This range of bathroom taps and accessories works perfectly when paired with other products from the same range, but isn’t suitable for pairing with the standard MPRO range. Speaking of finishes, the MPRO industrial range is unlacquered, meaning your taps will oxidise over time and develop a patina for an even more industrial appearance. This wonderful range is aesthetics galore thanks to that urban, angular design and rustic finish. The Crosswater Brushed Brass range is one of our customer favourites and with such a unique, modern design, it’s no secret why! Products in this range come with a PVD coated finish, which if you remember is one of the most durable coatings, being 3 times harder and 10 times more scratch resistant than electroplating.Ĭrosswater MPRO Brushed Brass - Industrial Rangeįor those of us after a more statement look, the MPRO Industrial range is a real treat. Now that you’re acquainted with our varying finish coatings, let’s get stuck into our brushed brass taps and their array of finishes. The results are a “living finish” where the appearance of the brass alters over time, developing a warm patina. Put simply, unlacquered is brass that doesn’t have a coating. PVD Coatings in brassware are around 3 times harder and 10 times more scratch resistant than electroplating. PVD coatings are extremely resistant to corrosion and boast high temperature resistance, good impact strength, and wonderful abrasion resistance. During the process, the material goes from a condensed phase, to a vapor phase, back to a thin film condensed phase. PVD or ‘Physical Vapor Deposition’ is a vacuum deposition method used in producing thin films and coatings. Powder CoatingĪpplied as a free-flowing, dry powder, this coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts together, and is cured under heat to form a durable, high-quality skin coating. Immersion plating also creates a high quality and durable finish. Immersion plating is similar to electroplating but uses several simultaneous reactions in an aqueous substance, instead of any external electrical power as with electroplating. This aids the overall durability of the product, including its resistance to corrosion and general wear & tear, alongside those aesthetic qualities too. Types Of Brushed Brass Coating ElectroplatingĮlectroplating is where a metallic or non-metallic product is coated with a very thin layer of Chromium or a coloured alternative using the process of electrolysis. Brushed brass is durable and will attract much fewer fingerprints than other finishes so the modern, elegant look is easy to maintain. What Is Brushed Brass?īrushed brass is brass that has been treated to give it a duller, matt look when compared with traditional polished brass finishes. However, with different suppliers come slightly different finishes, so here we take you through the different types offered by different brands. If you hadn’t already noticed, brushed brass has become a pretty popular addition to bathrooms as of late.
