How to choose a good basin faucet in life?
Bathroom supplies are indispensable in modern house decoration. They also bring us convenience and save space. A bathroom has both a washing place and a bath, which is convenient and clean. When decorating the bathroom, we should pay attention to the purchase of bathroom supplies. Here are some basin faucet purchases：
1.How to choose basin faucet？
First, determine the style of basin you are using.
According to the installation position and opening of the faucet, it is divided into wall-mounted and vertical, single-hole and double-hole, single-cooling and dual-use hot and cold products. Currently, the most commonly used products in home decoration are vertical hot-cold products and single-cold products. The product is mainly suitable for installation in public places such as public toilets.
The choice of basin faucet has a lot to do with the basin. Currently, there are mainly three types of washbasins on the market: countertop, countertop, and undercounter. According to the different openings, they are also divided into single holes, double holes, and triple holes. Before purchasing a faucet, make sure it can be installed on your basin.
Depending on the water outlet, there are vertical water outlets, waterfall water outlets, Rotate water ,pull-out water outlets and other multi-functional water outlets.
Secondly, it is recommended to buy a basin faucet made of copper.
It is recommended to use copper basin faucets as much as possible. Today, the technology of copper faucets is very mature and accounts for most of the market share. After electroplating, the copper body is not only beautiful and thick, but also durable. When purchasing, you should ask in detail whether it is a real copper body. In most cases, you can tell whether a faucet is made of copper by its weight and sound. Copper faucets are generally heavier and have a dull and low sound when knocked.
Third, it is recommended to buy a basin faucet with a ceramic valve core.
The valve core is the most important component of the faucet, which is directly related to the user experience and the life of the faucet. At this stage, it is recommended that it is best to choose a ceramic valve core. However, ceramic valve cores are also divided into several grades based on different raw materials and workmanship. It is difficult for consumers to distinguish the quality of the valve core by themselves during purchase. Therefore, when choosing, it is best to buy products that have been evaluated by professional evaluation agencies, have detailed data, and have guaranteed quality.
Fourth, carefully select the length of the faucet of the basin faucet.
Vertical water discharge is the most traditional way of water discharge. When purchasing this kind of faucet, you should pay attention to the length of the faucet spout. If it is too short, your hand may touch the edge of the basin when washing.
Waterfall outlet is a way of water outflow that imitates the shape of a waterfall. Through a special outlet design, the water flow pours down in a relatively wide and flat shape, similar to a waterfall. It usually has the characteristics of large flow, soft water flow, and beautiful visual effects. , and can also reduce water splashing to a certain extent, and some also have water-saving functions.
The rotating water nozzle can rotate 360°, making it easy to clean the face. However, the water outlet under some rotating faucets is too short (otherwise, water will spray out of the basin when the water is sprayed upward), which affects the convenience of normal flushing. If the basin is too small, it is not recommended to use this faucet.
The pullable water outlet means that the water outlet is connected to the faucet through a hose. It is usually embedded in the faucet and can be pulled out for use when needed. The advantage is that you can freely let the faucet discharge water in any direction, but you must have a free hand to grasp the faucet when pulling it out.
Fifth: It is recommended to buy a basin faucet with a lift-type handle.
The handles of basin faucets are mainly divided into single handles and double handles. There are several types of single handles, such as spiral type, lift type, wrench type, induction type, delayed closing type, etc.
The single handle is characterized by easy control and simple structure, while the double handle requires both hands to adjust the water temperature. When a single-handle faucet is opened and closed, the water pressure will rise rapidly. 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, open and close it slowly. closure.
Double handled faucets have a wide water pressure range and release water pressure slowly, so there is no such problem. However, the double-handle faucet cannot be closed too tightly, otherwise the water stopper will fall off and the water will continue to flow if it is not closed tightly.
Among single-handle faucets, the spiral type has basically been eliminated. It is difficult for wrench type, induction type and delayed closing type to realize the function of adjusting water volume and water temperature on one switch. So if you want to adjust the water temperature on the basin, the 
best choice is a lift-type handle. The lift-type handle usually controls the water volume by lifting vertically and rotating horizontally to adjust the water temperature. It is now the most practical and common basin faucet handle.
We can also choose according to our own needs and room matching. You can make your purchase based on the above.
- Color selection:
Currently, chrome-plated stainless steel faucets are the most common on the market, and there are also some uncommon faucets with bright colors. For example, chrome plating, gold. Stainless steel chrome plating is generally in a simple style, and golden faucets are matched with European or retro styles to support the nobility of the entire decoration.
2.Style selection:
The handles and outlet pipes of faucets come in various shapes, most of which are streamlined. Various straight or curved faucet shapes can be matched with simple style decoration. If you choose a wall-mounted faucet, you must pay attention to the thickness of the bathroom wall before embedding the faucet. If the wall is too thin, the valve core will not be embedded. Do not remove the plastic protective cover of the valve core easily during embedding to avoid damage to the valve core by cement, etc. during embedding.
- Size selection:
Since the basins are divided into above-the-counter basins and under-the-counter basins, in order to match the form of the basin, you should pay attention to the height of the faucet when selecting the faucet, and try to keep the faucet outlet position about 15 cm higher than the height of the basin.
