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 the steel pipe, at best, from a stainless steel, and in the worst - from the thin tin, the bulk of the mixers at the moment is produced.

Copper is not so corrosion as steel, so copper cranes just like brass, last longer than ordinary and will not be able to spoil the water rust. Since they do not need additional protection, with them even in ten years will not be renob chromium or paint. Moreover, by using such a mixer every time, the owner will be a lacaround himself polishing the handles.
The more often they will use, the less likely to the occurrence of patina. Most often they are performed in retro design, so a copper sink mixer has done very often, made of ceramics with a cracker effect. Fancy forms of mixers and dull noble glitter copper inspire respect at first glance. For the installation of 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
- The copper mixer in the kitchen will be advantageous on the background of the tiled apron. It is best if it is classical pottery of one tone, or laid out in a checker order. The sink for the copper mixer to 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 search for a copper, enameled cast iron or brass.
- The tabletop in this case is better suitable for oak or book. A registered tabletop of 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 design solutions. For example, the rails in such a kitchen will not shine chrome, and the knobs of the plate 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 bled three on three 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 with the "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 possible to even dry 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 is necessary to surround other copper objects to the maximum. It may be a mirror frame "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 a 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 applies to the crossbar on which the curtains should hang in the bathroom.
Copper color mixers
By virtue of its high-cost copper mixers may not be affordable to everyone who wants to issue an interior in retro style. In this case, you can buy 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 the times when during operation, in places the thin layer that covered the mixer of copper will be wound up, and the brass will explicitly perform. This problem is easily solved by the replacement of the valves of the valves as needed, and in some cases such blows can add a typical charm interior.
Copper trumpet
What to save will not work, so 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 will have to be folded on the copper tubes. The best solution is the second. Copper eyeliner is capable of providing self-supporting design, allowing you not to bind 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 liner is partially leveled by expensive brass adapters, cranes 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 useless at the end of the installation.
For the assembly of rigid, hermetic and durable design, almost arbitrary shape 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 may bring to thoughts on the use of copper tubes and in the design of the apartment outside the kitchen and the bathroom. The apartment with repair in Loft style or steampunk copper switches will 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 heated with a reactive lighter or a conventional soldering iron, and nodes of larger structures can be soldered above 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.
