The most incisive consideration in choosing a bathroom faucet is the requirements of not only the sink but the countertop on which it will be mounted as well. Not only is the number of holes critical, but also some sinks such as vessels cannot be drilled at all.
It has to be mounted on a deck or through a wall. It is also important to remember that desired accessories such as hot water spout, sprayer, a soap dispenser or the like need additional holes. Of course, many popular pedestal sinks are an all in one sink and faucet.
