CF 2 New Finishes: Satin Bronze (PVD) and French Gold (FRG)

Dear California Faucets Showrooms

 

While the following has been unofficial, as you know, now it is official…

 

We are pleased to announce our ability to produce two beautiful new PVD finishes:  

 

1)         Satin Bronze (PVD),   (finish code:  SBZ)

 

This elegant finish is an extremely close match to Kohler’s popular “Brushed Bronze” finish. 

Over the years, we have received many inquiries whether we were able to match this finish.

Now the answer is happily “yes.”  

 

2)         French Gold (PVD),   (finish code:  FRG)

 

This elegant finish is an extremely close match to Kohler’s own French Gold finish. 

Over the years, we have received many inquiries whether we were able to match this finish.

Now the answer is happily “yes.”  

 

Requisite Disclaimer:   As you know, there is never a guarantee that a finish will be a 100% perfect match to another manufacturer’s finish, so please keep this in mind when educating customers.

 

Please note that these are niche finishes and should be treated as such.   This is not a major

product launch, rather a nice addition to our extensive line of decorative finishes.   The

main purpose is to offer customers another elegant choice, where helpful to them, allow

them to match to Kohler’s to finish a job, etc.    The fact that they are PVD, is an added

durable bonus.

 

 

 

Like all of our exotic PVD finishes, these will be priced in the premium finish category.   Estimated time of shipping for orders:   6-8 weeks.   This may be revised downward  in the future depending on order volume.

 

Thanks,

 

 

Noah
