Satin Nickel Style
Today's satin nickel chemistries do not rely on surface finishing to produce the satin appearance. Instead, emulsions of hydrocarbons are used to impart small pits into the nickel-plated deposit. Depending on the intensity of the pitting, satin nickel can produce a light or a dark appearance.

When combined with a bright or black chrome , satin nickel offers a robust range of color options. From light gray or shiny to a frosty black, satin nickel provides exceptional style and versatility to meet contemporary or traditional design requirements. Read more
