For those that demand genuine gold in their homes, Santec offers Genuine Polished Gold and Satin Gold finishes (30, 35) on select faucets and bath fixtures. Our genuine gold finishes are “Living Finishes” as they contain the real element of nature’s most valuable mineral. Our gold finishes therefore bear the same characteristics of natural gold both in appearance and softness. All gold finishes will wear with time. Gold plating is delicate and requires careful handling and cleaning. The rate of finish deterioration depends on various factors such as the conditions and frequency of use, exposure to climate moisture, chemicals, and other environmental factors. Santec does not warranty genuine gold finishes after possession has been transferred from the dealer to the customer due to the uncertain handling and environmental factors unique to each home. Wear and tear is not a defect but a process of normal usage and is not covered under finish warranty. When purchasing gold faucets and fixtures, the customer is responsible to check for any defects before taking possession of the product.

Mechanical

A Lifetime Limited Warranty is provided on parts to be free from failure related defects in materials and workmanship under normal usage. This warranty does not apply to replacement parts with damage caused by normal wear and tear. SANTEC cartridges carry a five year limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects from date of purchase.
