Criterias of choice
When choosing a bathroom faucet, pay attention to the following points.
Control
Perhaps, this item can be called the main one when choosing, because the convenience of using the mixers depends on it. The control allows you to regulate the temperature and water flow. Before buying, be sure to try to twist and move the levers, study all the pros and cons of the proposed options, so as not to make a mistake with the choice. All the same Hansgrohe products are not cheap.
The line of the brand includes cranes with levers of all types. The most popular are the classic models with two separate valves for supplying cold and hot water. They can be attached both to the body of the mixer and to the side of the bathroom or sink. Such products look rich and beautiful, as a rule, they are covered with bronze or gilding, which is optimal for a classic-style bathroom. Unfortunately, not everyone is comfortable with twin-turret cranes. Setting a comfortable temperature each time can be problematic, because in this case the supply of hot and cold water is regulated separately.
But there are no such problems with single-lever cranes.... It is enough to set the required degree once and lower the regulator, after which it is no longer necessary to waste time on installation every time. Models with one lever have a more modern design, respectively, more suitable for a minimalist or high-tech bathroom. Hansgrohe taps with a bridge valve look quite original. They are somewhat reminiscent of the classic two-valve models, however, in this case, the turntables are not attached to the body, but to a small tube that looks like a bridge. A spout is installed in the middle.
Such products are suitable for a Provence or retro bath.
Material
Not only the appearance of the mixer depends on the material, but also its operational properties. For example, steel models are considered the most durable and have a long service life. However, they are prone to scratches and slight rust. Chrome products retain their beautiful appearance longer and are not subject to chips and limescale. Products from granite impossible to scratch, they look expensive and do not rust. Unfortunately, chips and damage are possible.
Spout
It is also important to choose the correct shape of the tap. It must correspond to the interior of the bathroom, this is discussed individually with the designer. However, there are some nuances related to the functional side. It is better to choose a model with a swivel spout, it is more convenient. The height of the device is selected depending on the depth of the sink.
It is recommended to purchase devices with a high tap, as they are more practical. But short mixers look neater and more compact, they do not take up much space and will look organic in a room of any size.
