Why Choose Danze?

We can think of a lot of reasons to choose a Danze Faucet for your next kitchen or bathroom remodel, but here are our top 4:

Danze Faucet Buying Guide

Style & Finish

Danze faucets come in a variety of different styles, from modern to traditional to antique inspired. No matter what your style or personal preference, Danze has a faucet to fit your kitchen or bathroom.

For finishes, the Danze company uses six different selections, but it should be noted that not every finish is available for every faucet. The finishes Danze uses are:

Size (Spout Height and Reach)

Operation

Flow Rate

According to Hunker, the average flow rate of a kitchen faucet is 2.2 GPM (or gallons per minute). In America’s effort to be more energy efficient and eco-friendlier, a lot of the models that we look at have a more restricted flow (around 1.75 GPM).

This is something to consider when purchasing your faucet, but shouldn’t necessarily be a deal-breaker, as some jurisdictions are even beginning to regulate how many GPMs are allowed.

Durability

When it comes to faucets, you will want to make sure that the product you purchase is durable and can stand up to everyday wear and tear. Most Danze faucets are built with a heavy-duty brass and are made to last.

You might find yourself paying more for a Danze faucet than other name brands, but we feel that it is worth the money to assure a high-quality product.

Mounting Style/Installation

There are three standard ways to mount and install a faucet. The first is sink mounted. Traditional sinks have holes built right in them for the addition of a faucet.

Secondly, it is deck mounted. This means that the faucet is installed on the countertop (usually behind the sink). The third way to mount a faucet is directly into the wall. This is popular for pot filler faucets that are installed directly over a stove range.

Number of Holes Required

Warranty

All Danze Faucets are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, except for any electronic components. A 5-year warranty covers all electronic components. Danze will replace any broken parts at no cost to the buyer; however, labor and installation are not included.

As always, we recommend keeping a paper trail of your product (the purchase receipt, installation receipt if done by someone else, etc.) to keep your warranty from becoming void. 

Special Features of Danze Faucets

1. Danze D455158 Parma

Pre-Rinse faucets are incredibly popular right now, thanks to in part the many cooking and home renovations shows they are featured in.

This Danze Parma kitchen faucet has the classic pre-rinse design, which is the high arc (reaching almost 23 inches) and solid chrome build. I love that it has a truly minimalist design but can make a statement in your home kitchen. 

This Danze faucet uses a ceramic disc valve, which we highly recommend. These tight, leak-free valves originated in high-end European faucets. They are slightly newer to the states, but currently in high demand because of their ease of use and ability to be nearly maintenance free. 

One of the great things about the Danze company is their superb customer service. We read many customer reviews praising how quick they were to help them with a multitude of issues. 

2. Danze D401557SS Opulence

The Danze Opulence Single-Handle Kitchen Faucet is a beautiful faucet that has the traditional pull-out sprayer. It comes in four finishes that will appeal to any kitchen, and the style truly reflects vintage charm.

The Danze Opulence Single requires a 2-hole sink installation. If you’re working with a 3-hole sink, you can use the base plate that is included in your purchase, or you can opt to install one of Danze’s accessories, like the Opulence soap and lotion dispenser for the third hole.

You will want to make sure that you have a couple of inches of clearance for the handle to maneuver correctly back and forth as you adjust the temperature. A few customers have opted to install the handle on the front of their spout instead of the side, and this is not only unsightly but also extremely awkward to manipulate. 

3. Danze D404557 Opulence

For a trip back to the early 1900s, look no further than the Danze Opulence Two Handle Bridge Style Kitchen Faucet. This vintage-styled faucet will bring the antique elegance to your modern kitchen. The Danze Opulence Two Handle has the traditional hot and cold water faucets on either side of the spout.

Unlike many of the newer faucets on the market, this faucet sticks with the classic feel and the spout has a rather low clearance – it only reaches 10” high (compared to some of the other faucets we look at, like this one reaching nearly 23”).

I really like the bridge style of this faucet (or the visible "hill" you see on the spout). It's a style that you don't see that often but really adds character to the product. It's a product that interior designers are turning to in modern kitchen remodels. 

4. Danze D151558 Parma 

The Danze Parma Single Handle Bar Faucet is primarily built for smaller sinks like that in your home wet bar or small prep area. I love the simple design and clean lines of this bar faucet. It doesn't include a sprayer and is much smaller than a standard kitchen faucet, but it is perfect for a bar area and gets the job done. 

When reading the various reviews for this sink, we found over and over that people were impressed by how luxurious the sink looked and felt. The faucet has since been discontinued by Danze, but is still a popular option on Amazon. 

5. Danze D205058SS Parma Pot Filler

Wall mount faucets are often a sign of a luxury chef’s kitchen. These “pot filler faucets” are installed directly above a stovetop range for easy access and are typically only run on a cold-water line. This Danze Parma Wall Mount Pot Filler comes in three lovely finishes (stainless steel, satin black, and chrome) that will instantly provide an upgraded feel to your entire kitchen.

The modern lines on this Danze Parma Pot Filler are not only aesthetically pleasing, but they are also highly functional. This pot filler can easily reach out to 22" to fill any of the pots on your stovetop and be cleanly tucked away with its articulated pieces when not in use. 

For a complete match, you can look at the entire Danze Parma collection, which includes a variety of kitchen faucets including a pre-rinse pull-down faucet and a single handle faucet.

6. Danze D304658 Parma

As you can probably tell, we really like the Danze Parma Collection! It's no wonder either because the faucets in the collection are as durable as they are eye-catching.

This two-handle mini-widespread lavatory faucet has the same sleek, modern design as the Danza Parma Kitchen faucets that we looked at, but is made especially for bathrooms and has the classic two-handled (hot and cold water separate) design. 

This Danze bathroom faucet has a flow rate of about 1.2 GPM. When a lot of customers see this number, they think that the faucet is going to have a reduced flow rate. Companies are aiming to reduce flow rates in areas where we typically don't use as much water, such as bathrooms.

Compared to all the reasons you use a kitchen sink, a bathroom sink is generally reserved for washing hands, brushing teeth, and shaving. We can attest that 1.2 GPM for your bathroom is pleasant enough, and you might even save a few dollars on your water bill. 

7. Danze D305658T Parma Roman Tub

It once was losing popularity to the shower, but Roman Bathtubs are making a comeback in the US, and this Danze Parma Roman Tub Faucet Trim Kit will add style and sophistication to your bathroom. Like their other bath fixtures, it comes in chrome or brushed nickel only, which is a little bit of a bummer if you’re a fan of the satin black like I am. I digress, though!

Many of the Danze products are slightly more expensive than other name brands, but when it comes to chrome tub trim kits, we found that this kit is practically and steal, and other customers agree! 

Danze Faucet Types Explained

Single Handle vs. Dual Handle

Single-handled kitchen faucets use a lever type handle to control the temperature of the water that comes out, whereas the traditional dual-handled faucets still have the two separate levers for hot and cold water.

What you choose will depend mostly upon personal preference, as the functionality of the two types is nearly identical. For practicality and convenience, in my opinion the single-handled faucet wins.

Pull Out & Pull Down

A pull-out faucet refers to the type of faucet that has a separate, pull-out sprayer that is installed next to the faucet spout. A pull-down faucet also has a sprayer, but it is a part of the spout nozzle and can be pulled down for convenient spraying. Both options have become popular in modern day kitchens.

Installation of Danze Faucets

Installing a kitchen faucet isn’t necessarily a job that you’ll need to call a plumber for, but you will need to understand a few plumbing basics to ensure that you hook up your new Danze faucet correctly (without making a huge mess). This handy guide from The Home Depot can walk you through the process step-by-step.

That being said, it's never a bad idea to get your new faucet installed by a plumber. Having a professional do you install means that you don't have to purchase extra tools for the setup, you'll save time, and you can count on it being done the first time. (Did you know that most broken faucet calls are related to a poor install)

Having a professional plumber install your faucet will also ensure that you don't accidentally do anything to void your warranty. In the US, plumbers usually work for an hourly rate of $45-$150, so you might want to shop around first. If you're after a free quote for a plumber in your area, please use the form below.

In general, the prices of the Danze faucets on the list we’ve reviewed varied from around $150 to upwards of $500+ depending on size and functionality.

Where is a good place to buy new Danze faucets and older parts?

We recommend purchasing your Danze faucet through Amazon, not only for their great prices but because Danze is a trusted seller on Amazon and you can rely on their fast shipping.
