What Factors Help in Finding the Best Wall Mixer?

What is a Wall Mixer Faucet?

A wall mixer faucet is a type of plumbing fixture that is typically mounted on a bathroom or kitchen wall, rather than on a countertop or sink. It is designed to mix hot and cold water and provide a single, unified stream of water. The faucet typically has separate knobs/levers/handles to control the temperature and flow of the water. Wall mixer faucets are popular in modern bathrooms as they offer a sleek and minimalist look and can be installed at a convenient height for users.

At Ruhe, mixer faucets are available in a variety of designs to match different décor themes.

Why Should You Install a Wall Mixer Faucet in Your Bathroom?

There are several advantages to using a wall mixer faucet:

• Space-saving: They do not take up any counter space, which can be especially useful in smaller bathrooms or kitchens where space is at a premium. This can help to create a more open and spacious feeling in the room.
• Ease of cleaning: These taps are typically easier to clean than traditional faucets that are mounted on a sink or countertop. With a wall-mounted faucet, there are fewer surfaces to clean, and you can easily wipe down the area around the faucet.
• Flexible installation: They can be installed at a convenient height for users, which can be especially useful for people with mobility issues or disabilities. Additionally, they can be installed in a variety of locations, such as above a bathtub or next to a kitchen sink, providing greater flexibility in design.
• Sleek design: Wall mixer taps offer a sleek and modern design that can enhance the overall look of a bathroom or kitchen. They are available in a range of styles and finishes to match different décor themes and can be a focal point of the room.
• Water conservation: Taps can help to conserve water by providing a single stream of water that is mixed to the desired temperature. This can reduce the amount of water used compared to traditional faucets. Ruhe wall mixer taps have foam flow aerators that help in conserving 20% more water than the regular faucets in the market.

Factors to Consider Before Buying a Wall Mixer Faucet

1. Directly Buying from the Manufacturer: Buying mixer taps and other bathroom fittings directly from the manufacturer is beneficial in terms of cost since there are no middlemen to cut in their commissions, as well as the quality since the manufacturers that sell online directly to customers, can only promote their bathroom fittings by offering good quality.
2. Mounting location: Make sure to determine where the faucet will be mounted before purchasing. Wall mixer faucets require a separate valve system to be installed behind the wall, which can impact the installation location.
3. Wall Mixers Online: Usually physical marketplaces may not have the kind of variety and designs you would be expecting. It is always better to shop online for these products due to the variety and the ease of services the company provides.
4. Compatibility: Ensure that the faucet is compatible with your existing plumbing system. Check the size of the connection threads and valve openings to ensure a proper fit.
5. Material and finish: Consider the material and finish of the faucet, as this will impact the durability, appearance, and ease of maintenance. Common materials include brass, chrome, and stainless steel. Brass Faucets are known to last longer and come with up to 10 years of warranty. Since wall mixer taps are a permanent sort of fitting and not a yearly changing product, you should definitely opt for faucets that provide long-lasting durability.
6. Design and style: They are available in a range of styles and designs. Choose a style that complements your bathroom design and matches your personal preference.
7. Valve type: There are different types of valves available, such as ceramic discs, compression, and ball valves. Ceramic disc valves are generally considered the most reliable and durable. Brass faucets at Ruhe are equipped with premium ceramic discs that are tested for 500000 operations.
8. Water efficiency: Look for faucets that are designed to be water-efficient, such as those with aerators that mix air with water to reduce water consumption.
9. Budget: Wall mixer faucets can range in price depending on the quality, material, and features. Determine your budget beforehand to ensure you are getting the best value for your money.
