Deltana KH2006 KH Series Traditional 24" Double Towel Bar, Solid Brass, Limited

Solid brass through and through, both the bar and the posts. That is the material that matters in a bathroom, where plated pot metal pits at the mounting posts once moisture gets behind the finish. Deltana lists the KH2006 as brass material and brass substrate, so the finish sits on brass rather than on zinc or steel.

Deltana classes the KH2006 as residential. For apartments, condos, single family and short term rental baths it is the right kind of product. For a high traffic public restroom, where a bar gets leaned on and yanked, buyers normally specify commercial grade washroom accessories instead. Property managers fitting out unit bathrooms are the intended use here.

The KH2006 belongs to Deltana's KH Series, so the ring, hook, paper holder and other bath pieces in that same series carry the matching traditional post and rosette design. If you are standardizing a building or a run of units, ordering the accessories out of the one series is what keeps the rosettes and the finish consistent from bath to bath. Mixing in an Emtek or Orca set on the same wall will not line up visually, even in the same finish name.

No. The KH2006 is a complete 24 inch double towel bar, bar and posts together. If a single post snapped off an existing bar, you want a post on its own, such as the Delaney Denali 1100 Series towel bar post, or a bar only piece like the Delaney Cascade 300 Series square towel bar. Those only work with their own matching series, so match the part to the bar you already have on the wall rather than buying a full assembly.

The Emtek Traditional Brass Double Towel Bar is the nearest match. Both are double-bar traditional-style brass towel bars, the KH2006 in solid brass and the Emtek unit in the Traditional Bath Hardware series. The KH2006 is a fixed 24 inch bar, so confirm the Emtek length you order matches the 24 inch stud spread you already have marked out.

The KH2006 carries two bars. For a single-bar opening, the Emtek Modern Brass Towel Bar and the Emtek Transitional Brass Towel Bar are both single towel bars in brass, from the Modern Brass and Transitional Bath Hardware lines respectively. Pick on the style of the rest of the room, since both mount as a single rail rather than the stacked pair the KH2006 gives you.

Two other 24 inch bars work for a fleet spec. The Delaney Congaree 200 Series 24 inch Towel Bar Set and the Orca Hardware Camano 24 inch Towel Bar Set are both stated at 24 inch, same as the KH2006. The Delaney and Orca items ship as sets; the KH2006 is a double bar in solid brass with a traditional profile, so hold whichever one you choose across every unit rather than mixing, since the post shapes differ by line.

Two items in the same family are partial pieces. The Delaney Denali 1100 Series Towel Bar Post Only is the post alone, and the Delaney Cascade 300 Series Towel Bar Only (Square) is the bar without the posts. Neither one replaces the KH2006, which is a complete 24 inch double towel bar. Order those only when you are replacing a damaged component on an existing Denali or Cascade installation.

The KH2006 is a 24 inch bar, so plan the wall run around that nominal length plus the width of the two posts at each end. Being a double bar, it also needs clearance out from the wall for two rails rather than one, so keep it off a wall that a door swings against or a vanity edge crowds.

A double carries two rails on the same pair of posts, so one set of wall anchors hangs two bath sheets instead of one. That is the reason to pick the KH2006 in a shared bath, a guest bath, or a rental unit where you want the towel capacity without drilling a second bar into the tile. If you only need one rail and want a slimmer projection off the wall, a single bar such as the Emtek Traditional Brass towel bar family or the Orca Camano 24 inch set covers the same 24 inch run.

Four: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome, and a two tone Polished Chrome with PVD Polished Brass. The two tone is the one to look at if the room already mixes chrome plumbing trim with brass cabinet hardware. PVD polished brass holds its color better than lacquered brass in a wet room, which is why Deltana uses it on the mixed finish version.

For another double bar in solid brass, Emtek offers a Traditional Brass double towel bar and a Sandcast Bronze double towel bar, the sandcast being a heavier, more rustic casting. If you want the same 24 inch length as a complete set with posts included, Delaney's Congaree 200 Series 24 inch towel bar set and Orca's Camano 24 inch set both cover that size. Those last two are single bar sets, so you lose the second rail.

For a squared or contemporary look, the Delaney Cascade 300 Series bar is a square profile, and the Emtek Modern Brass Towel Bar sits in the Modern Brass Bath Hardware line. The KH2006 is a traditional-style solid brass double bar, so those two read very differently on the wall even where the mounting span is similar. Note the Cascade item is the bar only, not a full set.

The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Brass Double Towel Bar is the other double bar in the set and comes from the Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware line, which gives a cast bronze texture. The KH2006 double bar offers Oil Rubbed Bronze along with Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome, and Polished Chrome with PVD Polished Brass. If the rest of the door and bath hardware in the unit is a smooth plated finish, the KH2006 Oil Rubbed Bronze is the closer visual match; the sandcast piece has a rougher surface by nature.

Traditional. Round profile bar on turned posts, the styling that suits a period bath, a millwork heavy remodel, or a building where the rest of the trim is classic. If the room is contemporary, the Emtek Modern Brass towel bar or the Delaney Cascade 300 Series square bar are the squared off alternatives.

The Delaney Acadia 900 Series Towel Bar Set and the Orca Hardware 48 Series Blakely Towel Bar Set are both sold as sets, as is the Delaney Congaree 200 Series 24 inch Towel Bar Set. The Deltana KH2006 is the 24 inch double towel bar itself within the KH Series, so if you want the KH look throughout, match the remaining bath pieces within the KH Series rather than mixing lines.
