Washbasin mixers are one of the things in your bathroom that are used several times a day and are visually a central element of your bathroom.

Design and function can enrich everyday life in the bathroom long after the purchase. Browse through the Schütte store and find the right washbasin mixer for you.

Types of washbasin mixers

Here at SCHÜTTE, you will find a wide selection of different washbasin mixers for your washbasin. Choose taps in a wide variety of shapes and colors, with various functions that make your everyday life easier and increase user comfort. The following types of washbasin mixers are part of our range:

Single-lever mixers and two-hand mixers

Most bathrooms today have washbasin mixers in the form of single-lever mixers. Single-lever mixers regulate the flow of hot and cold water via a cartridge. The same lever is used to dose the water supply. Taps in the form of two-hand taps are generally chosen nowadays to achieve a nostalgic look. However, single-lever washbasin mixers are much easier to operate.

Washbasin mixers for low pressure

A low-pressure basin mixer is suitable for you if you do not have a hot water supply to the bathroom faucet. In this case, the hot water is heated on demand using an instantaneous water heater or heated and kept warm in a non-pressurized storage tank. Washbasin mixers for low-pressure systems have three connections instead of two and special aerators instead of aerators. It should also be noted that low-pressure taps drip. This is not a mistake! In fact, dripping serves to protect the hot water tank from possible damage.

Washbasin mixers with pull-out hair sprays

Washbasin mixers with a pull-out hair spray make it easy to wash your hair using the tap at the washbasin. All you have to do is pull the spray and flexible hose out of the holder in the tap. The pull-out hair spray can be repurposed for numerous applications, such as the uncomplicated filling of a large bucket.

Washbasin mixers with LED display

You also have the option of equipping your washbasin with an LED tap. The purchase of such a washbasin mixer can be worthwhile for both design and functional reasons. For example, you can use the LED display to show the temperature of the water to protect yourself from burns or save energy. Water can be saved by visualizing the temperature, as less water is wasted when setting the temperature. For example, you can protect yourself from burns or save energy by wasting less water when adjusting the temperature. Taps with LEDs must have a CE mark in Europe.

Washbasin mixers with sensor

Electronic washbasin mixers with a sensor are particularly hygienic. Thanks to the sensor technology, the water flow is automatically activated when your hands come close to the sensor. Sensor washbasin mixers are generally used in public areas, but can also be a real asset for the washbasin at home.

Color variations

Modern bathrooms are enjoying an ever-increasing variety of colors. This also affects the choice of colors for washbasin mixers. At SCHÜTTE, you can get your washbasin mixers in a wide variety of colors. In addition to black taps, you can get copper, stainless steel, gold and many other color variants for your washbasin mixers. This is made possible by PVD technology (Physical Vapor Deposition), among other things. They are in no way inferior to the classic chrome finish and are often even harder and more scratch-resistant in comparison.

Care tips for your washbasin mixer

Avoid cleaning your tap with a microfiber cloth. A microfiber cloth can scratch the tap due to the nature of the material.

Always clean your tap with a mild detergent and a soft cotton cloth. We recommend using a mild, citric acid-based cleaning agent.

Check the seals regularly for wear and replace them if necessary to prevent or repair leaks from the tap.

Contact a specialist if there is a problem that you cannot solve.
