Properly selected bathroom faucets are the basis for a bathroom refined in every detail, functional and distinctive. There are various types, patterns and colors of bathroom fittings to choose from. One of the most interesting options is a black bathroom faucet. Black bathroom faucets allow you to achieve a super fashionable, elegant, individual interior design that stands out against the background of standard arrangements with white and chrome in the main roles. In this article, we answer the most frequently asked questions from our customers about black shower taps (and more).

Are black bathroom faucets practical?
Most of our clients' dilemmas concern practical issues. They ask whether a black shower tap can be easily kept clean and whether its surface is resistant to damage. We answer - it is not the color that really determines the functionality of a given battery, but the quality of its workmanship. A black shower faucet can be as durable, economical and easy to clean as the chrome variant, which has been dominating Polish bathrooms for years.
If you want comfortable, long-term use of black fittings, try to choose faucets made of solid materials and components, necessarily enriched with special coatings that prevent dirt and scale from depositing on the surface. Be sure to check the warranty period provided by the manufacturer for the coating and components.
What coating should a black shower faucet have?
A black shower faucet may owe its color to various technologies and materials. The most popular methods used by fittings manufacturers include: varnishing, painting, galvanizing, applying a ceramic coating and the use of black stainless steel in the production process. The last solution is considered the most durable. However, painted black shower faucets are usually more susceptible to abrasion. In addition, you should pay attention to the type and quality of the faucet finish.
The surface should be resistant to fingerprints, hard to the touch and smooth - also in the matte version. Fittings manufacturers are increasingly offering additional protective coatings for their faucets, e.g. a hydrophobic layer that prevents dirt and a layer that protects against damage and fading. It is worth reading the technical data of products in the store carefully.
How to properly care for black bathroom faucets?
Contrary to appearances, a black shower faucet (or any other one) is not more difficult to keep clean than, for example, a chrome model. Many users consider black to be even a more practical option than chrome. Stains can appear on any faucet, so if you want to make your life as easy as possible, invest in a solid faucet with coatings that prevent dirt and scale, and wipe the surface dry with a soft cloth, e.g. microfiber, after each use.
This simple habit will effectively solve the problem of stains and deposits. Use only heavy-duty detergents to remove any dirt - never abrasives or aggressive chemicals, as you may irreversibly damage the finish. Do not under any circumstances attempt to scrub the battery! If you are buying a shower or bathtub set with a shower head and/or rain shower, check whether the manufacturer has equipped the elements with a system that prevents scale and dirt from accumulating.
What should you consider when choosing a black bathroom faucet?
When choosing a black bathroom faucet, the priority is, of course, the quality of workmanship and finishing. There should be a ceramic head inside - extremely durable and resistant to water. An important element of the faucet is the aerator. It is located at the end of the spout and is responsible for aerating the flowing water, which translates into economical water consumption. Black bathroom faucets with a thermostat are an extremely practical and comfortable solution.
The thermostat ensures that water immediately flows from the faucet at the optimal, previously set temperature. For most customers, the design of black fittings is also important. They want the faucet to blend well with the floor and wall tiles, sanitary ceramics, furniture and overall decor. You can choose from black taps with simple, geometric lines, dedicated to modern bathrooms, as well as more ornate and fanciful designs - ideal, for example, for retro-style interiors.
