What's the difference between solid brass and blasted brass? How to choose a finish that changes the look of your lighting
About solid brass
Some CTSH product names include “Solid Brass.”
Solid brass refers to metal that is left in its state as machined from a solid block.
It is characterized by the beautiful shine of the brass itself, with an elegant gold-like luster and a striking presence.
・Bright and glamorous impression
・Strong glossy finish when new, highlighting its luxurious feel
・Gradually develops a deeper, more subdued color over time
Recommended for “those who want to fully enjoy the changes over time.”
About the blasted finish
The process of blasting fine glass beads to create a matte surface is called “blasting.”
It is characterized by a soft, subdued appearance with reduced shine.
・A subdued, matte, understated, and calm appearance
・A natural texture that blends easily with your interior
・Changes over time are relatively gradual and tend to occur evenly
Recommended for “those who prioritize a calm atmosphere.”
Precautions for the blasted finish
・Because the surface has fine irregularities, fingerprints, oils, and other substances may become noticeable.
→If concerned, wipe them off gently with a dry cloth.
・Because the blasted surface is delicate, rubbing it with abrasives or hard cloths may cause it to become shiny.
→We recommend wiping it lightly with a soft cloth for care.
