Repair of the kitchen or bathroom requires a lot of investment and strength, and therefore want the final look to meet expectations. Important is the choice of mixer, which, in addition to its reliability, should harmoniously fit into the interior of the room. The buyer always faces a difficult task, how to choose the right mixer.
Which mixer is best for a bathroom?
In the bathroom you can choose two types of mixers - with a spout and without it. The first is used in the shower, where only a watering can with regulating valves is needed. But the version with a spout is used in a simple bath or jacuzzi.
The tap (spout) can be pivoted - when the tap can be turned aside or used for a nearby standing washbasin. It should be borne in mind that this variant often starts to leak due to wear of the threaded joint and the erasure of the gasket on the spout. A non-rotating spout is a short gander, which is integral with the body of the mixer, and therefore more reliable.
To the body of the bathroom faucet is attached a hose with shower head, which can be held either on the mixer itself or with a special holder on the wall. The options for switching the water jet from the shower to the faucet are large, but not all of them are successful in operation, and therefore, when buying, you should carefully study the principle of their operation.
How to choose the right mixer for the kitchen?
Sink with a modern comfortable mixer is the dream of every mistress. In order not to miss with his choice, it is better to make a choice in favor of a well-known brand than questionable products, but at a much lower price. The fact is that inexpensive materials and components are used in cheap analogs, which fail in a year or two and are subject to replacement.
The mixer for kitchen needs often has a flexible fixing, or a pivotal spout, thanks to which a large pan can be put into the sink, turning the faucet aside.
The kitchen faucet can be single-lever or with two swivel valves. Some models are additionally equipped with a small shower-douche, with which it is convenient to wash out overall braziers and baking sheets. On the body of such a mixer will be a lever to switch the water.
