Installation of an LDR Faucet

LDR faucets are a designer brand of faucets that can be installed in bathroom and kitchen sinks. If you have an old faucet that needs to be replaced then you can purchase a new LDR faucet online or from your local home improvement retailer. The LDR faucets can be installed into your sink the same way as another type of faucets, but it's important that you also refer to the installation manual that comes with the faucet that you purchase.
