This Fontaine Spring Faucet looks less industrial than other models, plus it has more of an “old world” style. However, you still get the multifunctional design of commercial faucets. So you really get the best of both worlds.
Therefore, if your home has a traditional, rustic, country living or shabby chic style, the Fontaine can fit better than other spring faucets. In addition to the oil-rubbed bronze finish, you can also get it in stainless steel or chrome.
Just like other spring coil faucets, the Fontaine features 2 spray functions (spray and stream). Hence, this makes washing dishes so much easier, not to mention faster.
By the way, you control the sprayer by using one simple button on the spout (see video below).
Spray functions: Two (spray/stream) | Drip-free ceramic disc cartridge
How Do I Install the Fontaine Spring Faucet?
First of all, installation may be easier than you think. For one, the only tools you will need include (1) an adjustable wrench (2) pliers (3) a pipe wrench, (4) screwdriver and (5) teflon tape.
Second, you can complete the entire task in only 5 steps. Not to mention, the first step involves shutting off the water and removing the old faucet.
