Pegasus Faucets is the brand name used by The Home Depot for vast line of kitchen and bathroom faucets, available for purchase in nearly all of their stores. Pegasus bathroom faucets and Pegasus kitchen faucets are both manufactured in warehouses located in the UK and Canada. Both lines are offered in a wide range of styles, guaranteed to suit nearly any color palette or decor.
Pegasus Faucet Materials
One of the main reasons Pegasus faucets are so popular is the fact that they are offered in such a wide range of colors and finishes. The possible combinations available when selecting a Pegasus faucet makes them perfect for any room in any style.
The two most popular choices for a Pegasus bathroom faucet are polished chrome and aged bronze. High polish chrome faucets are also the most common choice when paired with a Pegasus fired clay bathroom sink, offering a beautiful silver mirrored surface to contrast to the gloss white sink. For more rustic bathrooms, or those seeking a touch of international charm, aged bronze Pegasus faucets provide a deep toned elegance for a uniquely striking appearance.
The aged bronze look can also easily carry through to the kitchen as well. An aged bronze Pegasus kitchen faucet is the perfect accessory for a farmhouse sink. They also work well in kitchens that are seeking an old world and international charm. The dark bronze tones also pair nicely with many of the granite composite sinks in the line of Pegasus sinks. On a similar note, Pegasus faucets also come in a range of copper designs as well, pairing well with both the granite sinks as well as coordinating copper sinks in the Pegasus collections.
One of the most popular styles of Pegasus faucets for the kitchen, however, are their stainless steel varieties. The stainless steel Pegasus faucets are not only some of the most traditional looking, they are also some of the most cutting edge in contemporary design. The allure of the stainless faucets are also greatly improved by the wide range of finishes they are offered in, making them one of the most versatile of all the materials that Pegasus faucets are made from.
Both kitchens and bathrooms looking for a true vintage look may also benefit from the ceramic line of faucets produced by Pegasus. Relying on bright white porcelain with glossy finishes, the ceramic faucets are the perfect touch for that vintage charm that so many people are seeking in their bathrooms.
Pegasus Faucet Finishes
Aside from the wide range of materials that Pegasus faucets can be made from, they also come in a variety of finishes to further add to their decorative charm.
Stainless steel faucets are, of course, the most versatile of all the materials. Similar to the polished look of chrome, stainless steel faucets are extremely popular in high gloss finishes, offering a beautiful highly reflective finish, ideal for traditional kitchens or those with lighter color palettes. For a more contemporary design, stainless steel faucets from Pegasus can also be found in a satin or matte finish. These seemingly frosted finishes offer all the beauty of steel with a more subdued finish. If you are looking to go for a serious modern appeal, Pegasus stainless steel faucets also come in a brushed steel finish. This beautiful and sophisticated finish provides a standard satin finish, coated with an additional brushed design for a more textured effect.
Similar to the stainless faucets, bronze and copper faucets also come in the same basic selection of finishes. Bronze faucets, however, are also available in an aged finishes, highlighting the primary bronze coloring with accent touches in light green for a patina appearance. Copper faucets, on the other hand, are also offered in a slightly hammered finish for an added textural quality.
Pegasus Faucet Designs
Aside from your choice of materials and finishes, the primary qualifier for the different Pegasus faucet designs are based on what they will be used for.
Pegasus Kitchen Faucets
Pegasus kitchen faucets come in two basic styles, larger kitchen sink faucets and smaller bar sink or laundry sink designs. In general, these sinks can be found in either single handled or double handled designs. The primary difference being whether the flow and temperature of the water is controlled by dual handles or levers or just a single control. Taking inspiration from industrial and commercial kitchens around the world, many Pegasus faucets also come equipped with pull down faucets. This feature allows the spout portion of the faucet to be extended via a built in tube for added reach.
Pegasus Bathroom Faucets
A Pegasus bathroom faucet, on the other hand, can be designed for one of three uses. Pegasus faucets can be geared towards use in the bathroom sink, on a bath tub, or in the shower. The sink or lavatory faucet is the most commonly seen, as the other two designs tend to be hidden behind shower doors or curtains in most bathrooms. They are commonly found in both single and double handled designs, much like the kitchen faucets. The bathroom sink faucets, however, tend to be much smaller in stature than even a bar sink faucet.
Pegasus Bath Faucets
Bath faucets are either mounted into the wall, as is the case with bathtub and shower combination units, or are mounted directly onto the bath tub, as with stand alone bath units. Single lever units are commonly found in wall mounted designs, while double handle controls are more popular for tub mounted styles. Since stand alone bath tubs tend to be more exposed, in bathrooms that only have a tub and no shower unit, a Pegasus bath faucet is the perfect design accessory to give your bath tub a touch of class. These styles, in fact, tend to focus slightly more on appearances that other bathroom faucets, particularly since many stand alone tub units tend to be more ornate to begin with.
Pegasus Shower Faucets
A Pegasus shower faucet is designed to work in conjunction with or act as a bath faucet and a shower control. Often found in combination designs, shower faucets not only control the water flow and temperature of the shower unit and the bath tub spout, they also control the amount of water being directed to either the shower head or bath spout.
