CalFaucets (CF) PVD Satin Bronze (SBZ) finish was on my short list, but I decided on Polished Nickel (PN), instead, for my bathroom remodel. SBZ is a premium finish and has a long lead time for production (8 weeks compared to 1-2 weeks for PN).

No other brand has a brushed bronze finish that matches exactly to SBZ. That was the dealbreaker for me. If you can find everything you want at CF, then it will be a non-issue.

In particular, I was not able to find a good color match for shower hardware (clamps, hinges). I considered Kartner's in Prosecco finish for the shower hardware, but local glaziers prefer to use their usual suppliers (CRLaurence or FHC). CF offers shower door handles, but the choices are limited.

I am attaching photos I took in the local showroom. The 1st photo shows CF widespread faucet in the Del Mar collection with white porcelain on the levers, compared to a Kartners appliance pull in Prosecco finish (#35). The 2nd photo is CF shower valve trim and showerhead in the Tamalpais collection. 3rd photo shows color comparison with Kartner's finish choices

Satin bronze in a PVD finish is a good choice for a bathroom if you want it to stay even over time. It holds up a lot better to cleaning and hard water than a living finish, which will change color as it wears. The main thing is to order all the trim from the same line at once, so the tone matches across the faucet, shower trim, and accessories. It is also worth confirming the lead time before you demo, since those finishes are often made to order.
