COMPARE THE FINISHES

Brushed Nickel or another finish?

How brushed nickel compares with the finishes people usually look at next, and what it’s like to live with.

Brushed nickel or chrome?

Both are silver. Chrome is mirror-bright and cooler, and suits a crisp white bathroom. Brushed nickel is softer and slightly warmer, and hides fingerprints and water spots better. See chrome.

Brushed nickel or gunmetal?

Brushed gunmetal is a deep grey with the same brushed sheen, so it reads much darker. Pick nickel for a light, quiet room and gunmetal when you want the tapware to stand out a little. See gunmetal.

Looking after it

Wipe it with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, then dry it. Acid, chlorine and abrasive cleaners damage any finish, and that damage isn’t covered by the 3-year finish warranty.

Matching the whole room

Every design comes in brushed nickel, so the mixer, shower, waste, towel rail and door handle can all match. The Valencia and Capri mirror frames come in brushed nickel too.

Brushed Nickel questions

Is brushed nickel tapware good?

It's an easy finish to live with, because fingerprints and water spots show less than on chrome. Under it, our taps have DZR brass bodies and Citec ceramic cartridges with a 15-year body warranty.

Is there a nickel shower mixer to match?

Yes. The Cannes in brushed nickel is a diverter mixer that runs two outlets from one lever, with a valve needing 55–85 mm of wall depth; for one outlet, the Milano wall mixer does it.

Brushed nickel or chrome?

Both are silver. Chrome is mirror-bright and cooler; brushed nickel is softer with a slightly warm cast, and hides fingerprints and water spots better (see chrome).

Does brushed nickel rust?

Not on our products: under the finish the taps are DZR brass and the accessories and hardware are 304 stainless steel. Keep acid, chlorine and abrasive cleaners off it, as they damage the finish.

Can you put a brushed nickel tap on a stainless steel sink?

Yes. The Como and Porto fit a single Ø35 mm tap hole in a stainless steel sink or a benchtop.

Brushed nickel taps and fittings in a soft silver

Brushed nickel taps suit people who like silver but not the upkeep of chrome. The brushed grain and slightly warm cast make fingerprints and water spots harder to see, and it sits comfortably beside stone, warm whites and timber. All 24 of our designs come in it.

Nickel tapware for basin and kitchen

Our nickel tapware covers two basin heights: the Vienna Short (175 mm tall, 75 mm under the spout) and the Vienna Tall (305 mm, 200 mm under the spout). The Milano wall mixer and Milano spout set leave the bench clear. At the sink, the Como swivels 360° and the Porto pulls out, both on a Ø35 mm tap hole. Five of these six are Lead Free WaterMark certified; the Porto is the exception.

Brushed nickel shower rail and showers

The Corsica brushed nickel shower rail set carries an overhead head and a hand shower on one 930 mm rail, with a diverter between them. For separate fittings, the Lyon drops 200 mm from the ceiling and the Bordeaux reaches 384 mm from the wall, both with a 250 mm head. Water spots build up fastest in a shower, which is where a brushed surface helps most.

Brushed nickel bathroom hardware

The Lille roll holder (165 mm), Provence 600 mm towel rail and Copenhagen hook are 304 stainless steel in the same brushed nickel. On the screen, hinges and clamps suit 8 to 12 mm glass, and the Granada floor waste and Firenze bottle trap finish the plumbing you can see.

Brushed nickel internal door handles

The brushed nickel door handle in our range is the Santorini lever, with the Prague lock and Venezia butt hinges to match. Handle and lock suit internal doors 30 to 42 mm thick with a 60 mm backset, so the finish can run from the vanity to every door in the house.

Care

Wipe it with warm soapy water and a soft cloth and dry it; acid, chlorine and abrasives damage it. Tapware finishes explained compares it with the other five.

Every product here has the same cover: 15 years on the body, 7 years on cartridges, valves and moving parts, 3 years on the finish and 2 years on washers, seals and O-rings (tapware warranty). Taps and showers must be installed by a licensed plumber for the warranty to apply.
