Stainless Steel
Stainless steel kitchen sink faucets are typically made of 304 or 316 stainless steel. They are heat-resistant, rust-resistant, have a long lifespan, are easy to clean, and won't wear down during washing. If your home uses a water heater, a stainless steel kitchen sink faucet is a good choice. However, stainless steel kitchen sink faucets are relatively expensive, so choose according to your budget.
Copper
Copper kitchen sink faucets are typically made of copper or brass. They have good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and a long lifespan. However, copper kitchen sink faucets are prone to rust, requiring frequent maintenance and cleaning. Furthermore, oxidation occurs when using hot water, affecting water quality. Therefore, when using copper kitchen sink faucets, encourage family members to wash their hands frequently to avoid contaminating the faucet with hand oils and other chemicals.
Zinc Alloy
Zinc alloy kitchen sink faucets usually have a chrome-plated or powder-coated surface, resulting in a smooth finish. However, zinc alloy is relatively fragile, prone to wear and tear, and has a relatively short lifespan. The chrome plating is also prone to peeling, affecting the appearance. Therefore, it is not recommended to use kitchen sink faucets made of zinc alloy.
