The arrangement of the bathroom ends with the acquisition and installation of the mixer. It will allow access to water, decorate the interior, emphasize the sense of style of its owner. However, only in the case of a competent approach to the choice.
Important criteria that you should pay attention to when buying are:
- Model;
- Ease of use;
- Manufacturing material;
- Reliability and practicality.
Types of bathroom faucets
The first type of faucets - single-lever, are the most common and affordable. Turning on and off the water supply and adjusting its temperature occurs by carrying out manipulations with the rotary handle. Such faucets can be installed both on the wall surface and directly in the shell or bathtub.
Two-fan models will be the best option for those who want to decorate the interior of the room in a classic or retro style. Such mixers can be called convenient to use, but not too reliable. In intensive use, they can leak and require replacement of rubber seals.
In a separate line should highlight modern thermostatic mixers that will give an unforgettable experience while taking a bath. A special mechanism will allow you to maintain a given water temperature during the entire procedure for taking a bath or washing. The big advantage is that the thermostat automatically responds to a cold water cut-off and turns off. Therefore, a person is guaranteed not to be burned with boiling water while bathing.
Production material
The life of the mixer and its external indicators directly depend on the quality of the material. If the buyer decides to save money and acquires a budget model, the main material for the production of which is the silumin alloy, it will not be possible to guarantee the durability of the product. In the best case, it will last from 2 to 5 years, gradually losing its technical and visual characteristics.
The most durable faucets are brass. They are highly resistant to moisture, temperature extremes and cleaning agents.
Mixers can be coated using chrome, enamel or nickel. Chrome will protect the surface from germs and rust and will fit perfectly into any modern interior. Enamel should be chosen if the faucet is mounted in a bathroom with a classic interior or if it should imitate natural stone.
