Blutide Brushed Brass
Thirty six Blutide products are stocked in brushed brass, the narrowest of the three finish pages and the one shaped differently: accessories and wastes lead it, where black and gunmetal are tapware led. All of it comes through Vortex Sanitaryware, sole distributor for the brand in South Africa, and the wider catalogue is at Blutide.
Neo Is the Only Tapware Range in Brushed Brass
Eight Neo items cover one of each type: a standard short basin mixer, a high basin mixer, a basin concealed mixer with spout, a concealed shower mixer, a concealed diverter mixer, a round freestanding bath mixer with hand shower, a single hole sink mixer and a pullout sink mixer. Compare the wider choice on basin mixers and kitchen mixers.
That means the tapware decision is largely made for you. Satin, Silk, Lace, Moon, Spring, Shore, Crimson, Mixed Tide, Rip, Darling and Bore Tide have no brushed brass products at all, so if one of those is already specified, you either move the tapware to Neo or move the finish.
Accessories and Wastes Are the Strong Half
The Accessories 88 eight piece set runs in brushed brass, the same eight pieces offered in black: single and double robe hooks, towel ring, soap basket, toilet brush holder, paper holder without lid and 600mm single and double towel rails. A Ginger 600mm rail, a square rail, a round wall hook and a spare paper holder sit with them on bathroom accessories. On the plumbing side there are slotted and unslotted 32mm basin clicker wastes, a round bottle trap, a 40mm bath clicker, a bath filler and overflow, wall spouts, an outlet, a square shower trap and a 500mm shower channel.
Planning a Brushed Brass Room
The shower side is one 250mm head, round arms at 300mm and 400mm, a tubular hand shower and a 1.5m hose, with no rail set. Because the choice is this narrow, specify the visible pieces early and order them together rather than assuming a second option appears later. Nothing here overlaps with black or gunmetal, so changing finish means changing every item on the list.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Blutide taps come in brushed brass?
Neo, and only Neo. Eight items cover one of each type: a standard short basin mixer, a high basin mixer, a basin concealed mixer with spout, a concealed shower mixer, a concealed diverter mixer, a round freestanding bath mixer with hand shower, a single hole sink mixer and a pullout sink mixer. A Neap under tile stop tap sits alongside them. No other Blutide range is made in brushed brass on this store.
Can I match brushed brass taps with accessories?
Yes. The Accessories 88 set runs in brushed brass as a full eight pieces: single and double robe hooks, a towel ring, a soap basket, a toilet brush holder, a paper holder without a lid and 600mm single and double towel rails. That is the same eight offered in black. A Ginger 600mm rail, a square 600mm rail, a round wall hook and a spare paper holder are stocked as well.
Are there brushed brass wastes and traps?
There are. The plumbing side covers 32mm basin clicker wastes in slotted and unslotted versions, a round bottle trap, a 40mm bath clicker waste, a round bath filler and overflow, wall spouts at 200mm and 250mm, a round outlet, a square shower trap and a 500mm shower channel. There is no square bottle trap in brushed brass, although black does carry one.
Why is brushed brass smaller than the black and gunmetal ranges?
It is simply stocked at less depth here: 36 products against 105 in black and 73 in gunmetal. The shape is different too. Black and gunmetal each carry several tapware ranges, while brushed brass carries one and puts its weight into accessories and wastes. The practical consequence is fewer alternatives if a line is unavailable, so specify brushed brass items early rather than late.
Can I mix brushed brass with black or gunmetal in the same room?
Nothing stops you, and the three collections share no products, so no item carries more than one finish. If you do mix, the usual approach is to keep each group consistent, so all the shower items in one finish and all the basin items in another, rather than splitting a single fitting from its waste. Use the product titles to check, since Blutide writes the finish word into every one.
