Sooner or later, the moment comes when you need to change the faucet in the kitchen or in the bathroom. Despite the resemblance, kitchen taps and faucets used in bathrooms have fundamental differences.
Types of faucets:
- Two-fan - consist of two fans, which are designed to mix hot and cold water. There are two types: the first are represented by devices with reciprocating crane-boxes with flexible gasket; the second work, pressing the rubber gasket to the base of the crane-axle box;
- One-armed - functional mixers that require minimal effort. The water pressure is adjusted by pressing the lever up and down, temperature - left-right;
- Touch - smart models without the use of additional mechanisms. The mixers are equipped with infrared sensors, which respond to the movement of the hand brought to them. You can adjust the start time of the flow of water and the end of the process;
- Thermostatic - a novelty that allows you to set the desired water temperature. It is used in apartments where there are pressure differences in water supply systems. A great option for families where there are small children who, due to the instability of the system, can get burns.
Differences between a kitchen faucet and a bathroom faucet
The faucet in the kitchen is constantly exposed to increased loads. In order to cope with them, it is better to opt for a functional mixer with a high spout. Such a model will allow pouring water into dishes with high sides without spraying it on the floor and furniture. There is another option - a faucet with pull-out shower, which is great for small rooms and small sinks. With the help of a shower, you can get to the most secluded corners, pour water into various containers. Under the shower head there is a lever that controls the pressure and the spray mode.
There are a lot of models of bathroom faucets. But you need to choose a model not so much in appearance as in its functionality and convenience. Usually wall mounted faucets are installed in bathrooms with a small spout of large diameter, which allows you to quickly fill the bath with water. If there is a washbasin without a tap next to the bathtub, it is best to install a faucet with a swivel spout.
In order to select the desired crane, you need to understand the functions that will be a priority, and carefully study the characteristics of the device.
