See Why Pewter Hardware is the Perfect Choice

Are you wondering why pewter hardware is different than stainless steel or chrome hardware?  Trying to decide which finish is best for your space?  Here's some useful information about pewter hardware that will help you determine if the pewter knob or pull that you love will best suit your space.  

- Pewter is actually a combination of metals including zinc, tin, copper and lead.  

- Pewter hardware has a low melting point, which ensures that it'll look great in any kitchen (even if you can't find your flame-tamer!)

- Pewter knobs and pulls often have a duller (more grey-blue) color than other silver-toned metals, such as chrome, nickel or stainless steel.  This makes pewter a great choice for homeowners who are looking for a silver hue that is naturally matted.

- Because pewter is very malleable, it is able to form hardware designs that other metals cannot offer.  Homeowners looking for cute, detailed or unique cabinet knobs or pulls are likely to find what they're looking for in a Betsy Fields pewter pull or knob.

- The intrinsically soft nature of pewter lends it to scratching during the normal course of use.  These gentle scratches often give pewter hardware a living, weathered look that many homeowners appreciate as a part of their home décor.

- Pewter cabinet pulls and knobs can be cleaned quickly and easily with regular household cleaning products.
