The bathroom fixtures market currently offers such a wide array of choices that selecting a bath-shower faucet will undoubtedly be quite a challenge. However, when making this decision, it's worth considering a few aspects.
Needs
When choosing a bath-shower faucet for your bathroom, you should thoroughly analyze your needs regarding this type of product. The decision you make will depend on factors like these. Undoubtedly, the lifestyle you actually lead will play a significant role. If you are an incredibly busy person who doesn't have much time for unnecessary activities and your bath should be quick and enjoyable, then a faucet with a thermostat function will be ideal. However, if adjusting the water temperature with a knob doesn’t bother you in any way, a thermostat might not be a helpful solution here. It's also worth considering how many streams the shower hose attached to the faucet can support.
Once we decide what features our faucet should have, we will have another choice to make - the type of installation. At present, we can opt for bath-shower faucets that can be installed in 4 different ways. We distinguish between standing, concealed, wall-mounted, and bathtub-mounted faucets. How to choose? Undoubtedly, aesthetics and personal beliefs will play a role here, but we should also consider the practicality of the chosen application and whether we really need it. Maybe another option would be slightly better?
Your needs regarding bath-shower faucets will undoubtedly be one of the main factors determining the choice of their model. After all, nobody wants to have something in their bathroom that doesn’t meet their expectations and is insufficient and nonfunctional.
Preferences
It's obvious that when choosing a bath-shower faucet for your bathroom, you will be guided by your individual preferences. Everyone will like something more or less. Our individual preferences will have a significant impact on choosing the faucet design, type of installation, and features offered by the product. In short, it will affect practically everything.
When designing interiors, we often focus not only on the functionality of the products but primarily on their aesthetics and whether their style aligns with our personal taste. One person might prefer classic designs with a wall-mounted faucet and two traditional knobs, while another might opt for modern style with a concealed bath-shower faucet with a thermostat. If we are making a decision together with someone, there will undoubtedly be discussions. It’s worth considering all the pros and cons of a given product and matching it to the style of the entire room.
Possibilities
Each of us would like the bath-shower faucet installed in our bathroom to be visually appealing and meet all our expectations regarding available functions. This is self-evident, we all want to be satisfied with a product, especially one that's going to stay with us for a long time. However, not always do we have the option to choose exactly the bath-shower faucet we want. In such cases, we have to look for alternatives that suit us.
Unfortunately, there are situations where the layout of our bathroom doesn't allow for the installation of the selected faucet. This certainly is the case when the pipe outlets are unevenly extended or turned at certain angles. In the mentioned example, you can still try to do something, but it might turn out that it's not entirely possible and you’ll have to seek slightly different solutions.
Unfortunately, plumbing cannot be outsmarted, and not every idea can be put into practice. It's worth consulting a specialist at the very beginning and asking them what solutions might be possible and which would be the least problematic in our situation. Sometimes, changes are needed when tiles are already laid, which often results in damaging some of them. This, in turn, involves additional costs that we would all undoubtedly prefer to avoid. Therefore, we should carefully analyze what installation options for a bath-shower faucet we truly have in our bathroom.
