Is the stainless brushed or satin? I'm looking for that type of finish to go with my Hansgrohe Steel Optik finish.

To me is Brushed but not all the way. If you look at the picture the tip of it its the best justification of it.

I don't know the difference of these two, so I looked up eHow: "rushed nickel and satin nickel are two names for the same metal finish. Brushed nickel has a soft, matte sheen that's not as shiny as high-polish chrome finishes. The softer looked of brushed, or satin, nickel is often used in vintage-style home decor, but it may also be incorporated into and interior design with a modern look.Our bathroom is brushed nickel theme. It fits well but I cannot answer your question.

It is a brushed or satin look finish, not shiny at all. You can go to any hardware store and look at brushed nickel finishes and that is what it will look like. Good luck!

Yes, the stainless version I got matched the rest of the fixtures in my shower that were described at brushed nickel. I wound up piecing together a bunch of stuff from Danze, Delta, Koko, and Signature Hardware, everything that was described as stainless, brushed, nickel, brushed nickel, brushed stainless or matte stainless seems to match well enough that I can't discern any difference.

The finish is soft/satin type finish. It's not shiny. I have stainless steel appliances and it looks great. I was a bit concerned when I ordered, but they look great and work great.

Steel optik looks better. It's a liitle darker than stainless steel. Polished nickel is similar to chrome.

The satin nickel finish (surface roughness) is smooth but not shiny and doesn't exhibit a polishing "pattern" like stainless steel. However, this hardware looks terrific along side our stainless steel appliances. The satin nickel doesn't show fingerprints, which is important on drawer handles. One of stainless steel's largest metallurgical components is nickel, so the color is nearly identical. You will be happy with the results, as long as you're not putting stainless hardware next to satin nickel hardware because the polish finish is different. Good luck with your project.

The one you are looking at has a "satin nickel" finish. The one I purchased is "chrome". Same product, just different finishes.

I'm not 100% sure, but I bought the chrome version and I believe that's the 'shiny' version. From the looks of it, the stainless one is the brushed look. It might not be exactly like brushed nickel, but from the looks of it, it's brushed stainless steel. I hope someone who has purchased the stainless one can answer your question better!

it's a brushed SS,(more of a satin finish, not a smooth shiny polished finish.

When I ordered there was a drop down with a choice of brushed (satin) nickel or polished (shiny). I chose the brushed/satin and was pleased as it matched my brushed nickel faucet.

Brushed Finish is not shiny, it's dull satin finish. Polished Stainless Steel would be shiny.Kind Regards!

It is a brushed finish. It doesn't look like my stainless refrigerator (more grey and less reflective), but it looks pretty good!

It is a shiny mirror finish, not a brushed finish. FYI, brushed stainless is still a stainless steel, just a different finish.

I've had the brushed nickel finish for close to a year. I just cleaned the rust from mine, but the rust is due to the rusting of my shower curtain rod. My family also takes very hot showers!

Looks like the difference is the finish. This one says it's "satin nickel" which is a soft duller finish, and the one I have is shiny polished chrome. Hope this helps.

Personal choice but if me would get closest match to sink colour. so if shiny stainless steel chrome but if more matt finish then satin nickel.

It is more of a brushed nickle or a satin finish. Not that shiny stainless look.
