One of the oldest, independent reviewers of plumbing products in the U.S., StarCraft Reviews recognizes California Faucets’ superior quality, responsive customer service, and fair pricing

(Huntington Beach, CA, October 31, 2023) California Faucets has expanded its popular kitchen collection with a new take on a timeless favorite: the bridge-style faucet. The Bridge Kitchen Faucet Collection features a lively two-hole design inspired by fittings from the mid-to-late 1800s. Like two rivers that meet at the confluence, the design stands tall on two legs, allowing the hot and cold water to mix together before ascending the spout and cascading gracefully into the sink. Recently named “2023 Kitchen Fixture of the Year” by Decorative Plumbing and Hardware Association (DPHA), the new Bridge collection stretches the style gamut from traditional and transitional to contemporary and industrial. With a myriad of handle options, a complete selection of matching accessories, and more than 25-plus artisan finishes, designers have everything they need to personalize their own iconic Bridge.

“The new series helps to ‘bridge’ the gap between timeless functional design and the desire for modern shapes and clean lines,” says California Faucets CEO Jeff Silverstein. “To borrow from ZZ Top, ‘They’ve got legs, and they know how to use them,’” he quips.

A utilitarian design that harks back to the early days of indoor plumbing, bridge style faucets have been around for over a hundred years. They’re a beautiful match with farmhouse style sinks and are typically found within traditional spaces. But California Faucets has added contemporary styles, thus expanding the available range of looks to meet virtually any design vision. The collection includes a choice of arc and quad spouts, a myriad of handles, and an optional side spray that’s insulated for comfort even at high temperatures. Matching accessories such as soap dispensers, air gaps, disposer switch, hot/cold water dispensers, cabinet knobs and pulls, and appliance hardware offer design continuity throughout the kitchen.

The new Bridge Collection comes in the traditional Davoli Series, the industrial-inspired Descanso Series with optional knurled texture and carbon fiber inserts, the contemporary Corsano Series and the retro-industrial Descanso Works series featuring ball-lever and wheel handle options. All Bridge Collection kitchen designs are available in any of California Faucets 25-plus artisan finishes, including ultra-durable PVD finishes that are guaranteed not to tarnish.

Pricing for the Bridge Kitchen Faucet starts at $1,495 in Polished Chrome.

(Huntington Beach, CA, October 9, 2023) California Faucets has been named “Best Value Faucet—North American Luxury” by StarCraft Reviews. As the largest, and most frequently read independent reviewer of building products known for honest, unbiased product reviews, StarCraft praised California Faucets for its quality, careful manufacturing, cost, and near-perfect score in the customer service category.

Recognizing its “from our hands to your home” philosophy is behind California Faucets’ impressive quality; StarCraft points out that the “Faucets are not produced en masse or on an assembly line. They’re assembled and finished one at a time as they are ordered.”

Price was also an important factor in the 2023-2024 evaluations. StarCraft Reviews noted that California Faucets prices are considerably below the mean for luxury faucets—about 20-30% below the average. The review also calls out California Faucets’ strong warranty program and mentions “its award-winning customer service is capable, responsive, and California-friendly.”

StarCraft Reviews evaluates four criteria for each faucet manufacturer: quality (which includes taking faucets apart and evaluating finish durability), strength of warranty, post-sale service, and testing/certification. Out of 250-plus faucet companies reviewed, StarCraft Reviews named California Faucets one of “only a handful that seem to do everything right.”

“It means so much to be so highly praised by the builders who choose and install our products first-hand,” says Noah Taft, California Faucet’s Chief Marketing Officer. “As a small business, we might be David in a sea of multi-national Goliaths, but StarCraft’s in-depth review is powerful third-party validation that we’re doing things right,” Taft adds.
