Choosing the right taps and accessories

It all starts at the beginning: you're planning to install or renovate a bathroom, and for that, you need faucets. Often, you go to a store to explore the style and choose a beautiful faucet by eye. But what if your faucet could be both stylish and durable? The warranty period says something about the quality and reliability of your faucet or bathroom accessories. Quality is an aspect where Meir certainly excels, and that's why they offer a lifetime warranty on Meir faucets and accessories. What does a lifetime warranty on faucets and accessories mean?

What does Mastello's Meir lifetime warranty entail?

First of all, the lifetime warranty covers:

• the coating,
• finishing,
• colour of the taps and accessories.

Any manufacturing or material defects are not covered by this lifetime warranty, but by a 10-year warranty for manufacturing and material defects. A long warranty is good, but what should you do if your faucet or accessory develops a defect?

If there's something wrong with your product, please contact us. We'll work with you to find a suitable solution. The solution depends entirely on your situation, but you could consider replacing a part, the entire faucet, or the internals. Basically, everything needed to have a properly functioning faucet that meets quality standards. It's important to know that the lifetime warranty doesn't cover normal wear and tear or damage due to improper use. A lifetime warranty is certainly quite long, but what makes Meir able to offer this?

How can Mastello Meir offer a lifetime guarantee?

Meir offers a lifetime warranty by working exclusively with the highest quality materials and techniques. To give you a good idea of ​​this, we'll zoom in on the most popular finishing techniques and the five current Meir faucet colors:

• rose gold
• black,
• chrome,
• copper,
• gun metal.

Each color has a different product finish. This is done to make the color look as beautiful as possible and to maintain its longevity.

Most popular finishing techniques for taps

Before we can discuss the specific finishes of the various Meir faucet colors, it's important to understand the most common finishing techniques for faucets and accessories in general. The most common techniques are powder coating, galvanization, and PVD coating. Below, we briefly explain the differences.

Powder coating

Let's start with the most well-known technique: powder coating. Powder coating is a type of coating applied to the faucet in the form of a dry powder. It requires no solvent to keep the binder and filler components in a liquid suspension. The finish is applied electrostatically and then cured under high temperatures. Powder coating is more susceptible to wear than galvanization, which will be discussed later. Small scratches will become visible much more quickly. Furthermore, small bumps are often visible on powder-coated faucets, while galvanization provides a smooth, sleek finish. A major disadvantage of powder coating is that if you scratch a powder-coated faucet, the coating is guaranteed to flake off over time. This means that products with a powder-coated finish often come with a limited warranty. For these reasons, Meir products are not powder coated.

Galvanized

Galvanization is a process that uses electricity to dissolve and shape metal. The faucets are immersed in a dye bath under current, causing the color to adhere to the product. This makes the faucets extremely durable and colorfast. Compared to powder-coated faucets, galvanization adheres much better to the material. If you get a scratch on a galvanized faucet, it will remain, but the rest of the faucet remains intact and the coating will not flake off. Because of the many advantages of this technique, many Meir faucets and accessories are finished with a galvanized finish.

PVD coating

PVD coating on faucets is relatively new, but more and more brands are offering PVD faucets. This is due to the many advantages it offers. But what does PVD actually stand for? PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition and is an advanced technique used in faucet production. This technique vaporizes a thin coating under vacuum and deposits it on the surface of the faucet. This gives the faucet the desired color and makes it very durable thanks to the top layer. The top layer also makes the faucets scratch-resistant. PVD is more durable than other coatings because lower temperatures are required to apply the coating when using a vacuum. This method also uses less energy when coating the faucets, making PVD a more sustainable technique. Meir offers several faucets with a PVD coating.

The finishing of the colors

Now that you're familiar with the different product finishes, we'd like to introduce you to the various colors and their corresponding finishes. We'll also take a brief, inspirational trip to other bathroom products you can use to style your faucets beautifully, by color.

Black taps and accessories:

In the plumbing world, you often hear that the coating on black faucets peels off. This is because some other brands use a powder coating for their black faucets. A powder coating can peel and flake off over time. With Meir's black faucets , you won't have this problem, because they are matte galvanized. A black Meir faucet complements beige bathroom furniture , an acrylic bath , and a solid-surface sink perfectly.

Rose gold taps and accessories:

The rose gold faucets are also galvanized, which ensures that the faucets retain their unique rose color beautifully. However, the galvanized finish differs from the black faucets, which use a matte galvanized finish. Rose gold faucets have a brushed galvanized finish, creating a subtle brushing effect in the color. Furthermore, the rose gold faucets have a special anti-fingerprint coating that prevents fingerprints from sticking to your faucet. If you want to create a pink bathroom look, these rose gold faucets can be beautifully combined with a transparent pink bathtub , pink vanity , a concrete sink , and a large, illuminated mirror .

Chrome taps and accessories:

Meir's chrome faucets and accessories are galvanized and polished. This creates a beautiful chrome finish that retains its color well thanks to the special galvanized finish. If you want to create a balanced Scandinavian bathroom, you can combine these faucets with a wooden vanity , a solid-surface basin , an acrylic bath , and a mirror with LED lighting.

Copper taps and accessories:

People often call these faucets gold-colored, but at Mastello, we call them copper-colored. This is because these copper faucets used to be slightly darker in color due to the galvanized and brushed finish. That has now changed, however, as the copper faucets have been updated to a PVD, non-brushed version. This makes the faucets slightly lighter in color than a brushed galvanized version. Copper faucets can be perfectly combined with green bathroom furniture , a green sink , and copper accessories .

Gun metal taps and accessories:

Gun metal faucets and accessories have been added to the range quite recently, and therefore feature a brushed PVD finish. This gives the faucets a unique and robust look. The gun metal faucets complement various bathroom styles and contribute to the overall design. Our personal favorite is to combine the gun metal faucets with a cappuccino vanity , a marble sink , and a rectangular mirror with LED lighting.
