The common name for a water valve is a faucet, which is a switch we usually use to control the flow of water. The updating speed of faucets is fast. Previously, they were made of old-fashioned cast iron technology, but now more commonly used are electroplated knob type faucets. Nowadays, most faucets use stainless steel single double temperature single control faucets, kitchen semi-automatic faucets, and other styles. So what are the characteristics of the faucets made of various materials currently in use?

1、Stainless steel faucet

Stainless steel faucets are lead-free, acid and alkali resistant, corrosion-resistant, and do not release harmful substances, and will not pollute the source of water. The surface of the stainless steel faucet does not require electroplating, only polishing can reveal its stainless steel color.

2、Copper faucet

The pure copper faucet is refined with all copper and treated with chrome plating on the surface, with high glossiness and high wear and corrosion resistance. The quality is mainly distinguished by its own copper content and process.

3、Plastic faucet

Plastic faucets have rich colors and are produced in large quantities using molds. Compared to other materials, they are safer to use and are made of ABS plastic for production and processing. But it is not sturdy and has a short lifespan.

4、Alloy faucet

The price of alloy faucets is much lower compared to all copper faucets, and this type of faucet is easier to produce on a large scale. A large amount of zinc alloy is used, and zinc alloy faucets are harmful to the human body and are not durable.

5、Ceramic faucet

Compared with other faucets, ceramic faucets are non rusting, non oxidizing, and not easily worn. The appearance of ceramic faucets is beautiful and generous, as the shell is also made of ceramic products.
