CP stands for Chrome Plated. These are plumbing fixtures and accessories that have a layer of chromium electroplated onto their base material (usually brass, stainless steel, or sometimes plastic). This chrome plating serves several important purposes:

  • Aesthetics: It provides a shiny, smooth, and often mirror-like finish that looks modern and elegant in bathrooms and kitchens.
  • Durability: The chrome layer is hard and resistant to scratches, dents, and general wear and tear.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Chrome is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, which is crucial in wet environments like bathrooms and kitchens.
  • Ease of Cleaning: The smooth, non-porous surface is easy to wipe clean and resists stains and water spots.
