Are you looking for a modern Italian shower and want the perfect shower fitting to go with it? Our team would be happy to help you, so that you can find the right shower, which fully meets your needs and desires.
What is the structure of shower fittings? It contains basically four elements:
- Shower mixer
- Shower hose
- Shower head
- The shower bar and its wall holder
Which mixing tap should I choose?
Our manufacturers offer three different types; the classical, the lever and the thermostatic shower mixer.
The classical mixer has a spout and two handles, with which you can control the flow of hot or cold water. The lever mixer, as the name suggests, has a lever or handle to regulate the temperature and flow, while with the thermostatic shower mixer everything is done with two dials.
Classical shower mixers cause a large consumption of water, because it takes a few seconds to reach the desired temperature. However, in contrast to others, it’s a very affordable mixer, which convinces with classic and elegant design.
How should I select my shower mixer?
In addition to price, aesthetics also play a decisive role. There is almost everything: from vintage models for retro bathrooms to modern models with clean lines. Choose the shower mixer that best suits your bathroom and shower fitting.
Which surface best suits my shower mixer?
- Faucets with matte, brushed or polished chrome surface: durable and easy to clean.
- Faucets made of stainless steel: scratch-resistant but delicate
- Faucets made of brass: ideal to bring about a retro touch
- Faucets made of plastic: very affordable
To limit your water consumption, it’s best to use models that include a foam or flow restrictor.
In a nutshell:
- While lever mixers and thermostatic mixers tend to be more efficient, the classical mixer offers vintage aesthetics and affordability
- When choosing your shower mixer, aesthetics should be very important. Material and functionality come in second place.
- Technical standards should not be ignored
- For economic reasons, you should choose a shower mixer with a water saving function.
