When you step into a beautifully designed bathroom, the accents of shiny stainless steel always give a silver lining to a well-functioning bathroom. This comes in handy when selecting the right faucet, which subtly elevates and accents the space. A well-functioning faucet is a standard requirement, but with Jaquar, a functioning faucet that has statement aesthetics and offers performance and durability is a task of ease.
In modern-day Sri Lanka, where homes are a blend of tradition and contemporary living, our faucets should not only meet everyday functionality but also reflect the evolving tastes of design-conscious homeowners, seamlessly merging style, innovation, and long-lasting performance.
1. Chrome: Timeless, Clean and Classic
A favourite that never goes out of style, chrome finishes add a bright, mirror-like shine that complements everything, from classic to modern styles. Particularly ideal for small or low-light bathrooms, chrome reflects light to create the illusion of larger, more refreshed spaces.
Jaquar's chrome faucets couple sleek looks with simple maintenance, making them a practical yet stylish solution for busy households.
2. Matte Black: Contemporary and Bold
Matte black faucets are a bold design statement, providing dramatic contrast for contemporary, industrial, or Scandinavian-style bathrooms. The finish is fingerprint- and water-spot-resistant, so it's both stylish and functional.
Jaquar's matte black choices bring weight and contemporary sophistication—ideal for those who desire function with a flair.
3. Brushed Gold: Warm, Understated Luxury
Brushed gold provides a soft, satin sheen that gives warmth and sophistication without being over-the-top. It pairs well with earthy tones and natural textures such as wood and stone, perfect for spa-inspired or organic contemporary bathrooms.
Jaquar's gold finish faucets add just the right amount of subtle luxury.
4. Brushed Nickel: Soft and Sophisticated
Brushed nickel provides a richer, more embossed look compared to chrome. It is fingerprint-resistant and resistant to spots, which makes it perfect for busy family bathrooms, and can be used in transitional styles that straddle traditional and contemporary.
Jaquar's brushed nickel finishes provide understated sophistication to any room.
5. Glossy White & Dual Finishes: Modern and Customisable
High-gloss white finishes, combined with chrome or gold highlights, complement streamlined, minimalist bathrooms. Two-tone alternatives enable you to mix and contrast, providing more customisation and cohesion with other fixtures.
These finishes are perfect for single-colour schemes or design-driven rooms seeking a subtle metallic look.
6. Solid Brass: Durable to the Core
Underneath each finish lies Jaquar's reliable, solid brass build, famous for its strength, rust resistance, and consistent water flow.
Whether wall-mounted, deck-mounted, or floor-mounted, brass guarantees long-term reliability and that satisfying, premium feel.

Whether you're optimising counter space with wall-mounted types or making a centrepiece with a floor-mounted tub filler, there's a faucet designed for your way of life.
Understanding Faucet Finishes
When choosing a bathroom faucet, the faucet finish does more than look good; it affects durability, cleanability, and coordination with your bathroom style. Some of the most popular faucet finish choices are chrome, brushed nickel, matte black and brushed gold. Chrome is shiny and reflective, perfect for bringing brightness to the space. Brushed finishes provide a less dramatic texture that resists watermarks and fingerprints in busy bathrooms. Matte black is preferred for its strong look and low maintenance needs, whereas brushed gold creates warmth and personality in spa-like environments.
When choosing a finish, keep in mind current fixtures such as towel racks, handles, or showers. Maintaining a consistent or coordinating finish can pull the design together beautifully. Jaquar's carefully selected finish choices are designed to allow homeowners to create harmonious, stylish environments that balance form and function, keeping your bathroom timeless yet modern.
Why Faucet Material is Important?
The faucet material you select has a direct effect on the durability, safety, and performance of your bathroom fixture. Quality materials not only guarantee longevity but also sustain water purity and resist corrosion. Jaquar faucets are manufactured almost entirely of solid brass, a standard of the industry for high-end fixtures because of its durability, anti-rust capabilities, and immunity to hard water damage.
Brass is resistant to temperature changes and repeated use without degrading, which makes it a dependable option for both basin and shower faucet applications. It also forms a solid foundation to apply various finishes such as chrome, matte black, or brushed gold, ensuring the external appearance matches the internal framework.
Certain models of faucets might use stainless steel or engineering polymers in certain components, but the primary material is still brass to deliver optimal performance. When deciding on a faucet type, always look beyond the surface; it's the beginning of a reliable, long-lasting fixture.
How to Select the Appropriate Faucet Finish and Material
The following are some things to keep in mind when choosing the perfect faucet colour, finish and material:
- Bathroom Size and Lighting: Lighter finishes, such as chrome and brushed nickel, reflect more light and suit smaller or poorly lit spaces. Darker finishes, such as matte black, provide dramatic contrast in highly lit or white-walled bathrooms.
- Maintenance Preferences: Some finishes are less critical than others. Brushed or matte finishes are usually less demanding to clean than high-gloss finishes.
- Design Harmony: Match your faucet finish to hardware such as towel rails, handles, and mirror frames for visual harmony.
- Faucet Installation Requirements: Wall-mount or floor-mount faucets can demand plumbing modifications. Consider this in renovation preparation.
- Mixing Finishes: It's possible to mix finishes tastefully. Just be deliberate, perhaps reserving one finish for your taps and the other for accessories, and strike a balance.
Lifestyle Matches: Complete by Personality
- Minimalist Look: Chrome or glossy white finishes look stunning.
- Creative Panache: Brushed gold or double-tone finishes provide a unique twist.
- Functional Concentration: Matte black or Pressmatic faucets provide utility as well as aesthetics.
- Spa-Inspired Serenity: Brushed nickel and gold with gentle curves promote a soothing mood.
Jaquar's range is designed to accommodate all of these lifestyle stories, allowing you to find a product that fits both your lifestyle and daily routine.
