The standard plumbing hardware in our Ryan Homes community is chrome, so during the upgrade selection process we were able to consider upgrading to oil rubbed bronze hardware or brushed nickel hardware for all of the plumbing fixtures. We are going to have bronze hardware on our interior doors, but for the plumbing we wanted brushed nickel. Our fixtures will all be Moen brand, specifically from the Eva collection.
| Ryan Homes Upgraded Garden Soaking Tub (James Joyce Model) |
I am looking forward to our soaking garden tub. We have one now in our rental and I love to relax and catch up on TV shows on my iPad. The faucet shown is the Moen Eva Brushed Nickel Two Handle High Arc Roman Tub Faucet. The tub we are actually getting with our upgrade is the rectangular one below.
| Ryan Homes Oil Rubbed Bronze Option (Naples Model) |
Oil rubbed bronze hardware or (ORB) is known for showing water spots, so that is one thing to consider if you like the look. Choosing between these two finishes is mostly just personal preference.
