LIVING FINISHES

Living Finishes are unlacquered and showcase characteristics that allow the product to gracefully evolve over time to form a unique, timeless patina; intended to result in showing off the natural beauty & charm of the underlying brass.

Henry Blake's Living finishes include: Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Satin Brass, Dark Bronze, Antique Nickel, Coppered Bronze

Care & Maintenance of Living Finishes

It is important to note that the exact appearance & rate of patina development can vary depending on factors such as climate, usage & maintenance of the product.

For regular maintenance, we recommend cleaning with a soft, dry cloth without the use of any cleaning abrasives. To help enhance the beauty of the product, the occasional application of beeswax can be applied.

LACQUERED FINISHES

Contrary to our Living Finishes are our equally luxurious Lacquered Finishes. These products have a clear "lacquer" applied to the product to act as a protective barrier between the surface of the product & the surrounding environment. This added process prevents the finish from changing in appearance over time & keeps the original aesthetic for an extended period.

Henry Blake's lacquered finishes include: Polished Brass Lacquered, Dark Bronze Lacquered, Medium Bronze Lacquered, and Graphite Lacquered

Care & Maintenance of Lacquered Finishes

We recommend to clean our lacquered finished products by gently wiping with damp cloth & mild soapy water. To further enhance the appearance, a good quality wax polish should be subsequently applied.

PLATED FINISHES

Plated Finishes are our most durable type of finish, often achieving a minimalist appeal through the use of silvery tones in Chrome & Nickel.

Henry Blake's plated finishes include: Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Matte Black

Care & Maintenance of Plated Finishes

To maintain Plated products, we recommend gently cleaning with a damp cloth & mild soapy water. Avoid the use of cleaning abrasives

Most cabinet hardware includes screws for 3/4" thick panels. For thicker cabinets, longer screws can be purchased separately either through us or your nearest hardware store.

Most cabinet pulls are sized by the center to center. This is the distance from the center of one hole to the center of the other hole. Length is the overall length of the pull from tip to tip.

1-1/4" is the most common size knob. For drawer pulls, we often recommend using a pull approximately 1/3 the length of the drawer. For cabinet doors, 5" - 6.5" works well for most cabinets. If your upper cabinets are extra tall, 8" may be more suitable. Click here for our complete guide.

Using a mixture of knobs and pulls can help make your space feel more custom. A safe go-to is knobs on doors and pulls on drawers, but there are many other options that look nice as well. Click here for our complete guide.
