Uncoated bare brass, the original finish of tapware, is finding new popularity as a distinctive and sustainable choice for tapware.
Brass taps and fittings will last a lifetime with only components such as the ceramic disc valves needing replacement from time to time. When left uncoated and unpolished, high quality brass develops a unique patina which complements stone and wood and fits with a range of interior styles including the Rough Luxe movement.
Brass is also perfect for use in exposed situations such as al fresco kitchens and for outdoor showers at beach houses where exterior fittings must be able to withstand the elements. Brass fittings will develop verdigris and require no cleaning.
Brass is also being favoured for its antimicrobial properties; the copper in brass makes brass germicidal. Brass tapware and fittings are being specified for public situations where the spread of pathogens can be a problem, such as in hospitals and wash rooms in restaurants and public buildings; an eco-friendly approach to bacterial control.
All Perrin & Rowe tapware, shower fittings and accessories can be supplied in bare brass on special order. Hawthorn Hill towel warmers can also be supplied in bare brass for a stunning industrial look.
