②The valve core is the heart of the faucet, and the ceramic valve core is the best valve core;
③The 28-micron-thick plating layer has a tight structure, uniform plating layer, bright color, and it can remain as bright as new after long-term use.
Application: places schools, hospitals, hotels, airports, stations, and other public places.
Plastic faucet
Material: generally made of PVC, ABS, PP, and other materials as raw materials through mass production of molds.
Advantages: rich in shapes and colors, excellent chemical properties and electrical insulation properties, good heat resistance, no deformation, not easy to scratch, non-toxic and tasteless, environmentally friendly and healthy, low water absorption, corrosion resistance, simple installation, and durable.
Disadvantages: not strong, short life span.
Purchase:
① I suggest not to buy products that are too cheap, but to make comparisons and choose products with moderate bids and higher cost performance;

Purchase:
①The surface of high-quality all-copper faucets will have exquisite craftsmanship, and they usually have to be polished and electroplated, so the surface looks bright and shiny;
②Carefully observe whether the cross-section interface of the faucet is made of copper material;
③High-quality faucet valve core is generally made of ceramic material, which has good sealing performance and wears resistance.
Applicable places: high-end hotel or retro-decorated family
