What is the difference between the various finishes available on your BernieDawg silent damper caps? Which do you recommend?
The caps are all made of the same stuff – a blend of about 60% stainless steel and 40% bronze. The “finishes” are just surface treatments that make the caps look different. Great for presentation as gifts, but pretty much just cosmetic and not too durable. The finishes will disappear with time as you burn the cap on your stove. If you are buying from i.materialise (as of 8/2024), I recommend the “Black Polish” or “Brown Polish” finish as they are more economical. Just remember… it’ll go away when used over time.
