Compare your options
| Your situation | What to consider |
|---|---|
| One finish throughout | Compare finish codes across taps, shower and accessories. Two brands’ bronze finishes can describe different shades. |
| Polished or brushed metal | View a sample under your lighting. Brushing direction and reflections change how the colour appears. |
| PVD or nickel finish | Look up care for the exact finish code. Surface durability does not make every descaler suitable. |
Details that change the result
Keep the palette focused
Our composition tip: choose one main finish for the most visible fittings. Repeat it on two or three accessories; keep other surfaces quieter to avoid competing reflections.
Separate colour from surface treatment
Brushed brass describes an appearance; PVD describes a deposition process. Keep both pieces of information. THG finish codes identify the variant beyond its commercial name.
Preserve the surface day to day
Keep the care instructions with the reference and finish code. Remove water marks regularly with a suitable cloth. For descaling, follow the manufacturer’s permitted product, dilution and contact time.
