Frequently Asked Questions — Italian faucets & taps for bath and kitchen
What distinguishes your Italian faucets for luxury bathrooms and kitchens?
They are engineered in Italy with disciplined geometry, precise tolerances and tactile controls. Stainless-steel bodies or low-lead brass, ceramic cartridges and PVD finishes deliver a quiet, architectural presence that pairs naturally with stone, timber and plaster.
Are your taps built for US & Canadian codes and connections?
Yes. We supply models compatible with North-American rough-ins and threads, with options listed to harmonized US/CA plumbing standards. Lead-content compliance and documentation are provided for permit and inspection.
Stainless steel vs brass: when should I specify each?
Marine-grade stainless (often AISI 316) excels in coastal or humid environments and offers a monolithic, unplated finish. Premium brass is ideal for complex forms and heritage silhouettes. Both are available with high-durability surface treatments.
How durable are your finishes—and how do they age?
PVD and advanced lacquers resist abrasion and fingerprints while preserving color depth. Uncoated stainless ages with a subtle sheen, while living finishes can develop a soft patina. We include care guidance to maintain the intended look.
Can I meet low-flow or WaterSense targets without a thin, “stingy” stream?
Yes. We offer calibrated aerators and laminar devices tuned to low-flow specifications while preserving a dense, quiet column of water. Field-changeable regulators allow you to adapt performance to local requirements.
Spout reach and height: how do I avoid splash with vessel or undermount basins?
Match spout reach to basin geometry: aim the outlet toward the drain centerline and keep fall height disciplined. For tall vessels, prefer laminar outlets; for wide undermounts, balanced aeration minimizes rebound and noise.
Thermostatic vs pressure-balance: which should I specify?
Thermostatic mixers hold temperature precisely and suit multi-outlet showers or tub fillers; pressure-balance valves are streamlined and code-friendly for single-outlet setups. We can coordinate trims across both technologies for a unified look.
Do your kitchen faucets support professional features?
Yes—pull-down or pull-out sprays with magnetic docking, 360° swivels, dual-mode aerated/needle sprays and optional filtered-water or instant-hot compatibility. Finishes and knurling can be matched to appliance and hardware palettes.
Installation on thick stone or wall-mount setups—any constraints?
For extra-thick countertops we offer extended shanks and reinforcement plates. Wall-mount sets ship with rough-in boxes sized for typical cavity depths, with adjustable centers and service access for future maintenance.
How do the cartridges and internal parts handle hard water?
Ceramic discs and serviceable aerators are designed for mineral-rich water; access is straightforward for periodic cleaning. We maintain spare parts and trim availability in North America for long-term serviceability.
Can I coordinate metals and finishes across bath and kitchen without visual noise?
Yes. Collections span deck-, wall- and floor-mounted pieces with shared profiles and finish libraries (stainless, polished or brushed metals, warm bronzes). This allows consistent sightlines from powder room to chef’s kitchen.
Sustainability and material health—what should I know?
Stainless steel is fully recyclable; low-lead alloys and responsible finishing reduce emissions. Flow-optimized outlets cut water use while preserving the tactile experience that clients expect in luxury projects.
What do you need from us to quote a complete faucet package?
Room plans and elevations, valve technology (thermostatic or pressure-balance), mounting type (deck, wall, floor), hole patterns, deck thickness, target flow category, finish schedule, any compliance targets, delivery constraints and budget band. With this, we confirm models, trims, lead times and logistics.
