Jörg´s original intention was to develop a set for a bathroom, but these pieces turned out to be nice in a hallway or kitchen as well. Our hardware is forged of solid mild carbon steel, gently grinded, wire-brushed and waxed - in Pittsburgh. Substantial and rugged pieces. The base is a rectangular wall plate with four screw holes. This base matches many more pieces so that they can also fit next to each other. As the surface is waxed and the pieces should not be used with wet items and care is required when using them in the bathroom. We recommend annually waxing, or alternatively we provide clear coating upon request. Check out our ceramic tile section (LINK), our hardware can match the tile shape and vice versa. That way, the base of the hardware fits in between the tiles with a flush surface.
