Customers often ask whether we should buy polished or satin stainless steel spigots. A frequently asked question is “which looks better, varnish or satin?” The answer is quite subjective – some like it bright and shiny, while others prefer a more minimal and raw look.

In our view, the decision becomes a pretty simple one if you are using the spigots near the ocean – use a spigot with a glossy finish. Therefore … A satin finish is obtained by brushing the metal surface, leaving small indentations on the surface. Although these surfaces are carefully sealed, pipes are more susceptible to rust and can often develop "tea stains" if the salt content is high. 

Here the particles remain in the satin finish of the faucet and allow a small amount of water to come into contact with the unprotected steel. Little by little, tiny specks of rust appear on the thorns, creating a rather ugly look. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you choose a polished finish if you are installing the glass pool fence in a high salinity environment. The polished spigots are very well shielded from the elements and you don't have to worry about rust.

In the end, for most people, the solution will come down to appearances. Both polished and satin-coated tubes are identical in shape and thickness. So unless you're near the ocean and aren't worried about marks on a polished spigot, it depends on whether you want a bright, glossy finish or a softer finish.
