What is the difference between Oil Rubbed Bronze (US-10B) and Aged Bronze?
A. Schlage’s Oil Rubbed Bronze (US-10B) is a living finish – it will react with its environment (humidity, heat, wear, etc). The finish is designed to oxidize and will turn darker and shinier than it is delivered, and will do so over a period of months. For customers who want variability in their finish and hardware with a distressed appearance, Oil Rubbed Bronze (US-10B) is a good choice. For customers seeking a fixed, factory finish, Aged Bronze (716) is a better choice. Aged Bronze is designed to look like Oil Rubbed Bronze (US-10B) after a year of oxidization and wear, and will not change appreciably over time.
