At first there is a layer of nickel, and then - a layer of chromium.All knobs mixers, as a rule, are made of ABC plastic. This material is quite durable, it is, for example, used in the manufacture of automotive bumpers. Plastic surfaces are coated in four layers. The first layer is nickel, then copper goes, then nickel again and chrome is the surface ball.

Pressure elements of the mixer are made exclusively from non-galvanized brass. In addition, the combination of plastic and composite are quite comfortable, especially when it comes to faucets for bath and shower.
