Ideal Standard faucets: how to choose the perfect bathroom faucet

If you're trying to choose the perfect bathroom faucet for your home, there are a few things you should keep in mind to make sure you're making the right choice.

Ideal Standard is one of the most famous brands in the world for its bathroom products, including faucets. Founded in 1872, the company is currently present in more than 20 countries worldwide and has a reputation for high quality and innovation in the industry.

Ideal Standard faucets are made with high quality materials and are designed to last over time.

They are available in a wide range of styles and finishes, making them suitable for any type of bathroom decor.

Features of Ideal Standard Taps
Ideal Standard Taps are designed to offer excellent performance and durability.

They are made of high quality materials which make them resistant to corrosion and rust.

The most commonly used material is certainly brass which can then be finished with the classic bright chrome color or with various metallic colors such as Brushed Gold or Silver Storm, particularly appreciated in all the Atelier collections.

For example, the Ideal Standard Joy mixer collection can be made in polished chrome, silver storm (matte silver), magnetic gray (anthracite) or brushed gold (matte gold) finish.

Some of the most common features of Ideal Standard Taps include Water Saving Technology, which saves water without compromising jet pressure, and Easy Fix Technology, which simplifies installation and maintenance.

Types of Ideal Standard Faucets
There are several factors to keep in mind when choosing a bathroom faucet.

One of the most important factors is the type of faucet, which can be single or double lever, wall or floor standing.

The majority of taps used in modern bathrooms are of the single lever type, i.e. a real mixer which, with a single lever, is able to vary the temperature and the flow of the outgoing water.

In some cases, however, despite the bathroom's style being modern, it is possible to opt for bathroom taps with two knobs that separately regulate the amount of cold and hot water and the relative flow: this is usually a more suitable solution for classic bathrooms but there are many models revisited in a modern way.

Other important factors to consider include the size and shape of the faucet, finish and style.

It's important to choose a faucet that fits the size of your sink or tub and has the right style and finish for your bathroom decor.

A wall-mounted bathroom mixer, for example, is a perfect solution for saving space on the washbasin countertop but, obviously, requires a different plumbing system than the classic single-hole mixer and, consequently, can be compiled and installed if not in the scope of a complete bathroom remodel.

Wall mounted faucets are ideal for creating a minimalist look in the bathroom, offering an elegant and traditional look.

Match Ideal Standard faucets to your bathroom decor
When choosing an Ideal Standard faucet (as is also the case with any other brand), it is important to consider the decor of the bathroom and match it with the right style and finish.

We are well aware that in recent years color has really dominated the bathroom too, both in terms of washbasins and sanitary fixtures and shower trays: even the taps go hand in hand with the rest of the bathroom elements and must be carefully studied to have the best possible aesthetic impact in combination with the other elements.

For example, if dark colors or shades of gray have been chosen for the bathroom such as tiles or sanitary ware, it is possible to combine a black or anthracite mixer tap, as well as the classic polished chrome in order to have a decidedly modern tone-on-tone creation.

The case of Country chic or vintage bathrooms is different, in which the combination with retro-style bathroom fixtures and furniture suggests the use of particular colors for the mixers, such as natural brass or brushed gold.

It's also important to consider the size of the sink or tub and choose a faucet that fits perfectly: a faucet that's too big or too small could upset the balance of the bathroom and make it difficult to use.

Maintenance and cleaning of Ideal Standard Taps
Ideal Standard Taps are designed to last over time and require little maintenance.

However, it is important to clean them regularly to maintain their finish and function.

To clean Ideal Standard Taps, just use a mild detergent and a soft sponge.

It is important to avoid its use of abrasive or acidic products, which could damage the finish.

Installing Ideal Standard Faucets is relatively straightforward, but it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper installation and optimum operation.

Before you begin the installation, it's important to make sure you have all the necessary tools and are familiar with the manufacturer's instructions.

Also, it is important to turn off the water before starting the installation to avoid water leaks.
