ShareMore than just metal: The art of choosing materials for tapware
Material selection is key to ensuring the durability, performance, and sustainability of tapware, yet misconceptions about material quality often lead to suboptimal choices. Differences between stainless steel grades, such as 304 and 316L, play a crucial role in corrosion resistance, maintenance needs, and long-term reliability.
The secret to long-lasting, high-performing tapware lies in choosing the right materials—but not all metals are created equal. Many assume common tapware materials such as steel or brass are one-size-fits-all solutions, only to face unexpected corrosion, fading finishes, and costly replacements. The difference between materials can determine whether tapware endures or deteriorates over time.
More Than Just Metal: The Art of Choosing Materials for Tapware unpacks the key considerations behind tapware material selection, helping designers and specifiers make choices that blend durability, style, and sustainability. This paper provides insights into main factors when assessing tapware materials, from corrosion resistance to environmental impact. We also consider the risks of choosing low-grade materials.
Nero Tapware is redefining luxury by seamlessly integrating high-quality materials, innovative technology, and sustainable practices into its tapware collections. With a strong commitment to durability, Nero prioritises lead-free 316L stainless steel, a marine-grade material known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, strength, and environmental adaptability.
