In addition to bronze and copper, brass is an exotic option for
a kitchen faucet. It's not as common as bronze or copper in the
kitchen but certainly worthy of having its own place. Brass is
composed chiefly of copper and zinc. It has a yellowish gold
finish whose intensity depends on its type of finish.
Here are several styles of copper faucets:
Antique or Weathered Brass Faucets
Antique brass faucets feature darker finishes and are almost exclusively designed in old world styles. This type is mainly seen in traditional kitchens.
Polished Brass Faucets
Light in color and shiny in finish, polished brass faucets can be found in both contemporary and traditional kitchens. Where polished copper faucets provide a reddish tone, polished brass provide a muted gold tone.
Satin or Brushed Brass Faucets
Satin or Brushed Brass Faucets provide a textured finish and are mainly designer items. You'll be able to find them in both traditional and contemporary designs, however, this style was never in existence during any traditional period.
Consider This
Brass won't tarnish as easily as copper but preventative care is still recommended when you have polished brass faucets.
While you'll be able to find exotic designer brass faucets for sale, you may not find bargain basement pricing.
