Would like to hear from StreetEasiers who have satin finish bathroom fixtures and faucets. I'm gut renovating my bathroom and my designer and architect are suggesting satin nickel. Other people say don't do it! Too much spotting, too much upkeep! But they are talking about "brushed nickel." Looked up the difference and read, "Generally speaking (and this varies from manufacturer to manufacturer) Satin Nickel is an applied finish with lacquer to dull the normally shiny nickel finish whereas true brushed nickel is brushed with a tool, giving it the "brushed" look. Otherwise - -difference in terminology among manufacturers." Thoughts ? For those who have satin nickel, are you happy? Regrets?
I have satin nickel finished fixtures in my master bathroom and it does spot. I can't figure out any way to get rid of the spots and/or prevent new ones. I am disappointed with them. I also have brushed nickel fixtures in my powder room and it doesn't spot at all. I wouldn't recommend the regular finish only the brushed nickel finish. PS, does anyone out there have any suggestions on how to get rid of the spotting on nickel fixtures?
