Brass

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc with varying quantities to achieve different chemical and electrical properties. It has been favored throughout history for the bright gold appearance. Brass is corrosion resistant, has a low melting point, and is easy to work with. These characteristics have made it popular in all kinds of decorative hardware. Brass is our favorite metal and we use solid brass in chain ,house letters ,house numbers ,cabinet knobs , anddoor knobs.

IRON

Iron is the most popular metal of all time (it's call the Iron Age after all). We know iron was used as far back as 4000 years ago, is the primary ingredient in steel, and is even a requirement for life. Iron naturally has a rough, dark appearance but can be polished to a sheen. It is an incredibly strong material ideal for heavy lifting and items that need to be durable. We use iron in our chain  anddrawer pulls.

STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless steel is a specific category of iron alloys that have special properties. Its primary characteristic is a passive film which forms on the surface of the metal and protects it from the elements. This chemical reaction happens naturally and will self-heal, which is why even scratched stainless steal won't rust — unlike steel with a protective coating. We sell stainless steel utility chains which are strong and weatherproof.

STEEL

Steel is a major industrial metal that has been used for thousands of years for its high strength and durability. What once was used in swords and spears is now used in skyscrapers, bridges, and other infrastructure. Though we're not bridge builders, we also use steel for its workability and strength. Our steel chains come in a wide variety of finishes that allow you to take advantage of steel's massive strength in almost any color or metallic finish you'd like.

ZINC

Zinc is one of the most reflective finishes available. The zinc finish is as reflective as polished chrome but has a softer color that is slightly blueish. Zinc is a very popular finish for all kinds of hardware, especially bathroom fixtures and other all-metal items. We sell one chain with a zinc finish.​​

WHITE

​​White is a matte finish that is completely non-reflective. This is a powder coating that is achieved by spraying the metal with a finely ground powder and then curing it with heat. The result is a hard matte finish that is completely uniform. We sell many of our steel chains with a white finish.

STAINLESS STEEL

​​Stainless steel is a special iron alloy that has useful characteristics. Our stainless steel finish is only available on products made from stainless steel. It will appear darker than steel and is less reflective than most other finishes. We sell some stainless steel utility chains which can bear heavy loads and are weatherproof.

NICKEL

Nickel is a metallic finish applied by electroplating. It is a reflective silver metal with a slight warm tone when compared to polished chrome. Polished nickel is a very attractive finish that is what most people imagine when they think of shiny metal hardware. By popular demand, you can find this finish on most of our chandelier chains.

CHROME

Polished Chrome is an extremely popular finish — for bathroom fixtures in particular. It's a smooth mirror-like metallic finish that is brighter than polished nickel or aluminum. Polished chrome differs from regular chrome because it is more reflective and has a blueish-silver color instead of plain silver.

BRASS

Polished Brass has a bright gold color with a reflective finish. This is the most popular kind of natural brass finish and is probably the image that comes to mind when you hear the word "brass." It's polished to a shine that will patina naturally over time, becoming darker, unless it's lacquered.

DACROMET

Dacromet is a simple unassuming finish. It applies an even coloration that looks and feels like people would expect metal to look and feel. Grey is darker than nickel and a tad less reflective. When compared to a metal finish like antique nickel, grey has a more even color distribution that makes it easy to match with other items.

RED COPPER

Red copper is a beautiful metal but is pretty expensive. You can still have the copper look without the copper price tag with a copper finish. We achieve the copper finish through a technique called electroplating that perfectly wraps our brass chain with a copper plating.

BLACK

Black is a timeless finish and is by far our most popular color. We have two black finishes: Black and Oil Bronze Black. This black finish is achieved by spraying the metal with a special paint mixture made with fine black powder. The powder coating is then cured by heat, creating a completely uniform black finish that has a slight sheen. You can find products with this finish all over our site, but black chandelier chain is the most popular.

ANTIQUE COPPER

Copper naturally oxidizes when exposed, which turns the metal from its characteristic shiny orange to a matte green — this is why the Statue of Liberty is green. Antique copper is a darker copper finish that makes it look naturally aged without being oxidized. The finish has a lovely variation from a deep bronze-like brown to lighter copper-brown accents in some of the bends or wrinkles in the metal. Antique copper is loved for its gorgeous brown tones and we supply it on many chandelier chains.

ANTIQUE BRASS

Unlacquered brass naturally antiques, but you don't have to wait. Our antique brass finish is darker than raw brass and has an organic aged appearance. This finish varies smoothly between a deep-yellow and bronzed-yellow which looks quite lovely paired with antique hardware and fixtures. Sometimes this finish is referred to as Dull Brass or Old English.
