Whether the surface of a metal spigot needs to be sandblasted depends on multiple factors such as functional requirements, aesthetics, and usage environment. The following is a detailed introduction to whether metal spigots need to be sandblasted:
1. Improve surface texture and aesthetics
Fashion matte effect: Matte treatment can give the spigot surface a soft matte texture, which is more compatible with modern minimalist or industrial style home decoration styles.
More stable visual effect: Compared to mirror chrome plated surfaces, frosted surfaces are more low-key and less reflective, making them more suitable for users who pursue stability and luxury.
2. Enhance anti fingerprint and anti stain capabilities
Not easy to leave fingerprints: The frosted surface is not as easy to leave fingerprints and water stains as a mirror, and it still looks clean and tidy after use.
Daily cleaning is more effortless: the frosted surface can effectively hide minor stains and water spots, reducing cleaning frequency.
3. Improve slip resistance
More convenient operation: For handles, switches, and other positions, frosted treatment can increase minimal friction, making it easier to operate when the hands are wet or greasy, enhancing the user experience.
Not easy to slip: especially suitable for damp environments such as kitchens or bathrooms.
4. Improve wear resistance
Good scratch resistance: Matte surfaces are better at hiding small scratches or wear marks than glossy mirrors, making them more durable and long-lasting during long-term use.
Reduce obvious damage: Even if there are scratches, they are not easily noticeable, maintaining the integrity of the appearance.
5. Covering up defects in raw materials
Concealing minor flaws: Some metal materials may have slight scratches or unevenness during processing, and sandblasting can effectively conceal these defects, making the appearance more uniform.
Enhance overall texture: After sandblasting treatment, even ordinary metal materials can present a more advanced visual effect.
6. Choose according to the application scenario
Strong applicability in kitchen/bathroom: Due to easy cleaning and no water marks, frosted spigots are particularly common in kitchens and bathrooms.
High end hotels or commercial venues often choose: places that pursue visual unity and low-key luxury tend to use frosted texture spigots.
