Chrome -
The hardest and most durable finish. It is a brilliant silver with a hint of blue. This classic finish suits all styles of brassware and requires little day-to-day maintenance. |  |  |
Nickel -
It's a more delicate finish and can change over time as it reacts with its environment. It has been electroplated and is a shiny finish like chrome, but has a golden glow which can be described as a ‘champagne colour’. Its warm tones suit both traditional and contemporary models beautifully |  |  |
Brushed nickel -
Nickel with a matte appearance. It can also react with its environment, however the finish can be restored. This is a lovely alternative to classic chrome if you desire a different look, but with a similar level of maintenance. |  |  |
Gold -
A soft finish which should be treated like a piece of fine jewellery. Traditionally chosen for more classic styles of brassware, we are now seeing it in more contemporary designs where it looks beautiful. |  |  |
Polished brass -
Raw brass and unlacquered. It is shiny and has been hand-polished. It will change as it reacts with its environment and daily use – we describe this as a ‘living finish’. |  |  |
Satin brass / brushed brass -
Also a raw finish and is unlacquered. It has been brushed so it has a matte appearance. It will change as it reacts with its environment and daily use – we describe this as a ‘living finish’. |  |  |
Aged brass -
(only available on kitchen taps!)
A raw, unlacquered finish. It will change as it reacts with its environment and daily use – we describe this as a ‘living finish’. Only available on kitchen products.
