Care & Cleaning

The Matte Black finish is achieved by powder coating – a special technique where the coating is applied electrostatically and is cured with heat, forming a tough finish or “skin." This finish is extremely hard, making it much tougher than conventional paint. The Matte Black powder coat is applied to a brass surface.

The Tuscan Brass finish is a “living finish” achieved by chemically darkening the surface. The result is a finish that resembles aged bronze. This color is very dark and can vary from a deep brown to a dark gray. As a “living finish” the finish color will continue to change over time, particularly where touched.

Unlacquered Brass is raw brass that is polished and left unlacquered allowing for natural aging over time. Often referred to as a “living finish,” unlacquered brass will take on a patina that will vary with exposure to sun, touch, oxygen and other airborne particles. It will age unevenly.

The French Brass finish is a raw brass that has been buffed and muted by soaking in a brass aging solution and protected by a wax coating. It is a “living finish” that is unlacquered with a wax coating and will continue to age over time. It will age unevenly.

Antique Gold is a durable Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process that is harder and more corrosion resistant than coatings from a galvanic process. The coating has a high impact strength, excellent abrasion resistance and is very durable. Antique Gold has muted bronze tonality with a brushed patina that reflects an aged finish. This stable finish does not tarnish. (PVD)

Limited lifetime warranty

To preserve the look of your product, it should be cleaned with a mild soap, rinsed with clear water and dried with a soft cloth. For best care, wipe dry after use. To avoid water spotting, wax regularly. Do not use products with abrasives, ammonia, bleach or alcohol. Important: Do not use abrasive, irritant or corrosive products (such as detergents or other products containing ammonia).

Always rinse and/or clean the faucets after having sprayed cleaning products onto other surrounding surfaces, including mirrors and ceramic tiles. On vertical surfaces, spray with a wax on a weekly basis. Do not rub or buff. PVD or Physical Vapor Deposition is a process of coating a surface with a durable coating that is very strong and resists chemicals and abrasion. While very durable, do not use abrasives, ammonia, bleach or alcohol for cleaning.

ROHL products may be used outside; However, when installed outside, the warranty is no longer offered. Finishes with PVD will wear well in most conditions, but UV sunlight, rain, snow, and freezing weather can compromise the finish. If possible, avoid direct sunlight. If in freezing temperatures, winterize fixtures by removing cartridges, drain all water or store fixtures indoors. Pat dry after use to avoid hard water spots. A spray wax on vertical surfaces is  recommended. If minerals or salt are accumulating on the fixture, clean by applying a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar, then pat dry. Do not soak the fixture in the vinegar solution or allow the vinegar solution to soak on the finish. Spray weekly with fresh water, wipe dry and apply Flitz Wax to avoid hard water spotting. Important: Do not use products that are corrosive like abrasives, ammonia, bleach or alcohol.
