FINISHES 101: Chrome
Posted by Scott Williams on September 27, 2019 0 Comments
Did you know that your faucet and lighting fixtures can provide both the foundation and the jewelry for the most-used areas of your home? Just think about how often you are in your bath or kitchen each day, turning on faucets, adjusting the temperature in your shower, and flipping switches for a variety of task and mood lighting - and how many of your guests also experience these fixtures.
This is first in a series of Faucets 101, which we hope will help you compare and select the right finish for your kitchens and baths. Come to our showroom to see the differences in these finishes in person. Our knowledgeable team will help you select just the right touches for your project - and provide you service every step of the way.
We're going to start with one of the most classic of all finishes - Chrome! This shiny, highly polished finish can easily be mixed with other fixtures and accessories in the same room, while still standing out and drawing plenty of attention. Chrome has great versatility and can be used along with many color schemes. It is cool, fresh and modern, but also ideal for a vintage look. One of the latest trends is mixing Chrome with the very popular Matte Black. Chrome is corrosion resistant, but it does require frequent cleaning because of water spots and smudges. It is typically the most budget-friendly finish.
