Finishes

Polished Lacquered Brass (PB)

This is the standard finish for most items. (Exceptions are noted in the product descriptions.)

Polished Unlacquered Brass (PBNL)

This finish, though bright when new, will tarnish quickly through use and exposure, to a natural antique finish.

Oil Rubbed Bronze (OB)

A rich, deep, brown finish, produced by oxidation of the brass metal, and protected by a matte lacquer. Over time the areas of the hardware exposed to wear will become lighter and more polished by use, resulting in the appearance of antique bronze.

Satin Nickel (SN)

This finish is produced by lightly polishing a dull nickel plating with a fine abrasive brush. The result is a clean, functional look, not unlike pewter or brushed stainless steel.

Polished Nickel (PN)

This is a smooth, rich, and highly polished finish, often found on high quality bathroom fixtures. Polished nickel has a warmer appearance when compared to chrome plating.
