Cheaper Isn't Always Better
Brass is cheaper to produce and can be cast to look like bronze. Many plumbing manufacturers who market bronze products are actually selling a brass forgery. They are able to lower their production cost, and since brass will deteriorate, they have a guaranteed replacement market.
Here are some reasons to choose bronze over brass:
- Bronze is stronger and more corrosion resistant than brass
- Bronze is more scratch resistant than brass
- Brass deteriorates over time and can result in expensive replacement/repair costs
