Of Fixtures and Faucets
Choosing from the many types and forms of faucets and other bathroom fixtures you may wonder why some are cheap and some are quite steep. While most of the more affordable ones look quality and seem to have sturdy make-up they are mostly plastic and will break down more easily than other more expensive brands. There are also fixtures that work as part of a whole plumbing system, with proprietary fittings that can use compression ones opposed to those that need washers but they need care when installing for over tightening is a sure way to crack them open.
More expensive fixtures have very strict requirements when it comes to installation and have precise dimensions that must be adhered to or else you end up with an upside down fixture. They also have a lot of precursory preparation needs such as the type of pipes they can be connected to, for mixing metals of different makes tends to initiate the galvanic effect when it reacts with water and the chemicals added to them that causes premature corrosion rendering them useless in no time.
