Stainless steel kitchen taps are a popular choice in many households and commercial kitchens because of their durability and sleek, modern look. However, they have both advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of stainless steel kitchen taps:

1. Durability: Stainless steel taps are known for their robustness and longevity. They are resistant to corrosion and rust, which means they keep looking good over time.

2. Maintenance: Stainless steel taps are easy to clean and stain-resistant. They are also more resistant to stains and discolouration than many other materials.

3. Aesthetics: Stainless steel taps have a sleek, modern look that suits many different kitchen styles, from industrial to modern and minimalist designs.

4. Hygiene: Stainless steel is a non-porous material, which means that bacteria and viruses do not easily adhere to it.

Disadvantages of stainless steel kitchen taps:

1. Price: While there are variations, stainless steel taps can generally be more expensive than taps made of other materials, such as plastic or certain metals.

2. Water stains: Although stainless steel faucets are resistant to stains and discolouration, they can have water stains and fingerprints that require additional cleaning to make them look shiny and new again.

3. Cold to the touch: Stainless steel tends to feel cold to the touch, which can be uncomfortable for some people, especially in colder climates or during the winter months.

It is important to consider these pros and cons before choosing a stainless steel kitchen tap. This decision should also take into account the style of your kitchen, your budget and your personal preferences.

PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition and this results in a coating that is much stronger than galvanised chrome, for example, and yet shines just as beautifully. Another not insignificant advantage of PVD coatings is that they are relatively environmentally friendly. To apply the coating, a liquid metal is vaporised in a vacuum environment. This means that the process requires less high temperatures. The vaporised metal is then applied to the product in one or more layers. These layers are wafer-thin so that the design of the product is not affected by the top layer.

PVD coatings are not only applied to taps, but to all kinds of metal objects that are used intensively and still require a beautiful colour. Think, for example, of cutlery, door fittings and even watches.

Advantages of PVD:

• solid coating;
• resistant to most cleaning agents;
• does not oxidise;
• shiny, wafer-thin top layer;
• scratch-resistant;
• environmentally friendly.

Disadvantages of PVD:

• it is a bit more expensive;
• the colour options are (for the time being) somewhat more limited.

A stainless steel faucet or sink requires almost the same maintenance as a chrome faucet. A stainless steel faucet is made of 100% solid stainless steel metal, so no coating layer or chrome layer has been applied, so that a stainless steel faucet has a very long life. Moreover, a stainless steel faucet is very hygienic due to the stainless steel material.

We have the following cleaning tips for a stainless steel faucet or stainless steel sink:

Tip 1:
Make sure your bathroom is cleaned weekly and of course also the stainless steel taps. Use a special stainless steel cleaning agent or stainless steel cleaning spray. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as chlorine, acetic acid, anti-limescale, etc.
Use a microfiber cloth to clean the stainless steel taps. Rinse the stainless steel taps well after cleaning so that no cleaning agent remains.

Tip 2:
After showering, we recommend the To dry off stainless steel shower head or stainless steel shower set so that no limescale can form.
  
Tip 3:
Still last of limescale on your stainless steel faucet? Use a microfiber cloth and special stainless steel cleaner based on citric acid. So do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as JIF, chlorine or other aggressive acids. We also advise against the use of scouring pads or abrasives. The use of these can cause scratches on the stainless steel faucets.

Of course, the above cleaning advice also applies to stainless steel kitchen faucets, stainless steel sink faucets, stainless steel shower faucets and stainless steel bath faucets.
