Wall Mount Faucets

November 5, 2011

This beautiful Easton faucet in brass (with a soapstone utility sink) is configured for wall mounting with wall unions. A dramatic and functional mudroom is the end result.Slideshow

Once again Eric Rexrode, our Waterworks Outside Sales Consultant in Philadelphia, has kindly written this post.

I love this idea because it’s a great solution to gain more counter space as well as to use that often forgotten vertical layer in the bathroom. The wall above the sink is most commonly used for medicine cabinets, mirrors, lighting or a small shelf. But moving your faucet to this space can create an additional design element. This is the perfect solution when there is insufficient depth to properly mount a fitting in the counter. (A counter with a stone top and undermount oval sink should be no less than 23″.)
