Satin Finished Stainless Steel Alcohol Barrel Spigot Faucet with Visible Window

Q1-What's the difference between chrome plating and stainless steel polishing?
A1-Chrome for High Shine
Chrome faucets get their shiny finish from chrome electroplating over another metal. Chrome is shinier than stainless steel, which is great for aesthetics but more
challenging to keep clean. Water spots and fingerprints are more noticeable on chrome because they contrast more sharply with the shine of the rest of the faucet. Additionally, abrasive kitchen cleaners may mar chrome's finish over time.
-Stainless Steel for Easy Care
Shiny, but less so than chrome, stainless steel faucets are lower-maintenance because they disguise spots and smudges better than chrome. Stainless steel is valued over
chrome for its durability and scratch-resistance. Shoppers will find more stainless-steel faucet options from which to choose, as homeowners who need a faucet but don't have an aesthetic preference frequently opt for stainless because of its low cost.


Q2-Why stainless steel?
A2-Stainless steel is popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms Faucets and showerheads are typically where the decision can boil down to stainless steel.
Stainless steel appliances and objects have been around since the 1930s and continue in popularity as choices for household items, including appliances, sinks, faucets, handles and fixtures. Technically, stainless steel is a finish and not a pure or raw material. Items originate as brass or steel objects, and then they are coated with an electroplating process. The result is an object with a metallic exterior finish, a smooth and shiny surface, and one that is described as "stainless steel."
