Pricing policy is focused on the low and medium price segment. Decent quality and low price provide stable demand in the countries of Western and Eastern Europe.

The history of Ideal Standart International began in 1934 with a small tin workshop, which eventually grew into a Vidima factory. In the 90s, mixers and taps were created in its workshops, which became products of a well-known European brand.

Since 1992, the company became part of the transnational conglomerate American Standard Companies. In 2007, the Bulgarian plumbing becomes an independent direction of the concern and the launch of world-class products under the Vidima brand at Ideal Standard enterprises begins.

Today Ideal Standard takes leading positions in Europe in terms of equipment and applied technologies. Its sanitary ware products are also known under the trademarks Ceramica Dolomite, Jado, Armitage Shanks. But the sales leader is still Vidima.Every year more than 5 million products of this brand for the kitchen and bath come off the assembly line.

Engineering solutions, design, as well as the production of ceramic cartridges, aerators and thermal sensors occur in Germany. The assembly of finished products is in Bulgaria, where three factories in Sevlievo work at once on Vidima. The logistics center of the concern is also located there.

2. two-valve - crane box.

Ceramic cartridges of a new generation - 28/35/40/47 mm are used in the mixers.

CLICK and HWTC - these systems are responsible for the safe, fast and effortless adjustment of Vidima mixers. Saving time to choose the optimal position of the lever for a comfortable temperature, can significantly reduce the cost of water consumption. In addition, the systems ensure the safety of operation of the mixer.

From single-lever models for the kitchen, Vidima offers a whole collection of taps with different design solutions.

Installation - desktop, that is installed directly on the surface of the sink or countertop. The kitchen mixer with a lever located in the side of the mixer housing is considered to be the most convenient to use.

The high spout with a smooth curved line is convenient for washing different types of dishes and is consistent with the standard types of one-bowl sink designs. Models from the Storm, Seva series, especially the Seva New and Seva Mix, are ideally suited for washing large pans.

Two-valve mixer systems today are less in demand in the kitchen.They are preferred, as a rule, by fans of retro, classic or Provence style. Models can be found in the series Agat, Retro, Element, Select.

An extensive collection of this faucet system for installation in the bathroom, bidet or sink.

According to consumers in the operation of valve cartridge crankcase boxes are more resistant to the effects of hard water than the lever.

Flywheels are used in three types:

1. cruciform - models Romance and Retro;
2. triangular - Delta;
3. T-shaped - found in the series of Ceva Duo.

The shower wall accessories include: an additional watering can with a mode regulator and two spouts of different lengths. Options –32/35/40 cm. To the set of retro-models Romance add a long spout and original stylish pens.

The large length of the faucet and its wide angle of rotation make it possible to use the faucet to serve the bathroom and the sink. In the two-valve model of the Retro working sector - 180 degrees, which exceeds the standard capabilities of economy mixers from other manufacturers. Their limit of rotation is from 120 to 160 degrees. Among the shortcomings of this model is a weak divertor: the mechanism for redirecting the flow of water is unstable.

In the designs of other series, this disadvantage is eliminated, an improved automatic system is installed.

Vidima for a bathroom are made vertical, on a wall, and horizontal installation. All faucets during installation must exactly match the parameters of the sink or work surface on which they can be mounted.

The fastening of a single-lever mixer with a short gander is allowed on the surface of the cast-iron bath; only the buyer will have to take care of the hole on his own. The developers planned to use for this purpose only acrylic bowls of angular or rectangular shape with a wide board.

The most popular - wall options using flexible liner. Example: Agate, - Seva-M, Icarus and Sirius.

Vidima opened a network for servicing his vehicles in many cities of Russia. However, the designs are so simple that you can independently disassemble and assemble the mixers. The company produces spare parts for repairs that allow you to easily replace the necessary parts: shower heads, cartridges, hoses, aerators.
