Finish Options
All hardware is available in Combination or Split finishes.
Combination Finishes
Individual components of different finishes are assembled into a
lever or pull handle, ie. satin chrome plate velvet lever and rose
cover and polished chrome plate rose and handle boss.
Split Finishes
This is where different sections of a pull or lever handle can be
processed in two finishes. The blend between the finishes can
be ‘crisp’ along a ridge line, or ‘soft’ over a contoured area
of the handle, eg. combination of Sand Polished Chrome and
Polished Chrome. Contact chant to discuss your requirements.
Bronze Metal and “Living Finishes”
All of our products are made of brass as the base metal and are
used for the electroplated finishes, including copper. Almost all
of our products are also available in bronze as the base metal.
Uncoated brass, copper and bronze are used where the beauty
of polished, natural, or patina finishes are required to
compliment or enhance the décor.
They are subject to colour change over time, depending upon;
– Atmospheric conditions present, which can vary from low
corrosion indoors, non coastal; to high corrosion, exterior,
in coastal areas with salt laden air.
– Wear patterns with use, from little used ornamental handles
to high use handles. Greater use may wear the surface
finishes back to the base metal and provide contrasting
patina and semi polished surfaces.
Combinations of the above factors, in varying degrees will
provide unique and “Living Finishes”. These finishes as specified
are therefore not guaranteed for colour fastness.
Satin Nickle Plate is included in the “Living Finishes” group. It
will oxidise to a minor degree over time, as it is a metal. Because
of its colour, it is often the preferred match for hardware
on natural finish timber doors and windows over other electroplated
finishes like satin chrome plate. This natural ageing
is deemed desirable in some markets. We do not lacquer this
finish to protect it from oxidising (as often other brand products
do). This is because lacquers will ultimately fail with use,
through abrasion and chipping of the surface; and look inferior
to a naturally ageing finish over the complete product.
Products in the “Living Finishes” group can also be maintained
as polished surfaces with standard proprietary metal polish
cleaners.

designed to patina or otherwise change over time are
excluded from our warranty.

or property damage resulting from failure to adhere to relevant
installation operation and safety procedures.
Nothing in this warranty excludes, restricts or modifies any
condition, warranty, right or liability implied or protected by law
