9 best manufacturers of bathroom faucets

The main criteria for choosing a bathroom faucet

1. Calculate how much you can spend on the purchase of a new bathroom faucet. Remember that even expensive goods are fraught with shortcomings, however, in general, the high cost is the price for long years of reliable work (in the case of a reputable manufacturer).

2. Decide on which mixer functions will be most in demand in your home. If you have children, consider buying a thermostat. If your bathroom has impressive dimensions, you can afford to install a built-in faucet by hiding the main structure behind a plasterboard screen.

3. Do not forget to familiarize yourself with the features of the water supply in order to buy a device closest to the Russian realities.

4. Do not forget about the style combination: an expensive retro mixer will look appropriate only in the environment of other “aged” interior items. Otherwise, it will only be a ridiculous stain, conspicuous.

What type of faucet to choose in the bathroom

Depending on the design, all bath mixers are divided into four groups:

1. Valve. These mixers are considered classics of sanitary products. The history of the development of devices for mixing hot and cold water in one faucet begins with such devices. The main detail in them is the crane-box, which regulates the intensity of the flow during rotation. Advantages: low price, versatility. And the disadvantages include: leakage due to damage to the seals after prolonged use.

2. Single lever. Ball or cartridge - such a mixer is characterized by the presence of a single knob, the horizontal movements of which set the temperature, and the vertical ones - the power of the water supply. Despite the compactness and ease of setup, the product also has a significant disadvantage - rapid wear of rubber seals.

3. Thermostatic. Special sensitive valve, which is equipped with such mixers, maintains the desired temperature. Sensing a change in pressure in one pipeline, he immediately adjusts the second flow to it. Thus, you can adjust the desired warmth of the water only once, and then just turn it on and off. They are more expensive than previous models and have a significant drawback: automatic cessation of water supply in the absence of one of the streams. But thermostatic faucets significantly saves water consumption and are made in the original design.

4. Bnon-contact. These mixers operate using infrared sensors that respond to the appearance of hands in their zone of visibility. The devices are powered by mains or battery. Water supply can be stopped immediately after completion of the procedure or after a specified period of time. Advantages: significant water savings, ease of use. Disadvantages: high price, difficulties in filling large volumes of containers, incompatibility with hard water.

In addition, among the products of all brands of our rating, you can find models that differ in the method of attachment.So, they are all divided into open and embedded.

1. Open faucets, in turn, can be mounted, table and floor:

2. Hinged mounted on protruding tube ends. Their design is easy to consider, since all the components are brought out. To install such devices almost no special skills are required, it can be done independently.

3. Benchtop faucets crash into a small sink sink or bath. Fixing these devices requires special care, since it involves the creation of additional holes on the surface of faience products. It is better to entrust such work to professionals.

4. Floor MixersAs a rule, they are installed near the bathrooms and require pre-laying of pipes under the floor covering.

5. For installation built-in bathroom faucets space is required to create a niche behind which the structural elements will be hidden, leaving only handles, spout and shower head outside.
