The theme of plumbing baths is relevant for all segments of the population, especially when overhaul of apartments is carried out. True, if some worries the availability of equipment, then others are the novelty of the design and the degree of luxury. At the same time, there is what any consumer strives for – product quality. The importance of communications, carts and Sanfayans fades into the background, if we recall that the link between them is the mixer. Without it, the full functioning of the bathroom and toilet rooms is almost impossible and therefore the choice of the mixer must be approached with the knowledge of the matter.
First, it would be nice to determine which mixer is more suitable in a particular bathroom – a single -leaf, two -wagon or thermostat. A single -leaf mixer is more convenient to use and easy to install, but the water temperature will have to be adjusted all the time. The two -welfare will have to be “twisted”, but the desired degree of water will be accurate. At the same time, it is worth finding out which seal is used in the mixer, t. To. Ceramic serves longer, and rubber is indispensable with hard water. There is another type of mixer – thermostat. Externally – this is a panel with handles, one of which is responsible for the supply of water, the other for the temperature. The main plus of the thermostat is that a comfortable degree of water can be set once, which means that no burns and hypothermias are scary to the user. Moreover, if desired, such a function can be disabled.
The faucets are different not only in terms of technical characteristics, but also for the purpose. So, experts recommend using separate equipment for a bath, shell, shower and bidet, since the wear of such an important part of the plumbing directly depends on this. In addition, the materials from which mixers make are different – it can be chrome, brass or mixed models, as well as exclusive options with marble, gold and even wood.
But back to the purpose. So, a bath mixer. The main thing here is to determine the option of fasteners, t. To. It directly depends on which the mixer can be installed. It is one thing when the mount is installed on the side of the bath or tile, the other – when the mixer is attached to the wall (here you need to take into account the distance from the wall to the bath). The hidden mount is also possible, when only the details responsible for the supply of water and its temperature are in sight.
The shower mixer differs its size, since there is no need to switch the system from the bath to the shower, t. e. water mixing occurs directly in the shower apparatus. Installation of a shower mixer can also be hidden, which is especially convenient with a small space of the shower.
The shell mixer is good to select complete with the rest. He can be both with one and three holes. At the same time, the main thing is to determine the eyeliners – they will be fixed or flexible depends on the material, but in any case, they should be of high quality.
And finally, a bidet mixer. On the one hand, he looks like a fellow standing on the sink. However, nevertheless, it has a difference: the aerator whose ball hinge helps to regulate the intensity and direction of the water jets. In addition, in the bid, you can mount a hygienic shower, but also use not just a mixer, but a thermostat.
By and large, which mixer to choose – wall -up, with a manual shower or with a shower holder, depends only on the taste and desires of the buyer. However, paying attention only to the appearance or chasing cheapness, it should be remembered that the “place of solitude” and the adoption of water procedures is too important for everyday life to save on them.
