Finishes

Countless finishes

When choosing materials for taps and faucets, it is essential to pick solutions that combine style, elegance and functionality.
Our products are designed to seamlessly fit in with bathrooms’ and kitchens’ furniture while ensuring a high resistance to wear.

TWO SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS

316 stainless steel
316 stainless steel offers high performances in all conditions of use. Its characteristics make it inert to the chemicals used for cleaning, and resistant to corrosion caused by air and
water. Taps featuring a 316 steel finish are particularly suitable for everyday environments that involve intense use, as well as for exteriors exposed to rainfall and pollution.

White bronze
Our range of finishes includes a white bronze treatment: a first for taps. This material makes brass non-toxic and is obtained from an eco-friendly, non-toxic alloy, through a traditional process reimagined with the use of new technology. The result is a 100% sustainable finish that guarantees hygienic, healthy and resistant surfaces over time.

11 are the new painted finishes. Also made in our factory with epoxy powder coating (never liquid) and baked in our ovens at 180 degrees.
At the base of these colors and their quality, the choice of an appropriate brass, duly treated and polished.

 

ANCIENT IRON AND TUSCANY
Both are obtained manually, following various oxidation steps, for which each product is unique in its natural shades that also mark its characteristics for a product with an authentic and never the same taste.
Inside each packaging we report a CARE KIT document to be issued to our dealer, where we indicate what to do for the good maintenance of these finishes.
These are not finishes that make the surfaces homogeneous, like a common painted one, which, moreover, has much lower production costs.
The beauty of a finish that wants to imitate IRON lies in a production process of 5 manual steps in order to have the “nuanced&amp” characteristic of cast iron, aged iron or a corten surface.
A deposit of various metal layers of different finishes, on which a manual brushing and a satin varnish are carried out to maintain the aged effect over time.

The final effect is not uniform and the added value that our customers know and appreciate because each individual component and / or final piece is different from one another, therefore very different from the flat uniformity of common paints. This finish makes each piece unique and inimitable.

Perfect gold

For more than twenty years, our gilding process has been carried out with an exclusive 24-karat gold alloy, allowing us to achieve three times the thickness of standard gilding and, what is more, it does not need any additional protective coatings.

Thick chrome-plating

Epoxy-polyester powder coating

At Bongio, we use an exclusive tried-and-tested manual system which allows us to leave items in the electroplating bath as long as is necessary to achieve the desired effect. The chrome-plated surface is denser compared to automatically-processed products, leading to huge benefits in terms of lifespan, luminosity, durability, resistance and high performance regardless of climate or geographic location.

ATTENTION

YOUR CHOICE is important to us and for this reason we would like to give you dedicated instructions for the good maintenance of the products.

Our products must be treated with the utmost care and DAILY cleaning, using only neutral soap, warm water and a soft cloth for drying, so as to keep their original characteristics intact over time. The deposits of water, limescale and cleaning substances on the surfaces and stagnation in the areas where they can be created must be avoided (bottom base and aerator nozzle).

It is important to proceed with the correct DAILY MAINTENANCE AND DRYING and always pay attention to the cleaning of the areas surrounding the Bongio product, such as coatings or bathroom fixtures, where the use of aggressive products can also damage our finishes. The use of aggressive detergents containing solvents and / or acids, abrasive powders of any kind or alcohol and similar, can seriously damage the product.

We remind you that carelessness and lack of attention during the assembly phase can damage the product even before it is used and we remind installers that the surfaces treated with valuable objects must be handled with care, since a small scratch or a slightest hit, they can cause a great deal of damage over time.

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO SCRATCH THE PAINTING OF YOUR CAR? OR GIVE IT A LITTLE BUMP? At that point the paint will weaken so even the most expensive and branded car must be treated with great care.
