Brushed Nickel: The Ultimate Kitchen Sink Indulgence

Hand-hammered by our artisans, Native Trails’ Brushed Nickel sinks are more luxurious and warmer-toned than a stainless steel or chrome sink. The texture not only begs to be touched but provides durability against those everyday nicks and scratches. It is also wonderfully versatile—working in a contemporary space just as well as in a traditional design.
“Brushed Nickel adds an element of warmth to the space,” says Lauren Villano, senior designer with Jarrett Design, Inc. “It doesn’t feel as cold and sterile as stainless steel can. It provides a softness that many clients with more traditional spaces are craving.”
We talked to several interior designers about why they continue to use our Brushed Nickel sinks in their kitchens.

NEW – Luxnetic Showerhead Information from Newport Brass

NEWPORT BRASS  – The new Luxnetic Showerheads (#2157, 2158, 2159) are selling very well.
All brass construction allows us to offer all 27 Newport finishes.  Each model is WaterSense compliant and is equipped with three different spray modes:

1.       Spray Mode – Water is dispersed robustly through the outer 3 rings of grey spray nozzles.

2.       Luxnetic Mode – Water is dispersed through the 6 black Luxnetic engines in the center of the showerhead.  The water is directed through specially engineered chambers that oscillate and sculpt the water as it exits the showerhead.  The result is a dense, concentrated wave-like spray pattern that creates the feeling of more water without using more.  

3.       Pause Mode – Water is not stopped completely and water will drip from some of the outer grey spray nozzles.   Water saving feature for those who want to save water while lathering up.

Emtek Update

Here are the upcoming new price books effective November 15 2019.  The TARIFF is added to the price .
