Brushed Brass Showers

About

Brushed Brass Showers Buying Guide Brushed brass showers bring a warm, golden finish to the bathroom. This collection includes twin showers, rail showers, shower roses, arms and hand showers from Phoenix, Nero, Meir, Caroma and Fienza, in brushed brass, brushed gold, aged brass, Urban Brass and Tiger Bronze. It suits bathrooms with brass tapware or anyone adding warmth to a white, timber or stone scheme. Is brass good for a shower head? Yes. Brass resists corrosion and does not rust like ordinary steel, which suits a humid bathroom. Most brushed brass showers have a PVD finish, which bonds the colour to the surface and resists wear. Water spots and mineral build-up, not the metal, are what usually change the look, so a simple care routine keeps it looking good. Which type of shower should I choose? A twin shower combines an overhead rose and a hand shower, such as the Phoenix Cromford, Nero Mecca or Caroma Liano II Compact Twin. A rail shower has a sliding hand shower on a rail, which suits families and shorter users. A fixed rose on a wall or ceiling arm, such as the Meir Round 200mm or 300mm, gives a simple, clean look and is often paired with a separate hand shower. What is the difference between brushed brass, brushed gold and aged brass? Brushed brass is a soft, warm gold. Brushed gold, used by Phoenix and Nero, is usually brighter. Aged brass, as on the Nero York range, is darker with an antique feel. Meir's Tiger Bronze is a deep bronze-gold, and Fienza's Urban Brass has its own tone. Choose your shower from the same brand as your mixer for the closest match. What size shower rose do I need? A 200mm rose suits most showers and gives good coverage at standard pressure. A 250mm or 300mm rose, such as the Meir Round 300mm, gives a wider spray and suits larger showers and ceiling arms. Check your water pressure; larger roses need good flow to feel strong. Can brushed brass showers be retrofitted? Some can. The Fienza Kaya Retrofit Twin Shower is designed to conne
