Is 'clean steel' better than stainless steel?
Comments (4)This is the model we ordered, but haven't had it delivered yet. After looking at all the choices out there, this one seemed to suit our needs the best, but I can't speak to actual usage as yet. Delivery is 10/2. I think the clean steel will blend with stainless fairly well, it doesn't shine quite like stainless, but it has the silver metallic appearance - just duller. If you are wanting matchy matchy, it may not be the one for you as far as pairing it up with real SS....See MoreStainless steel that doesn't show fingerprints?
Comments (3)I don't know about Sears or GE, but I think Samsung has a "stainless-look" finish that's supposed to look like SS but not show fingerprints. I saw what I think was the finish about 6 months ago on a refrigerator and if it isn't up against a SS appliance, it will pass. However, if it's next to true SS, you can tell the difference. I seem to recall that some people here (or on the Appliances Forum) purchased one. Anyone? You could try posting this on the Appliances Forum as well. I know we're discouraged from cross-posting, but the Appliances and Kitchens forums are so inter-related that you almost have to post in both places where appliances are concerned. Different people seem to "haunt" the two forums, with only a few crossovers now and then....See MoreGrohe SuperSteel vs RealSteel finish color difference
Comments (0)I'm looking for a stainless steel faucet for my remodeled kitchen and Grohe's Ladylux3 seems a good choice. However, in the show room the "stainless steel" ones look a bit yellowish (less than Satin Nickel but still). I've also seen pictures that are not yellow. Could this be that one is SuperSteel and the other is RealSteel? I cannot find conclusive answers to this, and I know pictures could be misleading due to lighting conditions. Does anyone know if the two finishes have different tones and one could be more yellow than the other? Thanks....See MoreWood species for doors or do I go fiberglass or steel?
Comments (4)I prefer fiberglass. Where is the home located? The upper end Therma stuff is pretty nice. I really like the Embarq and Signet series from Provia as well as the Waudena slabs in their fiberglass. I can't see a really good reason to go with steel or even wood unless you are an absolute purist on the look. The fiberglass is so good these days and can be stained to a near perfect match with the wood options....See Morecluelessincolorado
