Antique Brass
A traditional patina for solid brass hardware with the warm, uncomplicated tone that gives an enhanced color to this antiqued then relieved finish. The final step is a protective lacquer. This finish is suited to accenting design elements that call for a three-dimensional appearance.
Burnished Antique Brass
This finish gives solid brass hardware the desirable, time-worn patina of authentic antiques. The brass is gently rubbed to give it a vintage look which boosts the warm glow of the finish and adds depth. The brass is then slightly antiqued and relieved by hand rubbing. The final step of applying a Decorative Hardware Wax brings out additional patina and protects the finish while allowing it to age naturally over time.

Our trivalent chrome is the safest and most environmentally friendly chrome process available. It has a slightly cool blue/gray tone and needs no additional protective coating.
Polished Copper

Copper is known to contain antimicrobial properties and is becoming more popular for certain applications where more than just a beautiful finish is desired.
Polished Nickel
The solid brass or bronze hardware is polished and buffed. It is copper plated and then bright nickel plated. It is buffed again to achieve a brilliant shine. Nickel has a slightly warm tone and does not tarnish so no protective coating is necessary.
Polished Silver
