Blanco faucets?-help needed FAST!

12 years ago

We have a slab leak that is leading us to re-pipe our house. So, it will put of the kitchen remodel for a while, but it is a sneaky way for me to get a new faucet(which is needed anyway)and not have to include it in my remodel budget;-)

I know I will want an anthracite Blanco sink, so to make sure the finish matches, I'm looking at Blanco faucets. Does anyone own one? Are they nice in person? I'm having to make this decision far faster than I would like, but at least I get new plumbing fixtures in the whole house out of it!

I have the Blanco antracite super single sink with a center drain and I love it!!!! So big...so easy to keep clean :) I purchased the Danske Opulence faucet in black satin to go with it...single pull down sprayer....one handle. Kind of on the oversize side...but I love that too and have had many compliments with the pairing of the two. Had an issue with the aerator on the faucet when it had been installed less than 24 hours and Danske was wonderful about replacing it, no questions asked really after I told them the story. Don't know if this helps, but I'm happy with my choices !!

Probably not the style you're looking for, but here's a shot of our Blanco Model #440704 pull down faucet

We've owned it for about a year.
It is sturdy and well built.
We got ours with the satin nickel finish and it's been easy to maintain.
They use counter weights to retract the head into the arm and it works well.
We have no complaints about our Blanco faucet

Do you need side faucet w/ Blanco Diamond Siligranit single bowl?

I just sent my Diamond Super Single with the fabricator yesterday and pointed to the center hole for my faucet, Delta Leland. Check the specs for the faucet reach. If you get a regular sized one, it should be fine, but good to measure first.

I have one or two. Quality faucet, mine were made in Germany. One needed a new rubber switch after about 15 years. Not as stylish or edgey as Hansgrohe or DornBracht - which I have too.

Blanco Culina faucet

We installed the Blanco Culina Satin Nickel Model #441332 about a month ago. So far, we're satisfied with the quality. My wife sometimes has issues with its flexibility within our 30" farmhouse sink and feels it could extend more. Power from the spray seems adequate. The major draw for me was the magnet spray holder as opposed to the regular arms I found on other "coily" faucets, which I felt were clumsy and hard to attach the spray to while in use. It takes getting used to, as sometimes the magnet in the arm catches the faucet when I don't want it to, but it's new to me. Compared to the other coily faucets I was cross-shopping, I found this to be the best. And I feel the closed coil provides a cleaner look while maintaining a bit of an industrial/modern look.

Blanco faucet anyone?
Q

Well I made my selections. The guy at EXPO told me that for the money, the Forte pull out sprayer by Kohler in a brushed stainless (or nickel I'm not sure) is a winner. He said it's as good or better than some that cost hundreds more. So I bought it. I've bought more expensive faucets in the past and they didn't hold up that great either. Our hard water is a killer. Bought two more for 2 baths, an American standard and pegasus. All supposedly are brass with ceramic disc so I'm hoping for the best.

Thanks so much. The Opulence isn't our style, but very nice. I'm looking at the Blanco Linus. My husband said to get it, so I guess I'd better click buy and run!LOL
