D&K mixers: features and purpose

D&K mixers are high quality products in the middle price segment. The manufacturer offers a wide range of models for the bathroom and kitchen, which differ in the number of valves (single-lever or two-valve) and installation method (built-in, wall-mounted). All mixers are equipped with anti-corrosion protection. The period of their uninterrupted operation can reach several tens of years.

Among the most popular types of mixers, it is necessary to highlight axle-type and single-lever faucets.

Mixers can be worm-type or with rotating ceramic plates.

Among the important advantages of this type of mixer:

• die-cast housing, characterized by high strength;
• ease of repair;
• interchangeability of parts;
• acceptable price.

Among the disadvantages of this type of mixer are the following:

• due to the variety of the model range, you can mistakenly purchase the wrong part, moreover, often they may not be available;
• you need to turn on the taps with both hands - this method of opening involves some inconvenience, especially if your hands are stained with dough or minced meat;
• tangible water consumption.

Faucets have a ball or cartridge mechanism, and their body can be rotary or cast. This type of mixer is sensitive to any foreign matter in the water.

The body of single-gripping models can be cast or swivel.

Among the advantages of the rotary housing, it is worth noting:

• the convenience of use;
• fast adjustment;
• long service life (about 10 years);
• acceptable price.

The disadvantages of products of this type include the following points:

• not strong enough case that breaks easily;
• when the gasket is worn, it is necessary to change the entire valve;
• sensitivity to any impurities in the water.

Faucets with a cast body will last much longer than with a swivel body, but these models are taller, due to which water can be sprayed outside the sink. In addition, in die-cast models it is inconvenient to use the rigidly fixed side handle.

On the official website of the D&K company there are mixers for sinks, bidets, kitchens, baths and showers, with a hygienic shower. The most popular are the models from the collections DA1430013 and DA1430012 due to the unusual color performance (orange and light green). Black models from the collection look stylish DA1432215... among them there are also mortise options for the bathroom.

Lovers of luxury and pomp will love the gold faucet from the collection DA1433203.

A wide variety of faucets in terms of style and color will help everyone choose what they need, from retro style to modern high-tech.

The washbasin faucet is matched to the depth and width of the sink. The height of the mixer, its shape of the spout and its dimensions should help to ensure that water does not splash outside the sink. According to the method of fastening, it is better to give preference to models with a nut, they are more reliable than fastenings with studs.

For the kitchen, it is better to choose a mixer with a swivel body and a long spout., then the water can reach all areas of the sink. The larger the angle of rotation of the spout, the more convenient it is to use. Budget-class models are limited to 140 degrees. In the more expensive price segment, you can find faucets with a spout of 180 degrees. For ease of use, the spout can be made flexible or pull-out.

Faucet-box faucets for the kitchen are not very practical. They are inconvenient to open if your hands are dirty and a large amount of water flows through them. Therefore, single-lever models are increasingly being chosen for the kitchen area. Since the faucet in the kitchen experiences serious daily operational stresses, it is better to choose a cast body.

Users of D&K faucets note the reasonable price for the products and their functionality, the ability to install independently, the presence of screws and dowels in the kit, and a hex key.

Among the disadvantages of the company is the country of production - China, and the lack of brand awareness on the Russian market.
