Bathtub faucets

Bathtub faucets, which can be found in the offer of our online store, are distinguished not only by solid workmanship, but also by attractive design. The assortment includes both regular models and thermostatic bathtub faucets. Depending on your needs, you can get surface-mounted and concealed faucets. Although the former are the most common choice, the latter are becoming increasingly popular. They are often chosen for modern interiors, decorated in a minimalist style.

Regular bathtub faucets

Ordinary bathtub faucets allow for manual mixing of hot and cold water, thanks to which the stream reaches the desired temperature. The setting is made using a handle or two separate taps. Mixing the water can take quite a long time, and its temperature is not stable - it can change due to pressure fluctuations. For this reason, an ordinary bathtub faucet uses a lot of water. However, it is cheaper than a thermostatic faucet and does not require special treatment, such as dedicated cleaning agents.

Thermostatic bathtub faucets

Thermostatic bathtub faucets are a solution worth investing in. They are recommended primarily in buildings where there is a problem with water pressure. If it is insufficient, using a regular faucet at the same time as other devices connected to the water system will result in fluctuations in the stream temperature. This is a significant inconvenience, which a thermostatic faucet can easily handle.

It mixes hot and cold water automatically, quickly adjusting the temperature to the preferences set by the user. As a result, no water is wasted on regulating its temperature. This also avoids the risk of scalding. The temperature lock is especially useful in homes with small children, as it increases their safety.

Wall-mounted bathtub faucet - what are its characteristics?

Another factor that determines the type of bathtub faucet is the type of installation. A wall-mounted bathtub faucet is, as the name suggests, a product mounted to the wall. The length of the spout is of great importance in its case. It must be long enough to allow comfortable use. Due to the type of installation, there are concealed and surface-mounted faucets. Concealed faucets can be found in modern and minimalist interiors, where it is not too exposed. This type of faucet is both aesthetic and functional.

The second type of wall-mounted product is a surface-mounted faucet. It fits into a classic bathroom, where in the event of a failure, each element can be quickly replaced. Wall-mounted faucets of this type can have one or two handles, and are mounted for installation.

Freestanding bathtub faucet - characteristic features

Freestanding faucets are the second type of product distinguished by the type of installation. This solution provides numerous possibilities in terms of interior design. If you dream of a bathroom with a bathtub in the center of the room or in the bedroom, then such a faucet will be right for you.

Freestanding taps are becoming increasingly popular and are available in many shapes and types. They are not mounted in the wall, so they provide numerous arrangement possibilities. You can easily choose one that meets your expectations. Just remember that the decision to install a freestanding tap must be made before the bathroom renovation begins.

The material of manufacture matters

When deciding on a bathtub faucet, you also need to consider the material it is made of. A durable fixture will last for many seasons without the need for troublesome renovations.

A material that is worth choosing for a bathtub faucet is brass, a combination of zinc and copper. Copper in particular determines the durability and flexibility of the faucet. It is easy to check the durability of a product by assessing its weight. The heavier it is, the greater the chance that it will last.

It is also important to protect the faucet from corrosion. Constant contact with water means that the faucet, shower hose and other faucet elements should be resistant to water. A chrome coating protects against corrosion. Chrome is a guarantee of long-term and safe use of the fittings. It is not only resistant to corrosion, but also to scratches. Chrome requires daily care and maintenance, thanks to which

Chrome allows for safe and long-term use of bathroom fittings, as it has anti-corrosion properties and is scratch-resistant.

With proper daily care and maintenance, shiny chrome surfaces will serve us happily for a long time.

We will return to cleaning and maintenance methods later in the article, but now we would like to introduce you to what is hidden under the shiny silver chrome body of our faucet.

The inside of a tap or shower head should be smooth and the connections invisible so that the water flows smoothly to the outside.

The heart of the faucet is the head, which should be made of durable ceramic. The highest quality head will withstand up to a million cycles of opening and closing the water flow. It is worth asking about this at the bathroom fittings seller.
