2017-06-19
How to choose the right mixer for the kitchen? What should I look for first? Which crane will last for years and will cope with its duties 100%?
That you could find answers to these questions, we have prepared this article. Sit back, read and "shake your head"!

We choose the material of the mixer

The vast majority of kitchen faucets are made of brass. The only difference is that this material is covered. Most often the decorative treatment of a brass mixer is made of chrome, enamel, bronze or nickel. The most durable and durable are cranes with chrome trim. Only they have one minus. On these products, fingerprints, cooking stains and other contaminants are very noticeable. "Bronze plumbing" - reliable, but not resistant to chips and scratches. And here, the taps covered with nickel, differ a long service life and simplicity of leaving. Is that their appearance is not very presentable.
Also, do not forget that the kitchen mixers are ceramic, steel, stone, plastic or silumin (alloy of silicon and aluminum). These products have their disadvantages and advantages. For example:
  • Plastic cranes - cheap, but not durable;
  • Ceramic - beautiful, but fragile;
  • Steel and stone - strong, but expensive;
  • Silumin - usual and not very strong.
Tip: Always pay attention to the weight of the product. Remember, the heavier the tap, the more reliable it is.

Determine with the type of control

So, by the type of control mixers are divided into:
  • Single-lever:
  • Valve;
  • Sensory.
Single-lever valves are the most convenient to use. They allow you to adjust the temperature and flow of water with just one hand, finger, elbow ... Valve products fit better into the classic interior. They are more expensive than single-lever machines, but they consume water more economically. Sensory (contactless) cranes are stylish and practical, but not cheap.

Tip: In our opinion, a faucet mixer is better to choose for a kitchen that is decorated in a classic style (country, provence). In other cases, give preference to the single-lever design.


We deal with the height of the spout

Select the height of the spout from the tap, depending on the depth of the sink. If you can not get water into a large pot and the spray flies in all directions, then you have purchased not what you need. Please note that the high spout is suitable for a bowl whose depth is more than 200 mm. If the depth of washing is 170-195 mm, then it can be equipped with both high and low mixer.

Tip: The spout should always be directly above the center of the bowl. Otherwise, the water will splash or accumulate behind the sink.

We estimate "bonuses"

Kitchen faucets can have additional functions that significantly simplify our life. For example:
  • Built-in water filtration system.
This option allows you to get clean water without using special equipment.
  • Retractable spout.
The crane, which has a flexible pull-out spout, is comfortable and functional. With the help of this "miracle-technique" you can fill various dishes that are not in the sink, but somewhere on the work surface. Usually the length of the hose is about 80 cm.

Look closely at the appearance

Plumbing in the kitchen should not only be reliable, but also stylish. Therefore, to mix and mix the sink, select them from the same series. For the kitchen in the style of "high tech" a geometric shaped crane covered with chrome is suitable. Classical cuisine is perfectly complemented by a bronze, copper or golden faucet mixer. In the Scandinavian interior the plumbing from stainless steel or a stone will perfectly join.
What mixer to buy - you decide. But before making a purchase, remember the proverb: "Miserly - pays twice." So, be careful. Choose products of known and proven brands. Remember our little tips and get the best kitchen equipment.
