For many, the bathroom is not just a place where they wash away the dirt accumulated during the day, but a kind of oasis of cleanliness and tranquility. Therefore, the design of the bathroom is paid no less attention than other rooms in the house.
Many of us think that choosing a bathroom faucet will not take them long. But this belief is not true, because now manufacturers offer just a huge selection of faucets that can become a very stylish decoration of the bathroom, so itβs very serious to approach this choice.
So before , you need to know the differences between the mixers:
Mixers differ:
1. By installation methods:
- The mixer is mounted on the sink;
-mounter mounted on the wall of the bathroom.
The first option is much preferable, since almost all sinks have a special hole for the mixer, and for the second type of installation you will have to drill special holes for fastening.
2. By type:
- joystick or single lever, that is, one handle, which, when turned in a certain direction, allows you to adjust cold and hot water;
- Touch mixers are the most expensive type of mixers. The principle of operation is quite simple: a person simply brings his hands and special sensors that respond to movement include water;
- two-valve, that is, taps with cold and hot water are located on two sides of the mixer.
3. By the presence of additional functions and functionality:
- mixers with shower;
- mixers without shower;
-faucets-thermostats;
mixers with multiple spouts.
4. By type of seal:
-with rubber gaskets;
- with ceramic discs.
It all depends on the quality of your water, since if the water often goes rusty, mixed with sand, and so on, it is most preferable to choose a mixer with rubber gaskets, which can be changed very easily and inexpensively with serious wear.
5. According to the material of manufacture:
chromed;
- brass;
- from stainless steel;
-combined.
6. According to the manufacturer:
domestic
-imported: Grohe, Belario, Hansa.
The choice here depends only on your financial capabilities and preferences, because almost all manufacturing companies guarantee the quality of their products, which is confirmed by a large warranty period.
Before buying, be sure to pay attention to the following aspects:
-crane should open and close without visible effort;
- in no case should there be sharp changes in temperature during operation, so the course of work should be smooth;
-select a faucet that is ideally suited to the design of the bathroom according to its stylistic direction and material.
