Bathroom faucets

The bathroom faucet is a basic sanitary appliance that controls the flow rate and temperature of water by mixing hot and cold jets. It is made mainly of solid brass with various anti-corrosion coatings, such as: chrome, black matte, PVD gold. According to their purpose, the faucets are for sinks, showers, bathtubs/showers and bidets. Depending on the installation method, they are divided into standing on the sanitary ware, wall or external, as well as built-in - with a hidden body in the wall, for which a special installation kit is required.

How are bathroom faucets installed?

The choice of installation method for bathroom faucets depends on the structure of your facility. Here are some of the most popular types of faucets, according to their installation method.

Wall-mounted bathroom faucets

Wall-mounted bathroom faucets are known for their minimalist design and functionality. They are mounted directly on the wall and allow the plumbing pipes to be hidden behind the wall.

This type of faucet is extremely suitable if your goals are aesthetics and saving space in the bathroom.

Floor-standing bathroom faucets

Floor-standing bathroom faucets are installed on the sink, bathtub or bidet and feature an elegant design.

They are easy to install and offer a variety of water control options. These types of faucets add a luxurious look to your bathroom.

Built-in shower mixers

Built-in shower mixers are popular for their concealed design and convenience. They are mounted in the wall and provide smooth control over water temperature and pressure. These types of mixers often offer mixer innovations such as sensor controls, digital flow limiters, and more.

Once you have chosen the right faucet for you, it is time to proceed with the installation. Shower faucets are installed by connecting to the bathroom plumbing system , ensuring the correct connection of hot and cold water.

After successful installation, the mixer is ready for use and provides control over water temperature and pressure . For optimal operation, we recommend regular inspection of the hose at the moving elements.

Criteria for choosing a suitable model

Choosing the perfect sanitary ware requires attention to detail to ensure that it will fully meet your daily habits, needs and interior visions.

Before choosing a bathroom faucet, it is important to consider the following criteria:

• Purpose - initially determine what you will use the faucet for - for a sink, for a shower, or for both;
• Design - choose a design that fits the style of your bathroom;
• Faucet type - decide whether you prefer a single-handle or dual-handle model. Also choose what additional features your faucet should have;

• Material and finish - be careful when choosing the material and finish of the mixer, as they affect the durability and appearance of the product;

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between the different types and how do I choose the most suitable faucet for my bathroom?

Faucets are mainly divided according to control: single-lever - the most convenient, regulate power and temperature with one movement, double-lever - classic retro style, separate taps for hot and cold, and thermostatic - maintain a set temperature.

Depending on the installation, they are: freestanding for sinks, wall-mounted for shower/bathtubs and built-in. Choose according to your plumbing connections, the design of the sanitary ware, e.g. a tall "bowl" sink requires a tall freestanding mixer, as well as your personal budget.

How do I keep the mixer in good condition?

Regular cleaning is the secret to maintaining the shine. Use only a soft microfiber cloth and non-aggressive detergents, e.g. soapy water or specialized chrome cleaners. Avoid abrasive sponges, bleach or strong acids, which destroy the coating, especially on colored faucets. For maximum protection and easy maintenance, choose models with anti-limescale technologies.

What are the advantages of thermostatic mixers?

Thermostatic mixers have a built-in cartridge that automatically mixes hot and cold water to maintain a constant set temperature - usually fixed at a safe 38°C, regardless of fluctuations in water supply pressure.

What are common problems with faucets and how do I solve them?

The most common problems are leaks or dripping from the spout, which is usually due to a worn ceramic head (coil) or seals. The solution is to replace the head. Another problem is a weak or splashing stream – this is almost always caused by a limescale-clogged aerator, which simply needs to be unscrewed and cleaned or soaked in vinegar.
