Bolden the Bold: One Sexy Faucet
Can a faucet be sexy? Because if it can, then the Bolden Faucet by KRAUS is THE sexiest. Now I know that is a bold statement. What can possibly make a faucet so goddamn sexy? Well I'll tell you... Come on. You know you want to read more.
Bolden the Bold: Features Like No Other
- Have you noticed its commercial design? The Bolden Faucet By Kraus has the industrial-style open spring spout that copies the commercial kitchen faucets which is so HOT right now.
- It's 18" tall. Size matters. Don't let anyone tell you different; Especially when it comes to the height of the faucet. This bad boy is compact. It stands at an 18-inch height, so it can fit underneath almost any kitchen cabinet. It's also perfect for those who can only get a small sink, but want a commercial looking faucet. Most commercial faucets out there are SO tall, which looks SO silly used with a small sink. Try and find another commercial faucet that is this compact. I'll save you the trouble. You can't.
- It has a retractable 20" hose. [giggity]. Most of the industrial style faucets on the market are just pull down. Which mean, the amount of hose you see above the counter is what you get. Well the Bolden isn't JUST a shower, it's a grower too. The Bolden hides it's long retractable hose below counter. So when you need superior maneuverability to spray here and there, the Bolden is there for ya babe!
- Rocker Switch. That's right. The Bolden is into Classic Rock. It's dual function sprayer can be rocked from splash-free aerated stream to powerful spray in a snap. And the stream will stay on until you rock it back, or shut the faucet off. Rock on!
- Yadda Yadda. It has all those other great features that come with the Kraus name. Like...... Heavy duty lead-free brass construction, best-in-industry ceramic cartridge, corrosion & rust resistant finish, Swivel(bility?) of 180 degrees, Eco-Friendly water-saving aerator, Installation Read with pre-attached 22" waterlines & mounting hardware and the good 'ole Lifetime Limited Warranty.
- Matte Freakin' Black. Just when you think nothing can be sexier than black, in enters his cousin- Matte. Matte Black. Not only is the Bolden available complete in matte black, but they have a two tone options mixing the Matte Black with Stainless Steel and a Shiny Black. These combinations are badass.

Really good actually! The majority of Kraus Kitchen Sinks are made of 16-gauge stainless steel, which is more than adequate regarding thickness of the metal. The sinks have a generous amount of undercoating and padding which results in a very quiet sink. The faucets are very well made and easy to install. We recommend their products to our own friends and family, and we also have their sinks, faucets, and accessories in our own homes.

Not normally. First, if you dig into the internet deep enough, you will find a complaint about every sink brand and rust.
Kraus is often mentioned simply because of the popularity of the brand.
Most frequently, something that looks like rust shows up in the first few weeks after the sink is installed.
Why? During the countertop fabrication process a very fine dust is created (like sawdust from wood, but very fine). If this dust is on the sink after installation and gets wet, it may show oxidation on the surface of the sink.We see this as the most common cause. Typically after the sink is thoroughly cleaned after installation, no stains will show up. Another situation that can cause a stain or mark is if something is left in the sink and it's wet, especially flatware, pots and pans, and steel wool. The composition of your water can also contribute to this. Water with high iron content will leave stains frequently.
