Finishing Touch

When choosing your home hardware, the variety of options may be overwhelming. To make the task easier, try selecting a finish first. Whether your style is contemporary or traditional, there is a finish to enhance the look of your home.

Oil Rubbed Bronze finish is a chemically darkened surface that simulates aged bronze. This finish is very dark, varies from a deep brown to a dark gray, and usually has copper undertones.

Polished Brass finish is solid brass that is polished and lacquer-coated to prevent tarnishing over time. Polished brass is the most common finish and is usually the finish displayed on the website.

Polished Chrome finish is chrome plating on brass or steel that is then polished. Chrome is similar to nickel in that they both have silver tones.

Satin Nickel finish is nickel plating on brass that has been dulled and lacquer-coated.

Antique Pewter finish is usually nickel plating on brass which has been dulled and darkened to simulate pewter.
