This includes washing, mirrors, sinks, brushes, soap dishes and so on. One of the categories is occupied by mixers. They differ in their characteristics, types and price range.

Reviews about the mixers "Frap" divided into two parts. And this applies to professional plumbers and ordinary buyers. One thing is for sure: a variety of models will allow you to choose the right option for every taste.

Features of mixers

Frap mixers are made on Italian equipment, but in China. The company represents a wide range of products at an affordable cost. And the quality is not deteriorating at all. The variety of models allows you to design all sanitary points in the same style. One of the key advantages of this brand is its economy. It consists of two parts. First, the company's products are similar to expensive analogs, but are much cheaper. And secondly, it fully complies with the European standards for water saving. The enterprise has all the necessary certificates and licenses of many countries, including Russia. Service and repair during the warranty period are provided by the manufacturer.

The mixers differ in shape, color, style of design. Some of the models are very similar to European goods. The rest is decorated in an original style. Variations with rounded or straight angles can be selected from the shape. Colors are present as classical (chrome, matt chrome, bronze or gold), and original (black, white, yellow, blue and so on).

The most popular are, according to reviews, mixers "Frap" of two lines: Gappo and Frud. The first includes the most expensive and high-quality models. The second line is a budget option.

Types of models produced

Mixers Frap are made of several types:

• Classic versions with two valves. They are perfect for those who prefer traditions. The head and temperature of the water is regulated by means of two cranes. One of them is responsible for cold water, the other for hot water. From previous generations, the models differ in that the valves are replaced by boxes that are capable of turning only half a turn. This category includes such models as G4012 for washing, G2212 with wall mount, F2077 with an interesting form of valves and many others.
  

• Mixers with joystick. The head changes when the lever moves up or down. And the temperature is when the lever is turned to the left or to the right. According to the reviews, the mixers "Frap" of this type are very convenient to use. They allow you to adjust the flow of water with one hand. Examples are the G1014 faucets for the washbasin, G4001 from the Avanda collection, the G2208 wall model.
• Sensory mixers are leaders in the comfort of use. There is a sensor sensor, through which the desired temperature and flow power are adjusted. Of the representatives of this group can be called G516.
• With thermostatic sensors. This mixer is able to maintain the set temperature regardless of the water temperature in the water pipe or change the head. A prime example is the model F3051 with a brass body and watering can.

As can be judged from the reviews on the mixer "Frap", buyers tend to prefer single-lever models. To use them is much easier than, for example, two-lever. Sensor models often have problems during operation. And the options with thermal sensors are not always pleasing to their users.

Material of manufacture

The manufacturer uses brass and silumin for making mixers. As a coating, chrome is most often used. The coating can also be matte. There are models whose coating resembles bronze (Frap F3030-4, F4130-4) or artificial stones and other materials (Frap G1007-5, G3007-5).

This coating is used in the design models of mixers "Frap". The customer's comments point out that the models in the "Granite" style are perfectly combined with sinks and sinks made of artificial stone.

Bathroom Faucets

Choosing a single-lever mixer "Frap" for a bath, you can pay attention to a model such as H51 F1051. This is a thermostatic option, which will exclude the possibility of a burn during bathing (this is especially true when bathing children).

Buyers note that problems do not usually arise within 1 year of operation. They appear after this period. The most common problem, judging from the feedback, is the fault of the sensor itself. This leads to the fact that the temperature of the water is not regulated.

In many cases, the mixer can only be used when the minimum temperature is set. Almost all users note tapping when pressure drops in the water pipe or the presence of an air bubble.
