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 mixers depends on this. Management allows you to adjust the temperature and flow of water. 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 lose the choice. Still Hansgrohe products are not cheap.
The brand line includes cranes with levers of all kinds. The most popular are the classic models with two separate valves for supplying cold and hot water. They can be attached both to the mixer body 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 bathroom in a classic style. Unfortunately, cranes with two turntables are not convenient for everyone. Each time, setting a comfortable temperature can be problematic, because in this case, the supply of hot and cold water is regulated separately.
But with single lever cranes there are no such problems. It is enough to set the degree you need once and lower the regulator, after which you will no longer need to spend time on the installation each time. Models with one lever have a more modern design, respectively, are more suitable for a bathroom in the style of minimalism or high-tech. Hansgrohe mixers with a bridge crane look quite original. They are somewhat reminiscent of the classic two-valve models, however, in this case, the turntables are attached not to the body, but to a small tube that looks like a bridge. In the middle there is a spout.
Such products are suitable for bathtubs in the style of Provence or retro.
Material
Not only the appearance of the mixer depends on the material, but also its operational properties. For instance, steel models are considered the most durable and have a long service life. However, they are prone to scratches and slight rust. Chrome products keep beautiful appearance longer and are not subject to chips and a calcareous raid. Products granite impossible to scratch, they look expensive and do not rust. Unfortunately, chips and damage are possible.
Spout
It is important to choose the correct form of the crane. It must match the interior of the bathroom, this is negotiated 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 crane, as they are more practical. But short faucets look neater and more compact, they will not take up much space and will look organically in a room of any size.
