Chrome or colored faucet?

The tap is a necessary product in our day to day. We all know about their functionality and our dependence on them in our life. But it is also a product that has increased its decorative value and that are important in the decoration of the bathroom or kitchen. The variety of models that we find in the faucet catalogs, with different styles and designs, finishes, measurements, etc. But now the taps stand out the most is their color, and this is what we are going to discuss in this post.

Although we do not have concrete statistics, the experience in our tile store and in our online bathroom store does not say that at least 25% of purchases already correspond to colored taps. The faucet factories have completed their collections with black taps and white taps. This is the case, for example, of Imex, a national manufacturer that is very competitive in terms of the number of designs, its quality, but also its price. An example of colored taps from Imex is the Denmark collection, which offers a variety of bathroom models, shower sets and tall taps, all in chrome, black and white.

But apart from the important value that colored taps have in terms of bathroom and kitchen decoration, they also have some negative aspect. On the one hand, the paint bath is more delicate than the chrome bath of the traditional models, and the paint can chip or chip if it receives a strong blow. In addition, black taps, like any dark-colored accessory, have the handicap of water lime in many cities.

Finally another aspect to take into account is that the factories do not guarantee that the tones are exactly the same between different taps. This means that if we buy a complete set of white taps it is possible that there is a small difference between them.

We believe that these are characteristics that the consumer should know and value before deciding to buy a colored or chrome faucet.
