Copper faucets will look great in the apartment decorated in a vintage style or loft style. In addition to visual attractiveness, copper has a lot of advantages over the generally accepted steel. After all, it is from a steel pipe, at best, from a stainless steel, and at worst - from a thin tin, the bulk of the mixers at the moment is produced.

Copper is not so corrosion, as steel, so copper cranes, as well as brass, will serve longer than ordinary and can not spoil the water rust. Since they do not need additional protection, with them even in ten years will not be ill chrome or paint. Moreover, every time using such a mixer, the owner will be a lacaround itself to polish the handles.
The more commonplace they will use, the less likely the occurrence of patina. Most often they are performed in retro design, so a copper mixer of the sink, made of ceramics with the effect of crackering. Fancy forms of mixers and dull noble glitter copper inspire respect at first sight. To install copper mixers in the apartment will have to upset, but the interior will look like not only much richer, but also at home more pleasant.
Copper faucets in the kitchen
- Copper faucet in the kitchen will be advantageous on the background of the tiled apron. It is best if it is the classic ceramics of one tone, or laid out in a checker order. The sink for the copper mixer on the kitchen will have to search. It is best that she was ceramic or from an artificial stone. In some cases, a glass bowl can come. From metal shells to look for a copper, enameled cast iron or brass.
- The tabletop in this case is better suitable for oak or book. The registered tabletop from artificial stone can still approach, but chipboard in this case is contraindicated.
- The copper kitchen faucet sets the tone to other elements of the interior and pushes to the original designer solutions. For example, rails in such a kitchen will not shine chrome, and the stove handles too. The kitchen headset will mostly resemble the style of Provence and abound with copper fittings. Hood in such a kitchen can be collected from sheet copper.
- Spotlight type lamps, decorated with copper and placed by three three on copper rails, add lights in the right places and noble metal in the interior. Only during the design of the cuisine in the loft style electric stove with the touch panel will be able to "get along" with a copper crane. If the design is selected in retro theme, then the copper liner for the mixer can be made outdoor, that is, the pipes will not hide, as is customary when "flexible" wiring, but on the contrary - will be in sight. At the same time, they can also perform the function of kitchen rails, and on a hot tube it will be even dried kitchen towels.
Copper mixers in the bathroom
- Copper bathroom faucets also impose their noble breed to its entire interior. In order for the mixer from copper to look organically, it must be surrounded by other copper objects to the maximum. It can be a frame of mirror "under copper", copper or bronze soap, shelf for cosmetics, sink, pipes and door handles.
- The mixer with copper tubes can also be supplemented with the upper shower assembled on the basis of copper tubes. Despite the relative high cost of copper cranes and water pipes from copper, this design, requiring copper watering can be cheaper than buying upper shower in finished form even from steel. However, the watering can be made independently. When decorated in the style of loft and it, and the rim for the mirror, and the shelves with hangers can be made from the pipe, which is used for copper liner. This also applies to the crossbar on which the curtains should hang in the bathroom.
Copper color mixers
By virtue of its high cost of copper mixers may not be affordable to everyone who wants to issue an interior in retro style. In this case, you can purchase brass bronzed mixers. According to the functionality, they do not differ much from copper, and the price of brass is noticeably lower. The only problem may occur with time when during operation, in some places the thin layer that covered the mixer of copper will be wound, and the brass will explicitly perform. This problem easily solves the replacement of the valves of the valves as needed, and in some cases such sweats can add the interior of a kind of charm.
Copper trumpet
What to save will not work, it is on the copper eyeliner of the mixer water. Metal plastic or flexible eyeliner will rush in the worst sense of the word. Even painting "under copper", ordered from the best specialists, will not save the design of the bathroom. Or the eyeliner needs to be hiding in all possible ways, or it will have to be folded on copper tubes. The best solution is the second. Copper eyeliner is able to provide self-supporting design, allowing you to not tie the mixer to the wall or sink.
It has the rigidity, inaccessible metal plastic, and with proper quality soldering, incomparable tightness. In addition, the apparent cheapness of metal-plastic and flexible eyeliner is partially leveled by expensive brass adapters, crants and, during self-installation, specialized tools. You can cut off the tube and hand-hacking for metal, but the adjustment of the diameter and high-quality seal will require crimp, expanders and other "terrible" things that will be absolutely useful at the end of the installation.
For the assembly of a rigid, hermetic and durable design, almost arbitrary shapes made of copper tubes, only a soldering lamp will be added to the manual hacksaw for metal, and that can be replaced by a conventional lighter or soldering iron.
This fact can bring to thoughts on the use of copper tubes and in the apartment design outside the kitchen and bathroom. In the apartment with repair in Loft style or steampunk copper switches perfectly complement the outdoor wiring with cable channels from copper tubes. In addition, they can be used to produce original lamps A la Captain Nemo, photo frames and many other crafts.
Small crafts are convenient when soldering heat the reactive lighter or ordinary soldering iron, and the nodes of larger structures can be soldered over the gas stove, which will allow the maximum control of the heating in the right places. Recently there were options for mounting the copper water supply at all without the use of soldering, and they are actively gaining popularity.
