Common Questions and Answers

What does the waterfall faucet consist of?

Waterfall faucets often feature a platform design where an angled tray hangs by a sloping cylinder. At the center of the platform, a metal rod unleashes a cascade of water that appears to flow more naturally than it would with an average faucet. Another waterfall design looks more old-fashioned, consisting of a faucet pipe made from pewter, brass, or the like.
