Robinetterie salles de bains et accessoires de salle de bains: Despite being just small fixtures, faucets play a big role in the overall layout of a bathroom. Lavatory, shower and bath fittings assume a distinct personality when faucets are added to the mix. Bathroom faucets are selected based on mounting, construction, terminer, handles and materials.
For lavatories, faucet mounting depends on the type of sink that will be installed—wall hung, pedestal, under mount or console. There are single handle faucets that combine a spout and handle for a one-handle operation.
Widespread bath faucets have a center spout with adjacent separate handles to regulate hot and cold water. The spacing of the water valves and the spout are at least 8 pouces. Mini-widespread faucets have about four inches of space between them. Widespread faucets are normally designed to accommodate pre-drilled sink holes between 6” to 16.” Centerset faucets feature a spout with either one or two handles. This makes the spout and the hot and cold valves or handles a single unit. They are constructed for sinks that have a pre-drilled, 4” three-hole configuration.
Wall-mounted bathroom faucets are used for freestanding vessel sinks. The spout extends further out to clear the sink walls and reach for the center sinkhole.
Bathroom faucets constructed from solid brass are durable and should conform to the standards of the Safe Water Drinking Act. Today’s bathroom faucets are also available in numerous finishes: antique nickel, chrome, Nickel satiné, laiton poli, bronze huilé, matte chrome, pearl nickel, wrought iron, polished chrome and Venetian bronze. A hallmark of a good finish is when the faucet is immune to corrosion and tarnishing while remaining pristine and shiny.
Faucet handles must be chosen so that they coordinate properly with the spout and sink. Par exemple, a metallic cross handle might not work well with a colored glass vessel sink and spout. Clear knob handles, cross handles, lever handles and twin blade handles cover the most popular handle designs.
