More Basic Information About Cucina Faucets

The kitchen faucet is the most used fixture in the home, which makes it important to choose the right one. However, the many different variables you need to pay attention to - price, appearance, longevity, type and many others - can make it difficult to make the correct decision. Cucina tries to take the worry out of this decision in a number of ways - by offering a large range of styles, and by starting each faucet with a cast brass body which is machined in their factories to close tolerance. Only the highest quality components are used, so long performance is expected, and every faucet from Cucina is individually water tested to make sure that it will arrive in your home ready to work as expected.

The brass content in a Cucina faucet exceeds the industry average. This material is more expensive, but is included in the highest quality faucets for a long life. Milling is done by computer controlled machines that adhere closely to Cucina's specification, allowing each machined part to be exactly the same as all the others. The heart of each faucet includes a ceramic cartridge. This is chosen instead of cheaper and older washer technology since washers wear over time, allowing the faucet to drip. Ceramic cartridges can prevent dripping in older faucets.

All faucets, including hand sprayers and accessories, are made in the same materials and to the same tolerances. The finishes that go on last come in a range of options, including antique copper, polished brass, chrome and nickel, antiqued (San Marco) bronze, and satin nickel. Delicate, easy to scratch finishes such as nickel and brass, are treated with an additional process called PVD. This stands for physical vapor deposition, and protects against fading and scratching. This coating will not peel or scratch, even under heavy use, and it prevents the underlying metal from tarnishing. Braided stainless steel water connectors are used below the counter in all faucets.

Cucina faucets are far from the cheapest on the market, but they're a wise choice for people who want to make certain that they're buying fixtures that will really last. A lot of different options are available, and buyers know that these faucets are being made from high quality materials using the best processes, so they're sure to remain functional and effective for many years to come.
