Bathroom

Choosing a bath mixer is as responsible a task as choosing the bath mixer itself. Moving between store shelves, we should remember that our mixer tap, which will complement the bathtub, is not only a design accessory, but also fulfills its functions. Here are three things you should pay attention to when buying a bath mixer.

The bathtub and the battery form a single unit

There are many models and designs of bath mixers available in the shops that can catch our attention. When choosing batteries, try to do it in such a way that they form a coherent whole together with the bathtub. Another faucet will match the corner bath, which will be made of acrylic, another will match the cast iron bath, which will be in a bathroom made and decorated in a rustic style. Let us try to select accessories and elements of interior furnishings in such a way that they form a uniform whole. In addition, apart from the design, the installation of a bath mixer, which will be mounted in the wall and will serve us for a free-standing bath tub, may not only prove unaesthetic and impractical, but also impossible to use.

What counts is the interior.

When choosing a bath mixer, we must pay attention to the elements that create it. It is worth looking at issues such as..:

  • The head, which can be ceramic, slide and thermostatic. The best and most precise is the ceramic head. Sliding heads are available in older battery types. The thermostatic heads, on the other hand, are responsible for maintaining a constant water temperature;
  • the weight of the battery, which may be translated into a proportion of its resistance to temperature changes;
  • number of handles - we have a choice between single lever or classic double lever battery;
  • the flow rate, which shall be specified by the manufacturer and specified in classes or litres of water.

Add-ons to make it easier and more enjoyable

In the case of bath mixers, we recommend using models that are equipped with a thermostat. Thanks to this, filling our bathtub with water at the ideal temperature for bathing will be even easier. A big advantage is a battery equipped with a lock to prevent burns. It sets a safe temperature threshold of 38°C. This function can be very important during the bathing of our children. In addition, we can pay attention to the possibility of connecting a shower handset, having a power limiter for spilled water, which is built into the overhead shower and systems that allow to eliminate the heating of the battery as a result of the flow of hot water and systems used to suppress the operation of bathtub batteries.
