BEHIND THE FINISH: CHROME

When considering a chrome finish, it's important to understand the available options. Chrome provides a high-gloss, mirror-like finish that offers a clean and sophisticated look, complementing any environment. Brushed Chrome, on the other hand, has a more steely appearance, while Satin Chrome is the softest and most subtle of the three. Chrome finishes are highly durable compared to most other finishes, making them ideal for high-wear conditions.

POLISHED CHROME

This finish typically creates a bright, highly reflective surface with a cool, bluish-white hue. It has a durable coating that enhances hardness, making it more resistant to scratches and wear.

SATIN CHROME

Satin Chrome has a smooth, matte finish without the fine abrasive texture of Brushed Chrome. This creates a softer, more subtle appearance with a pearlescent quality. Its understated elegance adds a touch of sophistication to any space.

BRUSHED CHROME

In contrast to polished chrome, which is highly reflective, brushed chrome has a more subdued yet bright sheen. Its subtle, brushed texture is created by fine abrasions on the surface, giving it a unique tactile quality and a cooler, more modern aesthetic.


CARE & MAINTENANCE

Products should be washed gently with warm, soapy water and dried with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. To remove limescale, use a proprietary limescale remover according to the directions of use, ensuring it is not left on longer than recommended. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Regular descaling may be necessary for shower heads, particularly in hard water areas. Note that humidity and sunlight can affect the appearance of finishes over time.
