There are many details to pay attention to in home decoration, from confirming the overall decoration style to selecting a water pipe, each detail should not be careless.
Firstly, confirm the style of the basin to be used
According to the orientation and opening of the faucet device, it can be divided into wall mounted and vertical, single hole and double hole, single cold and hot dual-use products. Nowadays, the most commonly used products in home decoration are vertical cold and hot dual-use products. Single cold products are mainly suitable for public places and other devices without a hot water source
The selection of basin faucets is closely related to the basin. At present, there are several methods for washbasins on the market, including on stage, in stage, and under stage. According to the different openings, they are also divided into single hole, double hole, and triple hole. Before purchasing a faucet, be sure to confirm that the faucet can be installed on your basin.
Secondly, advocating the purchase of all copper raw materials for basin faucets
Advocate using basin faucets made entirely of copper as much as possible. Nowadays, the craftsmanship of all copper faucets is very sophisticated, occupying a large portion of the market share. The real all copper faucet handle, decorative nut, conversion valve, wall cover, connecting nut and eccentric joint, and water outlet shell are all made of brass. After electroplating, they are not only beautiful and heavy, but also durable. When purchasing, it is necessary to ask in detail whether it is a real all copper faucet or whether the main body is made of all copper. In most cases, it is possible to distinguish whether a faucet is made of all copper based on its weight and sound. All copper faucets are generally heavier and the knocking sound is dull and dull
Thirdly, advocating the purchase of ceramic valve cores for basin faucets
The valve core is the most important component of the faucet, which directly affects the user experience and the lifespan of the faucet. At present, it is recommended to choose ceramic valve cores. Nowadays, high-quality leading products in shopping malls have a service life of generally over 5 years and can be opened 500000 times smoothly. The valve cores of these types of faucets are mostly of ceramic quality, while traditional copper cores in the past were simple aging and not durable.
Fourthly, carefully select the length of the faucet for the basin faucet
According to the differences in water outlets, there are straight outlet, skewed outlet, rotating outlet, withdrawable outlet, wide nozzle outlet, etc
Straight water discharge is the most traditional method of water discharge. When purchasing this type of faucet, attention should be paid to the length of the faucet nozzle. If it is too short, it may cause the hand to touch the edge of the basin when combing and washing
Skew water outlet refers to the outward slanted spraying of the water outlet, which can save space. A shorter water nozzle can spray water into the middle of the pool. However, this type of nozzle will flow straight down when the water pressure is low or when the water flow is turned off, which can still cause problems with hands touching the edge of the basin
The rotating water outlet allows the water nozzle to rotate 360 °, making it convenient for cleaning the face, etc. However, some rotating faucets have a short lower outlet (otherwise when spraying water upwards, it will spray out of the basin), which can affect the convenience of normal washing. If the basin is too small, it is not recommended to use this type of faucet that can be pulled out. The water outlet is connected to the faucet through a hose and is usually embedded in the faucet. When needed, it can be pulled out and used. The advantage is that the faucet can flow freely in any direction, but when pulling out the faucet, it is necessary to leave one hand free to catch the faucet. The wide mouth of the faucet indicates that the water outlet is flat, and when it flows out, the water flows in a waterfall shape, forming a water curtain. The characteristic of this type of faucet is that it is beautiful and personalized, but in terms of its washing effect, the water flow is small and dispersed, which is not as good as traditional water discharge methods.
Fifth: Advocate for purchasing basin faucets with lifting handles
The handle of the basin faucet is mainly divided into single handle and double handle, among which there are several types of single handle, such as spiral type, lifting type, wrench type, induction type, delayed closed type, etc
The characteristics of a single handle are convenient operation and simple structure. For a double handle, the water temperature needs to be adjusted with both hands, but the style can be suitable for more occasions (such as under the table basin faucet). When a single handle faucet is opened and closed, the water pressure will quickly increase. If the copper content of the product is not high, it cannot withstand the expansion of water pressure and is easily damaged. Therefore, when using a single handle faucet, it should gradually open and close. The double handle faucet has a wide range of pressure resistance, and the water pressure is gradually released, so there is no such problem. But the double handle faucet should not be closed too tightly, otherwise it will cause the water stop plug to fall off, causing it to be unable to close or stop water.
If it is necessary to quickly adjust the temperature and flow of water, it is not advisable to choose a double handle faucet, and it is best to use a single handle faucet. If it is necessary to change the direction of water use, fixed faucets should not be used, but mobile ones should be used.
In single handle faucets, spiral style faucets have been basically screened. Wrench type, induction type, and delayed closed type are all difficult to achieve the function of regulating water volume and temperature on one switch. So if you want to adjust the water temperature on the basin, the best choice is a lifting handle. The lifting handle generally controls the water volume through vertical lifting and horizontal rotation to regulate the water temperature. It is currently the most practical and common handle for basin faucets.
