Hello everyone,

Does anyone happen to have experience with kitchen faucets in granite finish and could share their insights? Any notable advantages or disadvantages compared to chrome faucets? Cleaning, etc. I mean faucets designed to match granite composite sinks (e.g., Blanco Silgranit). Do these faucets only have the look of the matching sinks, or are they also coated with the granite composite material? Thank you very much.

The ones I know (though that was a few years ago) were basically covered with a film that looked like this. After several years and intensive use, it started to peel off in areas with friction. I would always prefer a good chrome (matte/glossy) fitting.

However, it might be that things have improved over the years and that material lasts better today (10 years later).

We have this in our secondary kitchen – the faucet is now 6 years old and still looks very good. It’s from Blanco – but in the main kitchen we now have a chrome/stainless steel one, which somehow looks better.

How often is your secondary kitchen used?
