Colonial Bronze Reminds Kitchen Designers It Already Solved the Stainless Steel Hardware Problem.

Colonial Bronze is reminding kitchen designers, decorative plumbing and hardware showrooms, and homeowners that its hand-worked Nickel Stainless finish, 15CC, is available across its full range of hardware.

Stainless steel appliances have become a defining feature of premium to luxury kitchens, and today's homeowners, armed with saved Instagram posts and dog-eared design magazines, increasingly want their cabinet and door hardware finished to match the appliances. Replicating a true stainless steel look in cast hardware is notoriously difficult and expensive, and most manufacturers don't attempt it, leaving the market with limited, simplified designs.

Colonial Bronze has quietly offered a solution for years. Finish 15CC is hand-worked at the company's Torrington, Connecticut factory to get as close to a true stainless steel appearance as cast hardware can achieve. Viewed alongside a stainless steel appliance, the finish reads as a custom paired match.

“Our Nickel Stainless finish isn't outsourced — it's hand-worked by our own talented plating team, our own process, in our own factory. When our customers ask for something new, we don't have to get in line or ask anyone's permission. We just create it, ourselves.”

— Jamie Gregg, CEO, Colonial Bronze

15CC is available across every style and application Colonial Bronze offers, including cabinet pulls, cabinet knobs, and appliance, door, and shower pulls, as well as leather-accented hardware through the company's Tanner's Craft collection, www.tannerscraft.com. Like every Colonial Bronze finish, 15CC is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Designers and homeowners can view 15CC across Colonial Bronze's product lines, and locate a showroom, at www.colonialbronze.com.
