Hello!

In our bathroom, I’m planning to install two vessel sinks on a countertop. Now I’m just looking for a suitable faucet. To match the freestanding bathtub’s deck-mounted faucet, I would like something with a similar design (for example, like a Grohe Cosmopolitan, which has a gently curved shape).

The problem with most faucets is the handle. When the faucet is installed centrally behind the sink bowl, it’s difficult to reach the handle properly, or the handle hits the sink — at least that’s what I think.

So far, I’ve only found one faucet (a no-name brand) where the handle is positioned higher up, but its spout reach is too short. I don’t really want wall-mounted faucets because I don’t feel confident installing them myself. Also, professional installation would be too expensive, and it’s too inflexible if I want to change the sink bowl later and the height no longer fits.

Does anyone here possibly know of a similar faucet designed specifically for installation behind vessel sinks?

Good luck,

How about this: Manufacturer: Hansa Model: Hansanova Style?

It would look nice visually, but then I would only have cold water or water preset by a thermostat.

And there is too little space under the spout; if you remove the basin, there isn’t even 10cm (4 inches) more.

Hello,
what do you think about a Grohe Eurodisc Joy basin mixer 23428000, or a Grohe Allure basin mixer 32249000, the lever is on top and it is not a non-branded mixer, so your request should be fulfilled.

All mentioned ones have different shapes. That was the point. I think I’ll just look for a different bathtub faucet; that’s probably easier. ops:

I would say the only option is to browse through the catalogs of "Grohe," "Hansa," etc. However, the curved designs are usually only available with a side lever. We chose a built-in faucet for our guest bathroom sink.
