Are you thinking of replacing the set of faucets in your bathroom? If so, I recommend that you install a brass bathroom faucet assembly. Bronze was one of the metals used in the first baths, for many centuries. In recent years, new varieties of metal faucets, such as, have largely replaced brass faucets. However, more and more people are returning to the timeless elegance of bronze.

Tired of having to scrub your supposed chrome or stainless steel faucet? Over time, these types of faucets look worse no matter how much maintenance you give them. This is not a problem with bronze. Bronze, with good care, actually looks better as it ages. This is largely a result of their inherent dark color, which is why the spots blend together.

Bronze is much sturdier than most other types of faucets. Take, stainless steel, for example. A large component of stainless steel is iron. Iron becomes brittle over time. Bronze is copper, which are much more durable.

A major problem with many other faucets is that they wear out over the years. Yes, stainless steel does not “stain”, but it is prone to scratching. What about nickel and even chrome faucets? These would be great if they were 100%. However, most of these are simply brass, under a nickel or chrome plating. This means that they chip over time, which is very unattractive. You could also buy a brass faucet.

Bronze is less likely to have this problem. This pure element is tough, making it extremely scratch resistant. And in the event that it does get chipped, it can be easily repaired with a polisher. Being a pure metal, you don’t have to worry too much about stripping.

Can you think of a metal as timeless and sophisticated as bronze? I guess she doesn’t. She has a beauty like no other, favored by royalty from centuries past. Sure, other faucets have that contemporary shine. However, that glow is sure to fade over time. Bronze has that certain rustic charm that I prefer to have.
