Floor standing faucets for unbeatable style in your bathroom

Everyone wants to make their bathroom an island of comfort and coziness, but at the same time add originality to it. That's why quite often when repairing bathrooms depart from the traditional options for installing sanitary ware, familiar styles or standard locations of objects. And that goes for faucets. Let's take a closer look at one of the modern and unfamiliar types of bathroom equipment - floor faucets.

Such type of plumbing equipment as a floor faucet is different:

1. Great height.
2. Durability.
3. Stylish appearance.
4. Convenience of use.

Often the floor model of the faucet is bought in addition to a non-standard bath, which differs from traditional options in size or original shape.

Thanks to the concealed installation, all pipes and unsightly connections approaching the faucet are masked, which is a plus to the aesthetics and beauty of the bathroom interior. If you have thought to depart from the standard layouts and install the bathtub away from the wall, the floor mixer will help in this case and will help to leave the room attractive and not cluttered with pipes.

Floor faucet models are divided by the number of "legs" into:

• single-legged (they use control by means of a single lever);
• two-legged models (they often have a traditional two-valve control).

Depending on the design, floor faucets come in absolutely different forms, from ultra-modern to elegant retro models.

A retro style faucet is usually finished to make it look like a bronze and antique at the same time. Such a floor mixer is well suited for classic interiors, for example, as a complement to a retro bathtub with lion's feet or to an oval marble bathtub on a podium.

The mixer can be finished in glossy or matt finish.

For manufacturing a floor mixer tap, high quality steel is usually used, which is supplemented with special coatings that protect against dirt and corrosion.

Most often the surface is chromed, which not only protects the faucet, but also gives it an elegant appearance.

In addition to chrome plating, the surface can also be colored or finished in gold or bronze.

The main element of the floor mixer is represented by a sturdy column, which is fixed in the floor next to the sink or bathtub. It is represented by 1-2 columns, ending with a spout. To the upper part of the structure is attached a shower head with a hose.

The main advantage of the floor column is high durability due to the reliability of the materials used for its manufacture. Technology is constantly improving, so such sanitary appliances now have a good hardening, resistance to moisture and low wear and tear.

The pipes to the floor type faucet are piped from under the floor, so before installing it, you should make sure you can allow under-floor piping in your bathroom. When installing the faucet, follow the instructions and pay more attention to tight connections.

Different models of floor faucets are made by such companies:

• Migliore;
• Hansgrohe;
• Oras;
• Grohe;
• Gessi;
• Nicolazzi and others.

At the German manufacturer Grohe, floor standing types of faucets are organically integrated into the author's series and match the style of other products. These are functional and attractive tall faucets. For example, if you choose the Ondus model, you get a minimalist faucet with a moderately curved spout.

The Veris model is simple and emotional. The Allure range has an integrated hand shower. All faucets from Grohe are finished with a StarLight Chrome finish, so they shine and shine, last a long time, get less dirt and are more scratch resistant.

If you're looking for a white floor faucet for your bath, consider the PuraVida model from German manufacturer Hansgrohe. Such a faucet combines new technology and a refined form. Vintage connoisseurs will love the Axor Montreux mixer range, and those who like naturalness will love the Axor Massaud range.

• Since the floor mixer is mounted concealed, it is better to plan its installation in your bathroom before the renovation there. The best time for installation of such a mixer is when the overhaul of the bathroom is done. There will be no problems with the installation of such special equipment and the owners of new homes, in which the finishing has not yet been completed.
• When choosing a place for the floor mixer, you should take into account its dimensions, as well as the service area. When the mixer is planned to be installed near the wall, it will not interfere, and in the case of installation in the middle of the room, consider the possible inconvenience of future operation.
