No matter if you are planning a complete remodel or simply changing the knobs and faucets in your cabinets, the finishing choice can make a big difference to the overall look of the room.
Brushed nickel is becoming a popular choice among homeowners. How does it compare to the long-standing favourites chrome and stainless steel? Is it the right choice for your remodel? We compared these metal finishes to find the one that will best suit your home and budget.
What is Brushed Nickel?
Nickel that has had its surface etched with a wire brush, or another tool to give it a texture is called brushed nickel. Brushed nickel has a warm tonal appearance and creates interesting shadow and light interactions on its surface. Brushed nickel is a very popular metal finish.
- Door knobs.
- Numbers of houses
- Kitchen faucets.
- Bathroom fittings.
- Cabinet hardware
- Lighting fixtures.
What is Chrome?
Chrome was originally used for parts for cars, but it has become a popular choice for fixtures and hardware in recent years. For a relatively low price, chrome is resistant to rust and corrosion. It is, however, prone to fingerprints and water spots so it needs to be cleaned regularly.
What is Stainless Steel?
Because stainless steel complements many home styles, it is a popular choice for hardware and fittings. Although stainless steel and brushed nickel look similar, the main difference lies in their undertone. Stainless steel tends to be slightly more blue-coloured while stainless steel is more golden. Fixtures made of 100 per cent stainless steel are a long-lasting investment that can last many years without rusting or corrosion.
