What is Polished Brass Hardware?

Polished brass hardware is crafted from solid brass or brass-plated alloys, giving doors, windows, and cabinets a distinctive gold-like shine. It is used across door handles, knobs, knockers, letterplates, escutcheons, and accessories to achieve a consistent style throughout your property.

Pros & Cons of Polished Brass

Pros: Elegant appearance, corrosion resistance, antimicrobial benefits, long-lasting strength, and ease of coordinating with hinges and accessories.

Cons: Requires regular cleaning, can show scratches, may tarnish in damp areas if unlacquered, and is generally more expensive than zinc or stainless alternatives.

Comparison with Other Finishes

Polished brass offers a brighter, reflective finish compared with antique brass, a warmer tone than satin brass, and a more traditional appeal than polished chrome. Each finish brings its own style depending on whether you want aged character, subtle warmth, or modern shine.

Trusted UK Brands

This collection includes leading names in ironmongery such as Carlisle Brass, Heritage Brass, Frelan Hardware, and From The Anvil, ensuring reliable quality and consistency across your polished brass fittings.
