tweegreepkranen

Tweegreepkranen are a type of faucet characterized by having two separate handles, one for hot water and one for cold water. These handles are typically positioned on either side of the spout, allowing the user to control the flow and temperature of the water independently. By adjusting the position of each handle, a user can achieve the desired water temperature and flow rate. This design contrasts with single-lever mixers, which use a single handle to control both flow and temperature simultaneously.

Historically, tweegreepkranen were a common design in kitchens and bathrooms before the widespread adoption of single-lever mixers. They are known for their durability and simplicity of operation. Maintenance is often straightforward, as the internal components, such as washers or ceramic discs, can usually be replaced individually if they wear out.

While less prevalent in modern installations, tweegreepkranen remain popular in certain styles of interior design, particularly in traditional or vintage-themed bathrooms and kitchens. Their classic aesthetic is often appreciated, and they continue to be manufactured by various plumbing fixture companies. The operation requires a bit more dexterity than a single-lever tap, as two distinct movements are needed to adjust the water.
