Choosing a new plumbing, you need to be attentive to every detail, so that in the end, everything is in harmony with each other and served the owners for more than one year. An important aspect of the arrangement of the bathroom is the choice of a faucet for the washbasin. After all, its functionality depends on the convenience of daily use.
According to the material, the type of installation and the way water is regulated, the mixers differ from each other. It is best to purchase a solid brass faucet - its casing is literally eternal.
Important will be the price of this product, and the higher it is, the better the product. Unfortunately, the plumbing market is now flooded with products of the Chinese industry, which are made not of cast metal, but of powder materials.
Such mixers do not last long, because their body is short-lived, and the valve system can not be repaired and replaced. It is best to buy goods produced in Europe, where there are relevant quality certificates.
Washbasin faucet "Herringbone"
This version of the mixer for the washbasin is also called two-armed, as it has two swivel valves. As a rule, it is half-turn - that is, to turn the water on and off it is only necessary to turn the handle by half a turn. The inner ceramic ball box is much better than rubber gaskets in a similar full-turn valve cock.
The elbow washbasin faucet
A small-spread model of the mixer for the washbasin is the lever elbow. Judging from the name, we can conclude that it is intended for turning on and off with the help of an elbow.
Such a need is in the surgical departments, when before the operations the doctors, my hands, should not touch the surface of the tap - they do it with the elbow. At home, the use of such a mixer can be convenient for a person with disabilities, for example with amputation of the upper limbs.
High washbasin mixer
Under the sink in the form of a bowl, which is on the bedside table not every mixer fits. After all, there is no hole for the installation of the crane. So for such exquisite sanitary accessories are produced exclusive mixers that are attached to the table top and therefore have a height of up to half a meter. Such cranes can have different coatings - brass, chrome, stainless, antique (patina).
Washbasin for children
Not all children, having risen in the morning from bed, like to wash and brush their teeth. In some families, sometimes it comes to scandal at the very moment when you need to gather in a kindergarten or school, and the child does not want to put himself in order in any way.
To make it interesting, exclusive children's bathroom accessories are made, including children's washbasins and faucets for them. These are all kinds of funny little animals or fairy-tale heroes who will quickly disperse the dream, and washing in their company will be a good and long-awaited ritual.
Non-contact washbasin mixer
The most advanced in the field of sanitary novelties is the mixer, which does not require turning the water on and off with a valve. It works due to the infrared sensor, which works when a person brings his hand to the tap.
Of course, such a mixer is much more expensive than its counterpart with swivel handles, but it lasts much longer, because it does not have gaskets that are out of order. In addition, this stylish and elegant mixer also saves water, because once the hands are cleaned, the water immediately closes and precious liters are not wasted.
