Hi All
off topic, but sort of same topic. Â The new switch plates, faucets ,
sink drains etc, style is oiled bronze. Â Previously it was a nickle
type finish. Our entire house is oiled bronze. When I re-modeled our
kitchen, I bought bronze drains. About a month later I noticed a chip
in one of the drains. Today they are both nickle finish , the power
coating came off. Got to be careful of what you buy. Nickle finish
went out of style, so the manufacturer powder coated what they had left.
