Obeys the slightest movement
When you use an IKEA kitchen mixer tap, you're saving water thanks to an aerator that reduces flow while maintaining pressure. We didn't invent aerators, but think they are a good example of how we value water. It's one of Earth's most precious resources, yet very little of it is drinkable and even less is accessible. No organism can survive without it either. That's why we want to be good stewards of water at every step, whether in our factories or in your kitchen mixer tap.
Who wouldn’t like kitchen tasks to be easier and more hygienic? TÄMNAREN kitchen mixer tap with sensor functions is a step on the way. You can turn the water on and off with a slight hand movement ― without touching the mixer tap. But what if water starts running every time your hands move by the sink? The solution was quite simple: we placed the sensor on the side. This improved the look of it, too.
What is brass?
Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc and the amounts vary depending on the desired properties. Copper is usually the main material and the more zinc you add results in the brass being harder and stronger, but also results in it being more difficult to shape and less resistant to rust. Brass can be recycled as brass but never into its original metals. At IKEA we use brass for things like knobs, handles, frames and taps.
Obeys the slightest movement
Life in the kitchen often revolves around the sink. It’s where we rinse vegetables, do the washing up and wash our hands. With a kitchen mixer tap with sensor function, kitchen tasks are easier and more hygienic since you can turn the water on and off with a slight hand movement ― without touching the mixer tap. But it's not ideal if water starts running every time your hands move by the sink. How was this solved? We simply placed the sensor on the mixer tap’s side.
