Oras mixers: range overview

Oras has been manufacturing quality products for bathrooms, showers, kitchens and bidets for many decades, from valves to faucets. Their products are used in various fields (restaurants, apartments, houses, offices, hospitals). Products of this brand are in demand and popular due to their excellent quality, wide variety and long-term operation.

The Finnish company Oras has long been a leader in the production and sale of sanitary fittings and their elements. Finnish mixers ideally combine high quality and reasonable cost. In the manufacture of products, high-quality raw materials and reliable European suppliers are used.

If we take into account all the features of the Finnish manufacturer of sanitary fittings, then several of the most important should be highlighted.

• The uniqueness of the designs. Almost all mixer models are made of ceramic plates that are tightly connected to each other. This gives the product not only aesthetic beauty, but also makes it silent when the water is on.
• A wide range of models, thanks to which you can choose the mixer for any bathroom or kitchen interior.
• Electronic control system, which is equipped with many new models. It is she who regulates the temperature and water pressure, automatically determining the optimal performance.

In addition to impeccable quality and modern design, Finnish Oras products are endowed with a number of other advantages.

Each product has its own advantages and disadvantages, but with quality products, the advantages prevail over the disadvantages.

The advantages of Oras taps include:

• a special alloy from which products are made, as a rule, it is brass;
• check for water pressure;
• long operational period;
• hypoallergenic and hygienic;
• high degree of strength;
• the presence of a thermostat in most models, which prevents drops in water temperature, which prevents burns and scalding;

• the strength of the cartridges made from a durable aluminum dioxide alloy;
• efficiency of water consumption;
• multifunctionality (the ability to connect to the dishwasher);
• increased degree of resistance to corrosive processes;
• the presence of filters and high watering cans (kitchen mixers).

If we talk about the shortcomings, the most significant are the high price range of products, as well as the complexity of the design of some models, which makes it difficult to repair work if necessary.

All products of the Finnish brand are made of special alloys and materials, thanks to which they surpass many of their competitors.

The main material used in the mixer production process is brass. All areas of the product made of brass are covered with special layers. First comes the nickel layer and then the chromium layer. All mixer handles are usually made of ABC plastic. This material is quite durable, for example, it is used in the production of car bumpers. Plastic surfaces are coated in four layers.The first layer is nickel, then copper comes, then nickel again and the surface ball is chromium.

The pressurized elements of the mixer are manufactured exclusively from non-galvanized brass. In addition, the combination of plastic and composite is quite comfortable, especially when it comes to bath and shower faucets.

All materials are rigorously tested to screen out those with a lead content exceeding 0.03%. Mixer accessories (taps) that come in contact with water do not contain nickel.

Today the Oras mixer range includes more than 15 series, the main feature of which is high quality and individual design.

According to their purpose, all mixers can be divided into three types.

• Kitchen faucets. Most species are endowed with a contactless switching system, where the water temperature is preselected. The essence of the contactless system is that there is no full contact of hands with the tap, it is enough to bring your hands to the tap and the water will flow.
• Washbasin faucets. All models are equipped with a special limiter, which contributes to economical water consumption, reducing consumer waste. Some models are equipped with smart functions, where contactless water activation is provided.

• Bath and shower faucets. The range includes three types of mixers: ball, valve and thermostat. The ball version has a lever handle that opens and closes water. Valve - involves two valves, with the help of which the temperature and water pressure change. The thermostat is an automatic system that fulfills all options.

The most in demand today are single-lever mixers, as well as an innovation in plumbing - these are touchless mixers.

If we take into account the design features, the place of installation, the purpose of the product, then they are:

• two-valve and single-lever;
• structures built into the wall with decorative rosettes;
• mortise structures with the ability to mount on the side of a bathtub, washbasin, sink;
• freestanding models (floor type);
• shower systems equipped with a thermostat that maintains the temperature in a constant mode;
• with a different spout, which can be high, low, short or long, but not exceeding 30 cm;
• structures for a bidet, where a changeable direction of the watering can is assumed;
• kitchen models, which take into account, first of all, comfort, ease of use. The most popular are the swivel models with a built-in regulator for the aeration system and a pull-out spout.
