Polished Brass vs. Polished Chrome - What is the Difference?
Polished Brass vs. Polished Chrome - What Is The Difference?
When choosing a style of finish, one may decide to go for either an antique or polished style. The polished style gives off an impression of sleek and stylish, while giving the home or office a "new" feel to it. But there are different styles of polished finishes that a buyer can choose from. Two of the more popular styles are polished brass and polished chrome, which showcase different looks.
(Polished Brass)
If an individual chooses a polished brass finish, they will be picking a style that likely matches a brass-heavy home or office. This style has a golden color to it and is lacquer-coated to prevent tarnishing over time. It also gives off a sleek and shiny appearance. This finish is stylish and is also the most common finish that buyers choose for their hardware. Most buyers want to choose a polished brass finish because it may best accent their home and it also compliments wooden surroundings.
(Polished Chrome Finish)
If an individual chooses a polished chrome finish, they will be picking a style that likely matches a chrome or nickel-heavy home or office. That's because the polished chrome style is coated in a silver color. It adds a very contemporary and impressive feel to any room that it's seen in. The polished chrome finish is made by first chrome-plating a brass or steel product. After this step, it is then polished to add its glossy tone. This finish differs from polished brass in a couple of ways. First, it is more similar to a nickel finish in that they both have a silver hue. But polished chrome is often viewed as a more "cool" and sleeker style. Polished chrome is usually not lacquer-coated, like its polished brass counterpart, because chrome does not usually tarnish.
(Antique Brass Finish)
There are other styles of finishes to consider, such as oil rubbed bronze, weathered nickel, flat black, and the aforementioned antique styles. But these finishes are less commonly seen (and usually more expensive) than the more popular polished brass or polished chrome finishes. If one is looking for the most common type of finish and prefers a golden, shiny color, then they will choose the polished brass. But if they want something a little more eye-popping, they may consider a polished chrome finish. The key thing to remember about these two styles is that chrome does not tarnish as easily as brass, so it will give off a less shiny feel than its brass counterpart. So, you may go with the polished chrome finish if you want that "new-look" feel to last longer.
(Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish)
Check various online sources - such as the Hardware Help section of LookInTheAttic.com and they can show you pictures of dozes of finish colors and styles.
