What is the difference between the different finishes?
Below is an overview
Electropolished Finish - An Electropolished finish involves the stainless steel fittings being placed in a bath of specialized chemicals with a high-intensity electrical current running through it. This process peels back the outer layer of the stainless steel to increase the proportion of chromium on the surface. This type of process results in a smoother, shinier and brighter surface finish, as well as enhancing the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel.
Machine Vibratory Polish - This polishing involves placing the stainless steel fittings in a vibratory polishing machine with a polishing compound and ceramic stones, the fittings are then washed off. This gives the stainless steel a smooth and shiny finish with excellent corrosion resistance.
Matte Finish - Also a type of machine polish, matte finish uses rollers to give the fitting more of a satin grain finish. This type of finish is used for durability, low maintenance, and overall aesthetically appealing look.
Galvanised - This is a process of applying a protective coating to steel or iron. The coating is made from zinc and is used to halt the formation of rust. Galvanization is important because it provides long-lasting protection for steel and iron products.
