What is Chrome Tapware?
Chrome tapware – a luminary in the world of kitchen and bathroom fittings – stands out with its distinctive mirror-like finish and unrivalled endurance.
But what exactly gives chrome its signature allure?
Material & Composition
At the heart of every piece of chrome tapware lies a core of robust material, such as brass or high-quality stainless steel. The material holds the initial strength and form of the tap, resting beneath an electroplated layer of chromium and bonding securely to the metal to create a protective shield for exceptional resistance to corrosion and degradation.
Manufacturing Process
Creating chrome tapware requires blending precision engineering and keen artistry. The base material is meticulously moulded into the desired tap shape before undergoing the finishing process. Depending on the manufacturer the coating or plating process could be Electroplating, Chroming, or Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). A chrome finish is typically achieved by Electroplating where it is submerged in a chromic acid solution, and an electric current is passed through, causing the chromium to bond to the tap's surface
Multiple rounds of quality checks ensure that the finished product gleams with perfection and functions flawlessly.
Colour & Finish
Whether it's chrome bathroom tapware or kitchen tapware, their unmistakable allure lies in a radiant, piercing silver finish. Enjoy a reflective sheen that leaves your new chrome taps into a focal point of the space, capturing and playing with ambient light, and ultimately offering a unique blend of brilliance and clarity for a modern, timeless aesthetic.
Endurance & Longevity
Thanks to its coating, chrome kitchen and bathroom tapware boast remarkable resistance against wear, tarnishing, and corrosion, despite frequent use and exposure to moisture.
