'LIVING' FINISHES

Over time living finishes can tarnish, patinate and expose base colours. The change in appearance will depend upon the environment and conditions in which products are kept and used. All non-brass finishes are plated over the highest quality solid brass, and while we believe the quality of our finishes is superior, no product can be guaranteed to keep the original factory finish. What we can guarantee is that both our unlacquered and waxed living finishes create a beautiful patina, loved by customers who want an aged or ‘vintage’ look.

'ESTABLISHED' FINISHES

Over time, established finishes may change in appearance but if cleaning instructions are followed, they will retain a sharp and pristine appearance for longer than our living finishes.

'ENDURING' FINISHES

While some appreciate the evolving nature of our living finishes there are others that would prefer products to keep their factory finish. To provide our customers with choice and to honour our commitment to innovation, we have developed ‘enduring finishes’. These finishes now have a stable, long-lasting quality while retaining their unmistakable beauty and tone. If cleaning instructions are followed, products will maintain a close-to-factory finish for many years to come.
