Matte black bathroom hardware is more than just a trend, it’s a bold design choice that’s here to stay. Its sleek, modern look adds depth and sophistication, making it a favourite for homeowners across Ireland looking to add a contemporary edge to their bathrooms.

Why Choose Matte Black?

Timeless Elegance: Matte black stands out from traditional chrome or brushed nickel, offering a dramatic contrast that complements everything from white subway tiles to warm natural stone.
Versatility: Whether your style is minimalist, industrial, or classic, matte black fixtures blend seamlessly and elevate the entire bathroom aesthetic.
Fingerprint and Water Spot Resistance: Unlike polished finishes, matte black is excellent at hiding fingerprints and water spots, keeping your fittings looking cleaner for longer—perfect for busy households.
Durability: High-quality matte black hardware is built to last with finishes that resist scratching and corrosion, maintaining their beauty for years.

Popular Matte Black Hardware Options

• Taps and shower arms
• Towel rails and hooks
• Toilet roll holders
• Door handles and drawer pulls
• Shower frames and trim

Cleaning and Maintenance Tips for Matte Black Hardware

While matte black hardware is more forgiving with fingerprints and watermarks, cleaning correctly is crucial to preserve its finish:
• Use a soft, damp cloth for daily wiping; avoid abrasive sponges or brushes.
• Mild soap or a gentle bathroom cleaner is best—harsh chemicals or bleach can damage the finish.
• Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots or mineral buildup.
• Regularly check for any signs of wear or damage and address immediately to maintain the look.
