The Satin Nickel finish is nickel plating on brass that has been lacquer coated and made to appear dull. Satin Nickel is sometimes referred to as brushed nickel. It is similar in appearance to brushed stainless.

Brushed implies the parts has been "Wire Brushed" and directional lines of abrasion can be seen.

Satin Nickel is electro-deposited on the part from a Nickel salt solution usually Nickel Sulfamate. The electro-deposit is "Satin" or "Velvety" in appearance and shows no marks or lines from abrasion. Satin and brushed are the same finish. Satin and brushed are the same finish.

Nickel and Stainless steel are different metals and thus have slightly different colors. Stainless steel is often offered in a brushed finish which looks similar to satin/brushed nickel. Nickel also comes in a polished finish. If you are looking to match bathroom fixtures with a brushed finish you are probably want satin nickel. If you are looking to match kitchen appliances you probably want stainless steel.

What is the difference between brushed nickel and stainless steel faucets?

The difference is colour. Brushed nickel has a hue closer to beige and brushed stainless is closer to chrome. There is another difference, as well. Brushed nickel is easier to clean and does not show water spots and fingerprints as easily. It does not require constant polishing to look clean. While less shiny, it fits well with granite, slate, and other stone counters to give a softer look to a kitchen or bathroom.


Do polished chrome and polished nickel match?

Not well. Nickel has a different color than chrome. It is not a "true" silver. Also every manufacturer has a different shade of nickel so you can struggle to even match nickel between product lines. Stay with one or the other. Chrome is certainly less expensive and still looks great.
