Northwest Cages..

[Saemma]

Saroj, I checked the Description of the finished on my Freedom Cage and it is called Brushed stainless steel.
I guess that explains the lack of water spots.

a plain, clean microfiber cloth is very good for buffing water spots off stainless.

Are water spots normal for SS cages?

 

[Saemma]

I know that when I was shopping for a stainless steel fridge, the preference was Brushed Stainless steel so I wouldn't spend every minute of the day wiping it down.

yes, I have a playstand with a stainless pan, you have to towel dry or you'll end up buffing out water spots. How bad it is will depend on the water in your area. I don't have to wipe as many spots off from use since I fill the cups with filtered water, but I have to be careful after I wash it.

Im located in the rainiest place on earth...well.... maybe in the states

What exactly does "Brushed SS" mean? Sorry if I dont understand..

And I wonder if John does this with his cages? Or would do it for someone's cage, and I wonder what the price would be...

That makes sense. Towel drying will make a difference.

polished would have a mirror shine to it, brushed has a duller look to it.
Also instead of a smooth surface brushed SS will have a textured look and feel to it, like a paint brush leaves behind.

I'm trying to figure out the lock style on the Northwest Cages. What do you guys think?

Trouts right. Brushed is the way to go. Polished looks nice if you don't touch it.

After four months of waiting, I'm back looking for a couple new cages.

I don't think that NW offers the brushed look but I will ask John.

It's very similar to the style on my King's cage, and it's worked well.

Thanks Trout.

That is one thing I dont like about SS. My SS fridge shows every finger print and water spot.
