Have you decided to update the interior of your bathroom orkitchen, but don't want to bother with repairs? Then replace old plumbing with the latest innovative developments and "refresh" your home, making it even more comfortable and high-tech. Sooner or later, we have to do repairs, replace the old with the new and try to keep up with the new technologies that appear on the market. Don't be afraid of new products - it's better to study and apply them. Today we will look at five impressive innovations in plumbing design and, perhaps, at least one of them will soon decorate your home.
1. Smart plumbing
Touch shower panels seem to be no longer a thingare considered an innovation, but it depends on how you look at it. There were craftsmen who, in addition to the standard functions of lighting, telephone, music and hydromassage menu, added a new set of functions. For example, the Spanish designer Marco Antonio Roman (Marco Antonio Esquiro San Roman) created a shower concept that automatically turns on above your head, and if you move away from the water jets, they seem to fade. But as soon as you get closer again, the pressure returns with the same force and temperature. By the way, the water temperature is set by the user and remains unchanged throughout the shower procedure. The ability to control the water, connect a smartphone, as well as provide news or a weather forecast on a large touch screen will be a pleasant addition to this promising project. There is a huge number of other "smart" plumbing: faucets with touch control, self-cleaning toilets, electronic digital systems for showers, with which you can set the desired temperature and control the supply of water and electricity.
2. Creative mixers
Mixers also keep up with fashion.Today, saving water is a pressing issue for environmentalists around the world, so in addition to a lot of unusual shapes made of materials, there are also those that help reduce water consumption. This is achieved by installing temperature sensors, a pressure regulator and artificially increasing the pressure. Designer Philippe Starck has just created a very harmonious and "natural" Axor Starck V mixer, which allows you to observe the flow of water as it happens in nature.
3. Shells made from organic materials
Ceramic and porcelain sinks were, are and areremain the market leaders. But if earlier it was not only impossible to compete with them, but simply useless, now the situation is starting to change dramatically. Eco-friendly materials that allow you to establish a closer connection with nature are becoming a trend. Sinks made of mahogany, walnut, teak, as well as concrete and shell rock are becoming increasingly popular. But if you still want to use time-tested ceramics, you can install one of the many models that have already been released that imitate wood.
4. Metallic finishes in sinks and faucets
At all times, when finishing plumbing, it is oftenused metal finishing. It doesn't matter whether these elements are practical or purely decorative - they bring nobility, severity and elegance to the bathroom interior. And in some styles, for example, Mediterranean or Provence, they are simply irreplaceable.
5. Futuristic shower elements
Flat, luxury and opaque showerselements will be a wonderful decoration for any bathroom. With each new exhibition of sanitary ware, the consumer receives more and more curious specimens, as if they came out of science fiction films. Along with an authentic appearance, such designs also have useful functions (the same water saving). Thanks to the special design of shower heads, water consumption with the same pressure can be reduced by up to 50 percent.
