IMEX or TRES What is the best brand of faucets?
Sept. 15, 2022
Imex and Tres are currently the two best faucet brands. Depending on the style of faucet you are looking for and the price you want to spend on the bathroom faucet, one will be more suitable than the other.
Let's go through a bit of their catalogs and product characteristics.< /h5>
IMEX taps
IMEX is a young brand with great growth in recent years. We met her in 2017, and although she had a much smaller catalog than the current one, she already presented very interesting ideas. They knew how to see the shortcomings that the market had at that time and they developed a very competitive product adjusted to what customers demanded.
TRES Taps
TRES is a brand with much more history and well positioned in the market for years. Until IMEX was created, Griferías TRES was one of the few brands with a really interesting catalogue, with a good variety of models and a carefully designed product.
What aspects do they have? What do the two brands have in common?
The main point in common between IMEX and TRES, which makes them stand out from their competition, is the variety of possibilities they offer.
While other brands have been left with catalogs that only contain basic taps with hardly any design, both Grifería IMEX and Grifería TRES have understood that trends have changed and that customers want to compare designs and prices, want to buy colored taps, or perhaps they need a special faucet depending on the circumstances of each home.
That is why they have become the best known faucet brands. THREE has been one for a long time, and IMEX has taken very little time to position itself with a large market share, with its catalog in most bathroom stores.
Differences between TRES and IMEX
The two biggest differences are the price and the composition of the catalogue.
Price
While TRES products have a high price, IMEX has positioned its taps at a medium price, affordable for practically anyone. I'm sure the price difference has a reason beyond the name of the brand itself. He almost always has it.
However, we believe that in this type of product it is not so important to buy a more expensive faucet, if with half the price you have a design faucet that has the same functionality, and we don't know if even the same duration.
You should know something important before buying a faucet....
And is that most of the incidences that the faucet give are due to the chrome or the external paint. And there are few differences between brands of a certain prestige and that meet all quality guarantees. The deterioration of the paint or the chrome of the taps depends rather on their environment. For example, saltpeter from the sea is very aggressive for chrome baths, and oxidizes them in a short time.
On the other hand, humidity also influences the state of the faucets, since a product that dries and remains relatively dry after use has much longer life than a faucet that always has drops of water and lime stains.< br>
While the internal mechanisms, which is why most of the time the prices of the taps are distinguished, do not have such a high percentage of incidents. And if it does, it's usually in a long term in which the faucet is probably already more than amortized.
But, if what you want is to buy a faucet of extreme quality and that has all the spare parts that you look for a few years later, the best thing is to buy a German faucet, such as Hansa or Hansgrohe.
Catalogue
< br>
Their tap catalogs focus on them in two very different ways. Both with a wide variety of models to buy, but each with its own style.
On the one hand, Imex has many different collections, each type of tap (basin, kitchen, shower) is available in 5 colors . With all this, he completes a catalog of about 700 pages.
THREE, however, is not as extensive in modeling. The names of the series are not so different, but each one has countless variants: sizes, colors, built-in, with automatic drain, etc. Much more than IMEX and any other faucet manufacturer.
For example, you can see the Study Exclusive bathroom faucet, which is available in our store in 16 different colours.
Our last recommendation is that if you want to buy a bathroom or kitchen faucet, look in the TRES and IMEX faucet catalogs. You can always find something you like better, or that suits you better, somewhere else. But what is certain is that with these two brands you will already have at least 80% chances covered. And if you don't know where to start looking, either of these two brands is a good place to start.
