Hotdrop: gun metal taps from Meir
For years, we've been selling the most beautiful and reliable products from the Australian Meir brand. After a wide range of faucets , including matte black , rose gold , and copper , the brand is adding a new color to its palette. A little teaser: we think this color is a stunner! It's gun metal.
What is gun metal anyway?
Before we delve further into the new gun metal range , it's important to first take a closer look at the material Meir has based its new color on. Meir's gun metal color is a compromise between matte black and a chrome finish. This is due to the unique composition of metals. This composition has changed somewhat over the years, but essentially consists of copper, tin, and zinc. It is also colloquially known as G-metal, as this type of bronze was once used for ammunition.
The result is a sleek, intense color that appears different from every angle. The darkness of matte black combined with the lighter shade of chrome. Two existing colors that combine to create a new and easy-to-apply shade. It's no wonder we're seeing this gun metal color increasingly often in interiors.
Why gun metal was added
For some time now, it's been very trendy to opt for a different color for faucets or shower sets, rather than a chrome one. Take matte black, for example, which has been rapidly gaining popularity. The rugged gun metal now seems to be following the same path. This unique color is becoming increasingly popular. Naturally, we can't afford to lag behind. That's why we're proudly launching a whole range of gun metal products. From bath faucets and shower sets to a whole range of accessories ; all in the same deep gun metal colour.

Gun metal products with PVD coating
Anyone who knows Meir knows that quality is a top priority for this brand. This is always reflected in their products. For all their gunmetal products, Meir chooses the incredibly strong PVD coating for the base of DZR brass. PVD stands for "Physical Vapor Deposition." This state-of-the-art technology uses evaporation to apply multiple, wafer-thin layers of liquid metal to the gunmetal products. The coating is very popular, and for good reason. PVD is known for its strength, high scratch resistance, and exceptional corrosion resistance.
