Why Faucet Finishes Matter More Than You Think in Commercial Projects

Faucet finishes offer commercial properties an aesthetic that suits a building’s atmosphere, but they can also make upkeep easier depending on the finish you choose. Well designed and executed faucet finishes are more than a pretty facade, they also aid in preventing corrosion and look cleaner in-between cleanings, a key selling point when pitching a commercial project. Choosing the right finish from the right manufacturer is important based on the business’ needs and style. Some faucet finishes are more durable than others, and others are easier to clean. It can be difficult finding the right finish that fits the establishment’s look while also making janitorial work and maintenance easy on staff. Luckily, there are specific finishes that fit these criteria best according to our experts. They are chrome, brushed nickel, and matte black.

Chrome

Chrome finishes are the most common and generally most economical finishes on the market. Sleek and reflective, chrome offers a modern and elegant look. The surface, without a tough UV coating, can age faster than others, so bear that in mind. Marks and fingerprints are more visible on a reflective surface like chrome, so greater attention to cleaning it is required. A great advantage to chrome, however, is high durability. Maintenance to a chrome faucet will be limited due to its strong surface. Consider the Three Hole Deck Mount Electronic Sensor Faucet in a chrome finish for your commercial bathroom. The sensor and chrome finish makes for a high-end and modern look that works for any bathroom.

Brushed Nickel

Although more expensive than chrome, brushed nickel finishes are the most durable finishes on the market. The end result of running a wire brush across the faucet’s nickel-coated surface is a thicker, stronger finish that hides any imperfections. Chrome might reveal a mark or smudge due to its shiny surface, but brushed nickel resists wear and tear, and the matte surface makes it more difficult to see scratches. The simple design also makes matching neighboring appliances easy. The look is minimalistic and modern, making it fit in to any kitchen or bathroom. Consider the Single Handle Pull-Out Kitchen Faucet in a brushed nickel finish. Easy to match any aesthetic and extremely strong, this finish will be best suited for an eclectic and fast-moving environment.

Matte Black

Also durable and easy to clean, matte black finishes are up and coming when it comes to trendy designs. As a simple and minimalistic design, the matte black faucets can match almost anything. The opaque, dark-colored surface hides smudges more than any other finish. Since the surface is smooth but not shiny, it is easy to clean. Hygiene-conscious business owners would benefit from choosing a matte black finish for their faucets since it is one of the easiest to clean and hardest to notice any imperfections on. Consider the Single Handle Pre-Rinse Spring Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet because it looks great in a matte black finish and improves the convenience of a commercial kitchen. If you are looking to compile trendy and clean appliances for your kitchen, then matte black is the finish for you.

Now you’re ready to shop!

Your business will benefit from the right faucet finish, whether it be something durable like brushed nickel or trendy like matte black. Considering your business’ allocated time and budget for cleaning, a chrome finish might work best for you. Chrome is the most economic and common finish and gives any bathroom or kitchen an elegant look. For a trendier atmosphere, matte black finishes fit it nicely and hide smudges well. For an environment that will require a strong faucet, brushed nickel finishes offer a simple look and excellent durability. Based on your commercial kitchen or bathroom needs, these finishes will offer the best solutions for you.
