One of the details that requires the most attention and makes the difference once you have opted for a stainless steel tap is the external finish. If you love metals with matt details and handcrafted features, the best solution is brushed steel.

In today’s article, we will discover how this process is carried out and why you should choose it for your tap.

How is brushed stainless steel made?

The elegant finish of brushed steel is the result of careful craftsmanship using abrasive paper and cloth of varying grits. Each step of the process is strictly controlled to ensure a consistently precise and uniform result.

More specifically, this type of processing is carried out using specialised machinery designed to remove excess material from the surface of the metal. Another advantage of brushing is that it restores the original finish, removing any surface scratches that may have appeared over time.

A common practice during this procedure is to use specific polishing pastes or waxes alongside the abrasive brushes in order to significantly increase the final shine of the metal.

The major advantage of this type of processing is its uniqueness. In fact, the manual skill required to achieve the brushing effect means that every design product that benefits from it is one of a kind. A true piece of craftsmanship!

Why choose a brushed steel tap?

A tap made of brushed steel not only has all the qualities of a stainless steel product (read the article explaining why the best taps are made of stainless steel), but also has a unique matt finish which, given the manufacturing process, is unrepeatable from one piece to another.

Brushing certainly has an important aesthetic function, suitable for those who love elegant and refined objects (in fact, it is often chosen for furniture and interior design elements), but it is also chosen for its high practicality. A brushed steel tap is a product that is perfectly suited to both indoor and outdoor environments, is fingerprint-resistant and easy to clean. In short, it is an object that combines sophisticated design and craftsmanship with practicality and functionality.
