Recently, unusual mixers have appeared on the pages of construction Internet portals, as well as on the shelves of sanitary ware shops. What is this curiosity - a black kitchen faucet?

They are presented both in the luxury-class lines and in the more affordable economy-class version.

The modern black faucet looks unusual and stylish

These innovations look very stylish and sophisticated, but even those made at the factories of famous brands cause certain concerns about their appropriate use in everyday life, as well as in terms of quality materials. Let's take a closer look.

The uniqueness of black mixers

The black color of the faucets we are considering is its only unique side. All other technical characteristics and features are not much different from the "metallized brothers". The structure is fully preserved.

Preparation method

The basis for the manufacture of black faucets is the application of multi-layer black enamel on a brass or stainless steel base. This procedure is carried out using electrolysis in several stages. The finish coat is due to the highest strength, as well as excellent resistance to mechanical damage.

I would like to note that good quality black kitchen mixers cannot be cheap a priori.

This is due to the fact that a certain technology is used during manufacturing, which requires:

• use of high quality materials;
• special equipment;
• special conditions for organizing the production process.

Advice!
Before purchasing such a plumbing fixture, you should not only read the certification documents, but also look at the manufacturers' website to be sure that the model you like is in fact them issued.
