Brushed or Chrome

When it comes to choosing a tap for your kitchen, there are many factors to consider, including the finish. Two popular finishes are chrome and brushed nickel (also known as Brushed Steel or Silk Steel) , but how do you know which one to choose? The decision may depend on the colour or material of your sink, as well as your personal style. At  Taps and Sinks Online Limited, we supply genuine spare tap parts in chrome and brushed nickel to help you maintain and repair your existing tap, regardless of its finish.  You can see all our Spare Parts by Brand 

Chrome Taps:

Chrome taps have a sleek, modern appearance with a shiny, reflective finish that can add a touch of elegance to your kitchen. They are easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for busy households. Chrome is also more affordable than other finishes, making it a good option if you’re on a budget. Some sinks, such as stainless steel, pair well with chrome taps.

Brushed Nickel Taps:

Brushed nickel taps have a soft, matte finish that hides fingerprints and watermarks. They are versatile and can work well with a variety of kitchen styles, from contemporary to traditional. Brushed nickel is also a great choice if you’re looking to add a warm, sophisticated look to your kitchen. While this finish is typically a little bit more expensive than others, it and may better match a sink that has a brushed or matte finish.

Ultimately, the finish you choose for your kitchen tap will depend on your personal preferences, budget and the overall design of your kitchen, including the sink colour and material.
