Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between nickel and brushed steel sockets and switches?

Nickel and brushed steel are both cool, silver-toned finishes with a brushed texture, which is why they are frequently confused. The difference is in the material and the warmth of the tone. Brushed steel sockets and switches are made from stainless steel, giving them a clean, cool, slightly blue-grey appearance — the finish most commonly associated with modern and industrial interiors. Nickel is a brass-based plate with a nickel plating applied, which gives it a fractionally warmer, softer tone than brushed steel. Side by side, brushed steel is crisper and cooler; nickel is subtler and slightly warmer. If your kitchen appliances or other hardware are stainless steel, brushed steel will match more closely. If you are after a softer silver that sits between chrome and brushed steel, nickel is worth considering.

Which is more durable, nickel or brushed steel?

Both carry our 10-year warranty. Brushed steel is stainless throughout, so it has no plating that can wear. Nickel is plated, but the quality of finish on our ranges means it holds well under normal domestic use.
