Two distinct finishes that offer endless possibilities in kitchen and bath design are polished nickel and polished brass. The only difference is that polished brass has a brass or golden finish while nickel has a silver tone. Both are charming finishes. It all comes down to personal preference and the colours you have in your space.
Polished Nickel
Polished nickel is similar to polished chrome, but has a warmer tint and is not as warm as brass. This is a subtle, but brighter finish that can be used to make a fixture less intense. It is easier to clean this finish with a damp cloth. Polished nickel is a great choice for busy homes with lots of visitors. It's bright enough to make a big statement, but it blends well with the design. Kingston offers polished nickel in a variety of fixtures.
You can find fixtures such as side sprayers, kitchen and bath faucets, bathtub faucets, and tub faucets in Kingston. Because of its slight warmth, polished nickel can be used in moderation with polished brass, oil-rubbed bronze, and polished chrome to complement your home.
Polished brass
Brass finish accessories and faucets will make a bold statement in a bathroom design or update. The best choice will depend on your bathroom's design and theme. You can choose from antique, polished or brushed finishes. While they are all wonderful shades of brass, there are distinct colours. Polished brass has a more elegant, reflective look while brushed is more subtle.
Brushed brass has the rich colour of brass, but with a textured design. It has a vintage look and darker colour. Brass in the bathroom adds a luxurious touch and looks great.
