Living Finishes are unprotected and intended to change in appearance over time.
What is a Living Finish?
Living finishes are intended to change in appearance over time, allowing each piece to evolve and develop a unique warmth and character. GRAFF’s Living Finishes are Unfinished Brass (UB), and Unfinished Brushed Brass (UBB).
How is a Living Finish Made?
Unfinished Brass (UB) and Unfinished Brushed Brass (UBB) Living Finishes are raw brass, left unlacquered to allow a gradual, irreversible change towards the look of natural brass. These finishes will oxidize and vary in color based on use and the surrounding environment.
Living Finish Care
Unfinished Brass (UB) and Unfinished Brushed Brass (UBB) Living Finish Care
Over time, brass surfaces develop a distinctive irregular patina: areas that are regularly touched will tend to lighten, while less frequently used parts will gradually darken. Water drops leave dark marks on the natural patina; to avoid this, do not allow water to dry on the faucet surfaces.
To clean Unfinished Brass (UB) or Unfinished Brushed Brass (UBB), follow the instructions for Gunmetal (GM) and Gunmetal Distressed (GMD). Occasionally revive and protect your faucet by applying a wax suited to brass surfaces, using a soft cloth.
The durability and appearance of living finishes are strictly connected with the user’s care. The more you take care of your faucet, the longer the finish will maintain its original appearance.
