If you are considering a metal faucet, sink or countertop for your kitchen or bath you may have heard the term "living finish" or perhaps "organic finish". Any metal besides stainless steel that is not coated with a sealer or a metal finish such as chrome will acquire a "patina" over time. This means the finish will change and evolve through exposure to the environment. Some call this "oxidation" (exposure to oxygen) but this patina process is also caused by other environmental factors that the metal surface might come into contact with as well as wear resulting from regular use. When applied to plumbing fixtures, the question comes up most often regarding copper sinks. Faucet and[..]
