Finishes & Style

Rule number one in selecting a finish is to ensure it matches nearby cabinet hardware, towel bars, or other finishes in your bathroom. If you plan on replacing all the existing hardware, your choices for faucet finishes are endless. Most faucets offer a variety of finishes, but keep in mind that not all finishes are created equal.

Some things to consider before you select a finish are:

1. Modern vs classic look and feel
2. Matching your current accessories
3. Overall durability

Chrome is the most durable and the easiest to clean, which is one of the reasons that it remains one of the most popular for commercial, public, and private washrooms. If your faucet will be in a main area that gets a lot of use, it’s your best bet for long-term resilience.

Nickel finishes are usually labelled “brushed,” “satin” or “stainless steel” and have a more muted shine. They’re durable but more likely to show fingerprints and water spots, which makes them slightly more work to keep clean. To help combat the stains and smudges, some may have a protective coating.

Bronze faucets have a brownish tone and are often called “oiled” or “rubbed” bronze, but the surface is actually a coating (such as epoxy) rather than metal. This coating is fairly tough, but it is possible that it can chip or scratch more easily than solid metal.

Matte black faucets are an increasingly popular option for bathrooms because of their ability to match other items, such as vanities and accent pieces. If you want to make a statement or you are doing a smaller renovation that doesn’t involve changing all aspects of your bathroom, matte black is a great option. Other benefits are that it’s easy to clean and doesn’t show dirt, fingerprints or water spots as easily as some other finishes.

Style
