Pros and cons of concealed bathroom taps.

It can safely be said that concealed mixers are gaining an ever-increasing number of followers. This certainly applies to installers, private investors and interior designers. This growth is clearly visible in online shops, including at www.lazienka-rea.com.pl.

What is their main advantage over traditional brassware?

Above all, it is their extremely contemporary and minimalist character. They offer, of course, far greater scope for interior design. Naturally, the advantages of concealed mixers do not end there. Nor should one forget their drawbacks.

The idea behind concealed mixers is largely that anything which does not enhance the interior should be hidden from the owner’s view. This streamlined design will undoubtedly be a perfect fit for a modern bathroom. Concealed solutions are certainly a very good choice for smaller bathrooms, where every centimetre matters.

Which concealed mixers are most common?

Shower models are certainly the most common. Basin, bath/shower, bath and bidet mixers are comparatively rare.

Such mixers come in single-lever and two-handle versions. Customers quite often opt for a thermostatic mixer, which enables very precise setting of the water temperature.

Construction and installation

Concealed brassware can in fact consist of two parts: the exposed section and the concealed section. The exposed solution refers to the part of the mixer that is generally visible. This is where the temperature control lever, the flow control and the cover plate are located.

The concealed section, by contrast, comprises the elements that deliver the water; everything is hidden within the wall. Once the pipework and the mixing unit have been installed, typically only the cover plate and the mixer handle remain visible.

The built-in installation elements are in no way exposed to mechanical damage. There is also, of course, reduced exposure to prolonged moisture. The fact that all connections are hidden in the wall makes it easy to keep things clean. All the complex components are invisible and do not need to be cleaned.

To achieve the main benefits of installing a concealed shower set, it is essential to select the components appropriately.
