Popular finishes
Polished chrome
Bright, mirror-like and the most durable standard finish. Easy to match with most faucets. Usually the lowest-cost option.
Brushed nickel (satin nickel)
Soft, warm silver with a brushed texture. Hides water spots and fingerprints well. A safe choice for almost any bathroom.
Polished nickel
Like chrome but with a warmer, slightly golden tone. A classic look for traditional and high-end bathrooms.
Matte black
Bold and modern. Looks great with white tile and black plumbing fixtures. Shows hard-water spots, so a squeegee helps.
Brushed gold / satin brass
Warm, soft gold with a brushed texture. One of the most requested finishes right now. Gold tones vary by brand, so we match to your fixtures.
Polished brass
Shiny, bright gold. A statement look for traditional or glam bathrooms.
Oil-rubbed bronze
Dark brown with copper highlights. Fits traditional, rustic and Tuscan-style bathrooms.
Gunmetal / graphite
A dark gray metal look between black and nickel. Subtle and modern.
Brushed stainless steel
Very durable and common in commercial doors, railings and outdoor hardware because it resists corrosion.
PVD "lifetime" finishes
PVD stands for physical vapor deposition. The color is bonded to the metal at a molecular level instead of being plated or painted on. PVD finishes are much harder to scratch and won't tarnish or fade, which is why they're often sold as "lifetime" finishes. They're most common in brushed gold, polished brass, matte black and gunmetal.
If you want gold or brass that stays looking new, PVD is worth the extra cost.
Commercial and storefront finishes
Clear anodized aluminum
The standard silver finish for storefront and window framing. Durable and low maintenance.
Dark bronze anodized aluminum
A deep brown-black storefront finish that looks great on brick and stone buildings.
Black painted aluminum
A modern black frame for storefronts, windows and office fronts. Can also be painted in custom colors.
