Nickel is what to specify when chrome reads too cold against the stone. It carries a faint warmth that chrome does not, which matters in a shower lined with travertine, honed limestone or warm timber, where a cool metal looks borrowed from a different room.
Brushed nickel is also the most practical finish we make for a shower. The directional grain hides water marks and limescale better than anything polished, and in a hard water area that is the difference between wiping the fittings weekly and never thinking about them.
This is a short range, so if you are specifying a complete system in nickel, talk to us before ordering to confirm every piece you need is available in the finish.
