Brass and bronze are especially popular materials for custom range hoods and sinks. This range of alloys comes in a variety of different grades and we use several to get certain looks upon our vast selection of finishes. There isn't too much difference in appearances on the variety of materials once you get into the patinated brass. However, from a natural tone perspective, bronze is typically going to have a softer tone whereas brass is going to pure golden.
