Unlike brass, which is made up of copper and zinc, bronze cabinet hardware is an alloy of copper and tin and is therefore much heavier and more durable. This makes bronze hardware the best option for high use areas. Bronze hardware will not weaken or develop cracks with extended heavy use. Also, unlike brass, bronze hardware requires no polishing and just a wipe with a damp cloth is enough to bring the shine back. Bronze is also very good for decorative hardware. Over time, the metal develops a greenish patina that not only protects the metal it also gives the hardware an attractive antique look.
