Bathroom and kitchen faucets play a key role in interior design, serving both functional and decorative purposes. While they may seem like purely practical elements, they often complete the design and can give neutral interiors a unique character.

Modern interiors typically favor minimalist, geometric forms that harmonize with the clean lines of furniture and appliances. In contrast, classic or rustic arrangements benefit from more ornate faucets that complement vintage or retro accents.

The right faucet finish—from matte and chrome to copper or gold—allows for seamless coordination with different color palettes and materials used in the rest of the interior.

Thanks to a wide range of surface finishing techniques, the Laveo brand offers customers diverse stylistic options that make it easy to personalize any space. Explore all the possibilities and find the one that suits your needs perfectly.

Types of faucet finishes offered by Laveo:

• Chrome – The most popular, classic finish with a high-gloss look and excellent corrosion resistance. Chrome coating is achieved through electroplating, a process that deposits a thin metallic layer on the product via electrolysis. The product is immersed in a metal salt solution, and an electric current causes the metal to settle on the surface. The same method is used to create nickel finishes, which can also appear in colors like black or graphite. Faucets with chrome or nickel finishes, such as Rotaro, are a perfect match for modern, minimalist interiors.
  
  
• Powder-coated surfaces – Available in matte black or matte white. Powder coating ensures full, even coverage and a smooth yet durable protective layer resistant to scratches—ideal for industrial or loft-style interiors. This process involves applying specialized powder paint (based on epoxy or polymer resins) using electrostatic or electrokinetic spray. The paint adheres to the surface through electrostatic forces and is then cured at 140–200°C. This method allows for a 60–120 micron coating—equivalent to about three layers of conventional paint—and is one of the most efficient and aesthetic ways to finish metal surfaces.

• Spray-painted using conventional methods – Available in glossy white and granite-effect colors such as beige or gray. Paint is sprayed using compressed air at low pressure, forming an aerosol that settles on the surface. Its versatility makes this finish both practical and visually appealing, suitable for classic and modern interiors alike.
  
• Brushed stainless-steel finish – Also known as inox, this surface is resistant to scratches and fingerprints. The brushing technique involves literally brushing the metal with wire or abrasive pads, creating distinctive lines or “grain.” This results in a textured surface that highlights the raw yet refined nature of the material.

PVD coating – An innovative method for applying color that ensures exceptionally durable finishes in gold, copper, or black tones. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) involves depositing a thin layer of metal through evaporation and condensation in vacuum-sealed chambers. This technique offers outstanding resistance to wear and corrosion, and it’s known for its luxurious appearance. PVD is widely used in jewelry making as the most advanced method of gold plating.



How to care for your faucet's finish:

• Daily cleaning: Use water with mild dish soap to remove dirt and limescale. For tougher stains, a 1:1 solution of water and vinegar or Laveo’s dedicated cleaner (OKT_050T) can be used. Mild dish soap is recommended as it won’t damage the delicate faucet surface.

• Maintenance: Regularly clean the aerator, angle valves with filters, and check for leaks or loose hose connections. These actions should be performed at least twice a year to maintain optimal faucet functionality.

• Protection from chemicals: Avoid substances containing chlorine or potassium hypochlorite, which can damage the nickel-chrome surface. Preventing exposure to these chemicals is essential to preserving the finish’s durability and appearance.
