Oil rubbed bronze grab bars are made from stainless steel with a powder coated oil rubbed bronze finish. The oil rubbed bronze finish is a blend of chocolate and espresso colors with flecks of gold in a muted powder finish. The stainless steel core provides the grab bar with strength, durability and rust-resistance, making it suitable for the wet & humid environment of a bathroom. The powder coating process is the most common method for applying a color finish to a grab bar. This involves spraying the stainless steel with a fine powder that is electrostatically charged. The powder adheres to the metal surface and is cured in an oven to create a durable finish. The oil rubbed bronze finish is a decorative coating applied to the metal core. It gives the grab bar a warm, aged bronze look that complements many bathroom styles. This finish is made of metallic pigments, which provide the bronze color, and resins & binders, which help adhere to the metal and protect it from wear & tear.
