Placement of faucet ... trying to avoid problems

15 years ago

I plan on getting the Ticor S405D (double bowl) sink that's been mentioned here(in a 36"sink base) and we already purchased a Kohler Simplice faucet(high arc pulldown). My concern is the placement of the faucet relative to the windows above it. We have two wood casement style windows with a wood vertical divide between the two windows. Because of the difference in bowl size (smaller one on the right), we will need to offset the faucet slightly and I don't think the faucet will line up with the vertical divide of the window. The window casing is about 4-5" off the countertop and the faucet has a very high arch. Has anyone seen this setup and do you think it will be a problem just from a design/aesthetics view? Should I choose a different sink?

I have no pictures yet, as cabinets will arrive at the end of the week and I have an empty kitchen. Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't think it will be a problem since even if you could line it up w/the window divider the only time it would really look "lined up" would be when the faucet was "facing" straight ahead. Most of the time the faucet will be facing one bowl or the other (ours faces the larger bowl 95% of the time) so you'll actually have the arc itself in front of the window....the arc may actually do a better job of making it appear lined up than the faucet "stem".

This is what ours looks like 95% of the time (yes, it is also a Ticor S405D):

Even though our faucet is a Kohler Vinnata, it has the same high arc. Notice how, overall, it looks more centered b/c it's swiveled to the left...

I have that same sink, and my faucet does not line up with the center bar of my window:

Geylemh, it's a Brizo Floriano, and it's about 14 3/4" tall.
