Sinokufumana iikomishoni ezidibeneyo xa uthenga kwiikhonkco kwindawo yethu.Nantsi indlela esebenza ngayo.
Ukukhetha izixhobo zokuhlambela kuvakala kulula, kodwa njengoko abaqulunqi abakhokelayo kunye neengcali zichaza, zininzi iingozi ezinokubakho.
Ngaphandle kokuba ungomnye (kakhulu) abantu abambalwa abenza i-decor yabo ngokusebenzisa izixhobo zobhedu, ukuthenga i-faucet yokuhlambela akunakwenzeka ukuba ibe yinto ephambili yakho.Kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba kufuneka kucingwe malunga nekamva - nangaliphi na izinga, ubhedu kufuneka lube yinto ephambili xa ucwangcisa igumbi lokuhlambela.
Kulula ukuwujongela phantsi umsebenzi onzima ongena ekufakeni iindawo ezihambayo ezifana nezifakelo zeshawa kunye neetephu yonke imihla.Khetha into ekumgangatho ophantsi okanye engangeni kwindawo yakho kwaye uya kuzisola kungekudala.Ukulungisa okanye ukubuyisela iitepu ezonakeleyo kunokubiza imali eninzi, ingakumbi ukuba zizitephu eziseludongeni okanye eziphantsi.Yiyo loo nto xa uza neqela leembono zokuhlambela, kububulumko ukunikezela uninzi lweengcinga zakho kunye nohlahlo lwabiwo-mali kwizinto zobhedu.
IiFaucets zibonelela ngenene ithuba lokutshatisa iindlela zangoku zokuhlambela kunye nokugqitywa kwentsimbi okufana negolide okanye ubhedu, okanye ukomeleza amagumbi okuhlambela esintu ngobhedu oluqhelekileyo okanye ubhedu oluguga kakuhle ngokuhamba kwexesha.Nangona kunjalo, inkangeleko nganye ifuna inqanaba elahlukileyo lokulondolozwa kwaye ukhathalelo lwasemva kufuneka luqwalaselwe ngaphambi kokuthenga.
Funda ukuze ufumane imibuzo engundoqo omele uyibuze ngaphambi kokuba utyale imali kwizixhobo zokuhlambela zobhedu.Unokumangaliswa kukuba zininzi kangakanani iingcinga ezingena kwimpompo enye, kodwa awuzukuzisola ngokuchitha elo xesha lincinci elongezelelweyo…
Akukho mathandabuzo ukuba ukhetho lwakho lwebrassware lunokuba lukhulu.Indawo efanelekileyo yokuqalisa kukhetho lokugqitywa kunye nesitayela soyilo jikelele - ngamanye amagama, anamhlanje, aqhelekileyo, okanye amasiko.
Xa oku kugqitywe, ungaqhubela phambili ekugqibeni, apho iinketho zakho ziya kwandiswa kwakhona ukukhetha phakathi kwe-chrome, nickel okanye ubhedu."Ukuphenjelelwa ngumkhukula wezinto ezitsha ezigqityiweyo kwiimarike, baphinda baphonononga ukuba izixhobo zobhedu zichaphazela njani ukujonga ngokubanzi kwendawo yokuhlambela," kusho u-Emma Joyce, umphathi we-brand kwi-House of Rohl (evula kwithebhu entsha)."Ngokomzekelo, ukugqibezela okumnyama kwe-matte kuyeyona ndlela ibalaseleyo yangoku ekugqityweni kwechrome."
Ijongeka inomtsalane ngakumbi xa idityaniswe nebhafu emnyama engqukuva, njengakulo mzekelo kaVictoria + Albert.
I-nickel epholisiweyo iselukhetho olufanelekileyo kwigumbi lokuhlambela lakudala-ishushu kune-chrome, kodwa hayi "ecwebezelayo" njengegolide.Kumagumbi okuhlambela esintu angaphezulu, “iindawo zokuhlala” ezifana nobhedu olungapeyintwanga, ubhedu, kunye nobhedu ziya kuguga ngokungacwangciswanga, zongeze ipatina kunye nomtsalane kwigumbi lakho lokuhlambela… nangona zingacetyiswa ukuba zigqibelele.
Buza nawuphi na umyili wegumbi lokuhlambela okanye ingcaphephe yobhedu kwaye uya kufumana impendulo efanayo: chitha kangangoko unako.Ngokusekelwe kumava ethu okulungiswa kwekhaya, ngokuqinisekileyo siyavuma.Enyanisweni, sisenokuthi kubhetele ukuchitha imali kwizinto ezinjengamampunge okanye ebhafini kunokuchitha itephu.Le yenye yeempazamo ezinkulu zoyilo lokuhlambela.
Enyanisweni, naziphi na "iindawo ezihambayo" ezinokuthi zixhomekeke kuxinzelelo lwemihla ngemihla, njengeefaucethi, inkqubo yokuhlamba kunye nendlu yangasese, kufuneka ibe yindawo ochitha kuyo uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwakho, njengoko kunokwenzeka ukuba bangaphumeleli xa ufumana "ixabiso eliphantsi".
“Iziphekepheke zobhedu ezitshiphu kakhulu aziyonto ilungileyo.Isenokubonakala intle ekuqaleni, kodwa ikhawuleza iphulukane nokubengezela kwayo kwaye iqale ukubonakala igugile,” utshilo u-Emma Mottram, uMphathi weNtengiso yeBrand eLaufen (uvula kwithebhu entsha).“Isisombululo kukutyala imali kubhedu olusemgangathweni zisuka nje.Ayizukubonakala intle kuphela, kodwa iya kongela imali ekuhambeni kwexesha njengoko kungasayi kufuneka uyithathele indawo iminyaka.
“Ndihlala ndithanda ukuchitha imali eninzi kangangoko ndinako,” uyavuma uLouise Ashdown, umlawuli woyilo lweeBhafu zaseNtshona enye (ivula kwithebhu entsha)."Izixhobo zobhedu zikhupha uxinzelelo kwindlu yangasese, kwaye ukwakhiwa komgangatho ophantsi ngexabiso eliphantsi kunokuphelisa iindleko ezingaphezulu ukulungisa nokutshintsha ekuhambeni kwexesha."
Kubaluleke kakhulu ukukhetha i-copperware yobhedu eya kumelana novavanyo lwexesha."Oku kubaluleke kakhulu kulabo banamathele eludongeni: kaninzi akukho ukufikelela ngokuthe ngqo kubo, okwenza ukulungiswa kube nzima kwaye kuyabiza," kusho u-Yousef Mansouri, intloko yoyilo kwi-CP Hart (ivula kwithebhu entsha).
Uqinisekisa njani ke ukuba umgangatho olungileyo?Ngokuqinisekileyo sincoma ukuthenga umbhobho wegumbi lokuhlambela kumthengisi "ohloniphekileyo" onewaranti yokuqina kwezixhobo zabo zobhedu kwaye sele ekhona ixesha elide ngokwaneleyo ukuba abe nodumo olumiselweyo lomgangatho.
Izixhobo nazo zibalulekile.Ngemali encinci, unokufumana i-faucet enezixhobo ezikumgangatho ophantsi kunye nezinto zangaphakathi ezihlala zihleli.Ukonyusa uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali kuthetha ukuba kunokwenzeka ufumane itephu yobhedu eqinileyo ekwaziyo ukumelana nokudleka.Ngenxa yesi sizathu, ubhedu sele buyinto ekhethiweyo, ngoko ke igama elithi "impahla yobhedu".
Insimbi engenasici ifanelekile ukuba ufuna into engenakonakala, ahem, ngemali eninzi.Ithanda ukubiza kakhulu kuba intsimbi inzima ukusebenza nayo, kodwa impompo iyaxhathisa kwaye yomelele.Ukuba ufuna okona kulungileyo, khangela i-“316 Stainless Steel Marine Grade”.
Into yokugqibela yokujonga "ingubo" okanye ukugqiba i-faucet.Iindlela ezine zisetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo: i-PVD (i-physical vapour deposition), ukupeyinta, i-electroplating kunye ne-powder coating.
I-PVD ithathwa njengeyona nto igqibekayo kwaye ihlala isetyenziselwa iziphumo zesinyithi njengegolide edumileyo."I-Roca isebenzisa lo mbala kwi-titanium emnyama kunye ne-rose yesixhobo sobhedu segolide," utshilo uNatalie Byrd, umphathi wentengiso yohlobo."I-PVD iyayixhathisa i-corrosion kunye nokwakheka kwesikali, kwaye umphezulu uyaxhathisa kakhulu kwimikrwelo kunye neearhente zokucoca."
I-chrome epholisiweyo yeyesibini kuphela kwi-PVD yokuqina kwaye ibonelela ngokugqitywa okufana nesipili.Ivarnish ayinako ukuhlala ixesha elide, kodwa inokunika indawo ecwebezelayo okanye enzulu.Okokugqibela, umgubo wokugquma udla ngokusetyenziswa kwiimpompo ezinemibala kunye/okanye ezithungwe kwaye zixhathisa ngokufanelekileyo ekutshitshweni.
"Hlala uqinisekisa ukuba uxinzelelo lwamanzi kwikhaya lakho luhambelana nezitya zobhedu ozikhethayo," ucebisa u-Emma Mottram, uMphathi weNtengiso yeBrand eLaufen (uvula kwithebhu entsha)."Ukwenza i-faucet yakho okanye ishawa ihambelane noxinzelelo lwamanzi kuya kubonelela ngeyona ndlela isebenzayo, ngelixa ukungalingani kunokubangela ukuhamba kancinci kwamanzi kunye nobunzima bokugcina iqondo lobushushu elilinganayo neliqhubekayo."
“Ungacela umntu osebenza ngemibhobho yamanzi ukuba akubalele uxinzelelo lwamanzi, okanye uthenge igeyiji yoxinzelelo kwaye uzenzele ngokwakho.”Emva kokuthatha imilinganiselo, jonga ubuncinci beemfuno zoxinzelelo lwamanzi kwimveliso oyikhethileyo.Zombini i-Laufen kunye ne-Roca uchungechunge lwe-cookware yobhedu lufanelekile kwi-50 yoxinzelelo lwamanzi e-psi.
Ukubhekisela, uxinzelelo lwamanzi "oluqhelekileyo" e-United States luphakathi kwe-40 kunye ne-60 psi, okanye umyinge we-50 psi.Ukuba ufumanisa ukuba uxinzelelo lusezantsi, malunga ne-30 psi, unokukhangela i-faucet yobuchwephesha enokusingatha ezi ndleko ziphantsi.Iishawara aziyibonisi ingxaki enjalo, kwaye impompo ingasetyenziselwa ukucinezela.
“Phambi kokuba uchithe imali kwizinto zombane zobhedu, jonga isitya sakho sokuhlambela – mingaphi imingxunya yetephu esinayo?”uchaza uEmma Mottram waseLaufen.' Oku kuya kukunceda unciphise ukhetho lwakho.Umzekelo, ungafakela isixhobo sobhedu esixhonywe eludongeni phezu kwesinki engenamngxuma wetephu.Le hotele okanye igumbi lokuhlambela elitofotofo lidibanisa kakuhle ngamampunge amabini.
Ukuba isitya sakho sokuhlambela sinomngxuma osele ugrunjwe kwangaphambili, uya kufuna itephu eneqhekeza elinye (i-spout ebonelela ngomxube wamanzi ashushu nabandayo).Ukuba unemingxuma emibini egrunjwe kwangaphambili, uya kufuna i-faucet yekholomu., enye nenye yamanzi ashushu.Zilawulwa yi-rotary knob okanye i-lever.
Ukuba unemingxuma emithathu egqojoziweyo, uya kufuna itephu enemingxuma emithathu exuba amanzi ashushu nabandayo ngombhobho omnye.Kuya kuba nolawulo oluhlukeneyo lwamanzi ashushu kunye nabandayo, ngokuchasene ne-monobloc faucet.
Kwindlu yokuhlambela encinci apho yonke into ijonge, abaninzi abaqulunqi baya kuncoma ukuba izixhobo zakho zobhedu zihambelane-ngokukhethekileyo ukusuka kumenzi ukuze uqinisekise ukugqitywa okufanayo.
Oku akusebenzi kwiitephu kuphela, kodwa nakwiintloko zeshawari kunye nolawulo, imibhobho evulelekileyo, iipleyiti ezigungxulwayo, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha nakwiziphalo ezinje ngeereyili zetawuli kunye nezibambi zephepha lezindlu zangasese.
Amagumbi okuhlambela amakhulu anenkululeko engakumbi yokuxuba kunye nokudibanisa ukugqitywa ngaphandle kokuphazamisa okanye ukonakalisa inkangeleko iyonke.ULouise Ashdown uthi: “Nangona ndingazibeki zisondelelene kakhulu izinto zobhedu nezobhedu, ezinye ezimnyama nezimhlophe, zisebenza kakuhle nezinye.
Ukuba uphupha ngendlu yangasese ephefumlelweyo yakudala, mhlawumbi uye wacinga ngokufumana izixhobo zakudala zobhedu.Oku kunokuba lukhetho oluhle, kodwa akufanele uthenge ngokusekelwe kwinkangeleko yodwa.Ngokufanelekileyo, izincedisi ezihlaziyiweyo kufuneka zihlaziywe kwaye zivavanywe ukuqinisekisa ukuba zisebenza ngokufanelekileyo.Ukuba uceba ukufaka itephu yevintage kwimibhobho ekhoyo, qiniseka ukuba ubungakanani bomngxuma buhambelana kwaye kukho indawo eyaneleyo ngaphantsi yofakelo.
Ukudibanisa i-faucet kunye netafile yokugqoka okanye ibhafu ayixhomekanga kuphela kwisitayela, kodwa nakwizinto eziphathekayo.Ukongeza kwimingxuma (okanye ukungabikho kwayo) kwi-ceramics, kufuneka ucinge ngokubeka.
Umlomo kufuneka uphumele phezulu ngokwaneleyo ngaphezulu kwesitya okanye ibhafu ukwenzela ukuba ungabethi emphethweni kwaye ukhukulise itafile okanye umgangatho ongaphantsi.Ngokufanayo, ukuphakama kufuneka kuchanekile.Iphakame kakhulu kwaye itshiza kakhulu.Iphantsi kakhulu kwaye awuyi kukwazi ukubeka izandla zakho phantsi kwayo ukuze uhlambe izandla zakho.
Umtywini wakho okanye unokontraka kufuneka akuncede kule nto, kodwa umgama osemgangathweni weshishini phakathi kweempompo zamanzi ashushu nabandayo umalunga nee-intshi ezisi-7 phakathi kwamaziko emingxuma.Ngokubhekiselele kwisithuba esisuka kwi-spout ye-faucet ukuya kwi-sink, isithuba see-intshi ezisi-7 siya kukunika indawo eninzi yokuhlamba izandla zakho.
"Ngokhetho oluninzi kwimarike, ukukhetha itephu okanye itempe kunokuphakamisa imibuzo, njengokuba ungayithanda uyilo, kodwa ngaba iya kungena isinki yakho?"Le yithermostat, ingaba iphakame kakhulu, ingaba amanzi ahamba atshiza?UMartin Carroll waseDuravit uthe.Yiyo loo nto uDuravit esandula ukuphehlelela iDuravit eyona configurator yomdlalo ogqwesileyo (evula kwithebhu entsha) ukukunceda ufumane indibaniselwano egqibeleleyo yeempompo kunye neesitya zokuhlambela.
Ngoko, njani ukugcina umgangatho omtsha emva kofakelo?Ewe, kufanele kube lula kakhulu - sula nje ngelaphu elithambileyo, amanzi ashushu, kunye nolwelo lokuhlamba izitya emva kokusetyenziswa.Kuya kufuneka uphephe izicoci ezirhabaxa njengoko zinokwenza buthuntu, zingcolise okanye zenze isiphelo sematte kwiimpompo ezininzi.
“Izigqibo zethu ezimnyama ezimnyama kunye netitanium zobhedu zinesitayile kwaye kulula ukuzigcina,” utshilo uNatalie Bird waseRoca."Akusayi kubakho smudges yeminwe okanye umbala kwizixhobo zobhedu - nje ukuhlamba ngokukhawuleza ngesepha namanzi."
Into ephambili kukuphepha ukubunjwa kwesikali se-lime, njengoko isikali akunzima nje ukususa ebusweni bomxube, kodwa sinokulimaza isakhiwo sayo sangaphakathi.Ukuba uhlala kwindawo enamanzi aqinileyo, cinga ukuthenga isithambiso samanzi ukuphepha ukwakheka kwesikali.
Uninzi lwethu luwathatha lula amanzi etephini emakhayeni ethu.Kodwa ukulahlwa kwayo kunye nokufudumeza kufuna amandla axabisekileyo kunye nezixhobo, ngoko ke ukuba uyayikhathalela indalo, kufuneka usebenzise izixhobo zokuhlambela ezigcina amanzi kancinci kangangoko.
“Sonke kufuneka senze indima yethu ukonga amanzi,” utshilo uNatalie Bird, umphathi wentengiso yohlobo lweRoca."Khetha izixhobo zokuhlambela zobhedu ezinezithinteli zokuqukuqela ukukhawulela umyinge wamanzi aqukuqelayo kumpompo wakho."
“I-Roca ikwaphuhlise inkqubo yokuqalisa ebandayo kwisiphekepheke sayo sobhedu.Oku kuthetha ukuba xa itephu ivuliwe, amanzi abanda ngokuzenzekelayo.Emva koko umqheba kufuneka uguqulwe ngokuthe ngcembe ukwazisa amanzi ashushu.Kuphela ngeli nqanaba apho i-oven iqala khona, inqanda ukusebenza ngokungeyomfuneko kwaye inokonga kwiibhili ezisetyenziswayo.
Isenokungabi yinto yokuqala oyijongayo xa uthengela iimveliso zobhedu, kodwa sicinga ukuba yindlela elula yokwenza eyakho indawo yokusingqongileyo ngaphandle kwempembelelo encinci okanye engenazo kwaphela kwindlela yakho yokuphila.
