Brushed Nickel Taps

Brushed nickel sits between chrome and brass — a soft satin grey with a warm undertone, less cold than chrome and less bold than gold. The range runs a matching set: mono and mini basin mixers, tall hi-rise mixers, bath fillers, bath shower mixers, wall mounted mixers and freestanding bath shower mixers.

Because it is brushed rather than polished, it does not show fingerprints and water spots the way chrome does, which makes it a practical choice for a family bathroom or a hard water area. It pairs naturally with warm-toned tiles, oak furniture and stone-effect surfaces.

Living with brushed nickel

• Hides fingermarks and limescale spotting far better than polished chrome.
• Warmer in tone than brushed steel or stainless, closer to a pale champagne.
• Clean with a soft damp cloth only — abrasive creams and descalers will dull the finish.
• Matching wastes, bottle traps and bathroom accessories are available in the same finish.

Also in this range: all bathroom taps, brushed nickel accessories and basin wastes.

Frequently asked questions

Is brushed nickel the same as brushed steel?

They are close but not identical. Brushed nickel has a warmer, slightly golden cast, while brushed steel and stainless read cooler and greyer. Side by side the difference is visible, so keep to one or the other within a room.

How do I clean brushed nickel taps?

A soft cloth and warm water, dried off afterwards. Avoid limescale removers, bleach and anything abrasive, all of which can mark or strip the brushed surface permanently.
