Faucets come in different finishes including satin nickel and brushed nickel. But is there really a difference between the satin nickel faucets and the brushed nickel faucets, in terms of not only the finish but also the durability and maintenance.

Satin nickel a popular choice for contemporary bathrooms however, it require more maintenance to keep its shine.

In general the satin finish faucets are 100% matte finish meaning you will not see any shine from which ever angel you look and under any direct or indirect light you look at it while the brushed nickel faucet although in general it is considered matte however you will still be able to see a slight shine to it depending on the light or the angel you are looking at it. The main reason why the satin vs the brushed nickel faucet has such a variation is mainly due to the application process.
