Vidima bathroom faucets are manufactured in Bulgaria. But they are not inferior to similar products from leading Western European manufacturers. It's time to figure out what they are, what assortment the company represents, and how to choose a good model correctly.

Advantages and disadvantages

Vidima bathroom faucets are supplied from Bulgaria. This brand is in great demand.

The corporate policy implies the use of first-class sanitary brass.

Users note a pleasant appearance and a comfortable price. The reviews note that Vidima cranes can work for at least 10-15 years.

A small amount of tin is added to the brass. Therefore, the mixers work very stably in all conditions. Electroplated coating provides a pleasant appearance. The durability of the applied coating is guaranteed by adherence to the technology.

Other positive properties:

  • corrosion resistance;

  • ease of use;

  • resistance to chemically active cleaning agents;

  • minimum requirements for care;

  • long-term official guarantee;

  • the presence in the kit of all the parts that are needed for self-installation.

The disadvantages of Vidima products are:

  • some design simplification;

  • the likelihood of encountering a difficult turning of the mixer;

  • loud work at high pressure;

  • problems finding suitable parts.

How to choose?

For washbasins, mixers with small to medium spouts are usually used. A large "tap" is both inconvenient and looks somehow ridiculous at times. Most often, the device is mounted directly on the sink. Therefore, it is worth checking that there is no need to use adapters there.

For your information: when the sink-bowl is installed, the mixer is placed next to it or built into the wall, directing the stream of water strictly into the sink.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to keep the water in the bowl for a while. Then mixers with a bottom valve will help out. In some sources, it is customary to call it a drain set. The regulation is carried out using a special switch located behind the mixer.

For maximum water saving, it is advised to use non-contact mixing devices with special sensors.

Temperature controllers are also helpful. They will help avoid burns or discomfort. Such devices can be installed on both bathtub and sink taps.

Those who are already accustomed to adjusting the temperature by the mixer itself should continue to choose the thermostat version. Otherwise, there is a great risk of unpleasant consequences.

When choosing a plumbing unit for a bath and a shower at the same time, you should prefer a device with a spout, which has a separate outlet for the shower hose. Most often it is mounted on a wall. The switching unit helps determine where the water will be supplied. Mixers with long spouts help out too. But they are less practical.

For a free-standing or atypical bathtub, floor-mounted mixers are often used. They look like tall, but not too thick, metal columns. This solution looks very impressive. Inside there is all the necessary set of equipment for water supply. And for the most stylish look, you can choose a mixing device with a cascade type spout, or even with additional lighting.

The number of adjusting levers also plays an important role. Double wishbones are slightly cheaper than single-lever systems. In addition, this solution is better suited for a classic bathroom. You just need to understand that you will have to change the gasket more often, which will wear out faster. And fine-tuning the water temperature in a two-valve circuit is difficult, therefore a lot depends on priorities.
