Bath mixer with spout
A bathroom mixer with a spout is a classic option. The most popular model with a long spout is the model of the very first bathroom faucets that we are used to seeing from childhood.
But today they are modernized and meet all standards. A modern European standard involves a bathroom faucet with a short fixed spout.
But this, in fact, is not always a suitable model for a bathroom apartment house. Most often, this mixer is used for common areas, in shells of small size.
You can often find a bathroom faucet with a spout in the kitchen. These mixer models have gained such popularity due to the convenience of their design, as well as the simplicity and versatility in use. They are most suitable for the bathroom and they can often be seen, for example, installed in the bathroom sink. Their long rotating spout makes it possible to use this model both for the bathtub and for the sink. It is very convenient - one mixer for both the bath and the sink, turning with a simple movement of the hand in the desired direction.
Today, you can find bathroom faucets of various types: both with a long and a short spout, with the possibility of wall mounting the shower, as well as with mounting on the side of the bathtub and others. For the well-to-do customers, the sanitary equipment market provides a choice of mixers for a bathroom with a spout of elite class, for convenience of users equipped with a convenient touch screen electronic control of water supply. Such an unusual touch screen helps to quickly and easily set the desired temperature of the supplied water, which does not change during the whole time of washing thanks to the built-in device such as the thermostat.
When choosing a bathroom faucet, you should pay attention to the combined models with a long spout and a wall-mounted shower. At the same time, unlike previously produced mixers with a fixed height of the shower head, here this parameter can be manually adjusted. This model of the bathroom faucet is very convenient in everyday use, as it is possible to take a shower with the help of a watering can, and if you want to soak in the bathroom, this can be done simply by switching the water supply lever to the spout and, thus, filling it.
Mixer on the side of the bathtub
Next, consider the faucets, located on the side of the bath. They differ in both design and functionality. This mixer model has gained a well-deserved popularity due to its convenience of controlling the flow of water supplied from the tap, which can be adjusted by stretching out the hand to the side of the valve, without getting up.
Depending on the model, both the bath itself and the mixer, and also the type of attachment, the mixers on the side of the bath are with one hole, two, three or four and even five. This hole for the crane, for the shower, for the valves and for the mode switching system.
For some mixers intended for installation on the side of the bath, a hidden internal mechanism and a shower head are included. For some, they need to be bought separately.
The mixer on the side of the bath is usually installed vertically on the acrylic bathtub or on the side of the tile.
Often, high-quality luxury baths with hydromassage function, sold at a high price, are offered to buyers in full set, with a built-in mixer on board, equipped with a remote control.
There is a variant of buying an "empty" bath, then the holes can be selected for a particular mixer model, which is planned to be installed on it.
