Blanco mixers: assortment overview

A mixer is a plumbing device that supplies water, regulates the flow and temperature of the liquid. Such devices differ in size, material of manufacture, type of construction and other characteristics. Blanco faucets are considered to be the highest quality sanitary fixtures.

The German company Blanco, which has considerable experience, offers a wide range of products in various variations. Even the most fastidious buyers will be able to find the right option for any interior solution.

Sinks occupy an important place in the kitchen and bathroom, therefore, the hostesses are very sensitive to the choice of these devices. Designs should not only be as comfortable as possible, but also meet high aesthetic requirements. Blanco's specialists have taken into account all aspects, so the mixers of their production have an original design, combined with functionality and comfort in use.

All devices can be divided into two-valve and single-lever. The latter type is the most popular among consumers, as it has a convenient adjustment of the pressure and temperature parameters of the jet. In devices of the first type, each valve supplies hot and cold water separately.

According to the principle of the structure of the spout, the brand's products are divided into two types: with classic and retractable device. The first type is self-explanatory. This is a standard faucet with two side valves. The second resembles a shower hose. It allows you to draw water into large and high containers, take care of indoor plants, rinse a large amount of dishes, fruits, vegetables at the same time.

Choosing a mixer, each customer understands that drinking water will also be supplied through this device, therefore, special attention is paid to the safety of the unit. This moment could not be ignored by the technologists of the Blanco trademark. The company approaches the hygienic quality of its products with the utmost responsibility, which is confirmed by the presence of all the necessary certificates.

The popularity of mixers from this manufacturer is due to their obvious advantages.

• Quite a long period of operation due to ceramic elements in the mixer device, as well as the use of chrome-plated stainless steel in the manufacture of the body.
• Originality of designs, stylish design. Depending on your needs, you can purchase any mixer model, including devices with a remote spout.
• Highly professional performance. Blanco employees are qualified professionals.
• Versatility in use. Faucets of this company are suitable for any design of sinks. And thanks to the huge assortment, you can choose a mixer that perfectly matches the exterior design.

Various materials are used for the manufacture of mixers: stainless steel, chrome, granite (modern SILGRANIT material) and ceramics. Undoubtedly, each of them has its own disadvantages and advantages.An innovative solution in the world of plumbing is considered to be the use of ceramics as a material not only for the body, but also for some constituent parts (for example, for ceramic cartridges).

Stainless steel faucets can withstand a long period of active use. Such products are distinguished by their special wear resistance and durability. They are available in matt and high-gloss chrome. The models perfectly complement the high-tech, modern, classicism, avant-garde interior.

Blanco granite taps are the perfect option for those looking to complement a natural stone sink. These devices are equipped with reliable ceramic cartridges. Models made of granite chips are presented in several colors: alumina, anthracite, champagne, dark rock, sand, coffee, chocolate. Blanco taps from SILGRANIT are able to harmoniously complement and even transform the design of any kitchen.

Ceramic mixers are products made of sintered metal plates, which are made from ultrasonicated aluminum oxide. Such devices are also represented by models of the original design. Products have a fairly long service life.

A harmonious combination of plumbing items can be achieved not only by selecting each element separately. The best option is to purchase a mixer and sink as a set. Blanco presents these kits in several versions.

Some two-valve models are equipped with either a rubber or ceramic gasket. Valves with rubber gaskets fail quickly, but their advantage is the ability to easily replace the part. Devices with ceramic lining last longer without breakage. They are also more resistant to temperature extremes. However, such gaskets require a filter to clean the incoming water, because some mechanical impurities can quickly disable the mechanism. Therefore, the company offers mixers that are sold complete with a filter.

As mentioned earlier, the range of brand faucets is very wide. However, some models stand out due to the increased demand from buyers. These products include several models of chrome-plated stainless steel.

• Blanco mida has a rotating high spout, ceramic disc cartridge, lever on the right.

• Blanco fontas ii makes it possible, if necessary, to combine drinking water with ordinary (for technical needs).

• Blanco sora - a perfect combination of retro design and modern equipment, has an additional lever for supplying drinking water.

• Blanco daras - harmony of impeccable quality and elegant style. The device has a swivel spout and a ceramic cartridge.

• Blanco trima - the mixer with a discreet design has a filter connection mechanism, an aerator.

• Blanco klea has an extraordinary design that can attract the eye and bewitch.

Models made of SILGRANIT material are also especially popular. Such products are pleasant to the touch, resistant to mechanical stress and temperature extremes, durable and absolutely safe.

It is worth noting that there are much more positive reviews about Blanco brand products than negative ones. Buyers emphasize the pleasant appearance of products, ideal shapes, a huge range of models and a large selection of colors. Many people like the pull-out swivel spout and the anti-limescale system, thanks to which plaque can be easily removed from the surface without any cleaning agents.

The main disadvantage is considered to be an unreasonably high price. Also, many complain about the problem with slewing cranes, which over time begin to move badly and "stick". Some users are unhappy with the short 1 year warranty.There have been cases when the aerator mount broke along the thread. The most unpleasant thing in this situation is that the company does not sell such spare parts separately, they can only be purchased complete with a spout. Therefore, it is impossible to replace a damaged part, and this is fraught with additional financial costs.
