Brass kitchen faucets are durable, and for that reason, most people opt for this material when choosing a new faucet. Manufacturers make brass fixtures with high-quality materials, which is why they tend to last longer.
With more people choosing this durable material for their kitchen faucets, experts expect the brass faucet market to grow at a 5.5% CAGR throughout 2030. That's impressive, considering the U.S. faucet market will grow at a 6.9% CAGR throughout the same timeframe.
If you are in the market to replace outdated fixtures, you may want to peruse this collection of brass kitchen faucets before making your next purchase.
Key Takeaways:
- Common finishes include matte black, classic chrome, and several stainless-steel options. You are less likely to see bronze, gold, or brass-colored finishes.
- Brass is both a material and a finish. Manufacturers make faucets from three primary types of metals, including brass, steel, and zinc.
- When looking for faucets, check what finishes are available before evaluating the other specs. You will avoid disappointment if the faucet you want doesn't come in the finish you need.
Top Faucet Finishes to Choose From
Brass is both a material and a finish. Brass finishes are often shiny, and most people associate them with luxury bathroom finishes from the '70s and '80s. Brass (as a finish) is unique for a kitchen faucet.
Fixtures made of brass (as a material) are quite common. Manufacturers make faucets out of three primary metal types, including brass, steel, and zinc.
There are several finishes to choose from besides brass. Here are some of the top looks:
- Matte Black Coated Finish: This finish gives kitchens a modern look. It is a dull finish that won’t shine in the light, but the look is sure to delight. It pairs well with any color appliances.
- Classic Chrome: This finish is one of the most traditional on the market and popular for kitchens and bathroom fixtures. It is a shiny finish with little to no need to polish.
- Brushed Stainless Steel: Like a matte finish, brushed stainless steel doesn’t shine like chrome, but it pairs well with stainless steel appliances.
- Black Stainless: This finish is more like a pewter color than black. It is less common but still quite popular. It gives a sleek, modern look to your kitchen and pairs well with any color appliance.
- Champagne Bronze: This finish is a muted version of the classic bronze. It gives your faucet almost an aged look while still maintaining its beauty.
- Arctic Stainless: This finish has a silvery gloss with icy undertones that can go well with modern kitchen appliances with cool undertones.
- Brushed Gold: When you think of a gold finish, you probably think of a shiny finish. However, a brushed gold faucet has a muted finish and goes best with white or black appliances.
- Nickel Plated: People choose nickel plated more commonly in commercial kitchens because it is not only durable but also hides blemishes quite well, which is necessary for a busy kitchen.
When looking for faucets, check what finishes are available before evaluating the other product specs. You don't want to select a fixture only to discover it won't work in your kitchen. It's the best way to avoid disappointment if the faucet you want doesn't come in the finish you need.
