Emtek Sandcast Bronze Towel Ring

The rosette is the backplate the ring mounts on, and it is the shape choice you have to make on the order. Five are offered: #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6. Pick the one that matches the rosettes on the Sandcast Bronze knobs, levers and other bath pieces already going into the room, since that is what makes the set read as one suite. The ring itself is the same in every case.

The Emtek Sandcast Bronze towel ring is sold in a 6-1/2 inch size with an approximately 6 inch ring diameter and a 2-1/4 inch projection. The Deltana BBS2008 towel ring in the BBS Series is also a 6-1/2 inch towel ring, so it hangs a towel off the wall in the same footprint. The difference is the mounting choice: the Emtek ring is offered with #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6 rosettes in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze, while the Deltana BBS2008 comes as a single fixed design. If you are matching an existing wall pattern across several baths, the rosette options are what let the Emtek ring follow hardware already on the doors.

Sandcast bronze. The substrate is bronze throughout, not a plated zinc or steel core, so there is no thin plating to blister off over a shower. Sandcasting is what gives the piece its slightly irregular, hand-poured surface, so no two are identical and the texture is part of the look rather than a defect.

Size and character. The Emtek is a sandcast bronze piece with a rough, hand-poured surface and a choice of five rosette shapes, sold in 6-1/2 inch. The Deltana 88TR6 and the Deltana 98C2008 Classic are solid brass rings at 6 inches, the Deltana BBS2008 is 6-1/2 inch and the BBN2008 is 6-1/4 inch. Orca's rings come as design series, 2760 Cypress, 3660 Swirl, 4860 Blakely and 9160 Waldron. If you want a smooth machined brass look, go Deltana; if you want the rustic cast texture, the Emtek is what does that.

Only if the old mount used a comparable backplate footprint. The Emtek mounts on a rosette, which is a round or shaped plate, so it covers a modest area at the anchor point rather than a wide bracket. Plan on patching and re-anchoring into a stud or a proper hollow-wall anchor rather than counting on the old holes lining up. If the previous ring was a different brand, the anchor spacing almost certainly differs.

It is a towel ring for the same job, but it is not the same product family. Delaney builds towel rings as part of full bath suites - the Congaree 200 Series, the Cascade 300 Series, the Acadia 900 Series and the Denali 1100 Series - each intended to be bought across the whole bath so the ring, bar and hook read as one set. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze towel ring belongs to the Sandcast Bronze collection in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze, a rustic sandcast look with a hand-worked surface. If a unit already has Delaney trim in one of those series, take the Delaney ring; if the bath is being finished to match Emtek sandcast door hardware, the series ring will not tie in.

It is designated residential, so it suits apartments, hotel guest baths, condos and single family work rather than a public restroom that needs commercial washroom accessories. The comparable rings are the same kind of decorative bath hardware: the Deltana BBS2008 at 6-1/2 inch, the Deltana BBN2008 at 6-1/4 inch, and the Orca 2760 Cypress and 9160 Waldron patterns. If the opening is a public or institutional restroom, that whole comparable group is the wrong shelf and you want a commercial washroom accessory line; if it is in-unit, the Emtek ring is on point for the application.

For fleet standardization, a single-design ring is the simpler order. Orca Hardware offers one ring per pattern - the 2760 Cypress, the 3660 Swirl, the 4860 Blakely and the 9160 Waldron - so a purchase order names one part and every bath gets the identical piece. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze towel ring is configured instead: three finishes and five rosettes, #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6, all at 6-1/2 inch. That is the right tool when the rings have to match rosettes already installed on the doors, and the extra work when they do not. Either way, lock the choice before the first unit ships so later phases can be reordered against the same line.

The Emtek Sandcast Bronze towel ring is a brass casting finished in bronze tones - Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze. Among the comparable rings, the Deltana 88TR6 in the 88 Series and the Deltana 98C2008 in the 98C Series Classic are both stated as solid brass, so they are the same base metal in a 6 inch ring. Buyers matching a bath to cast bronze door hardware should judge the match on finish and surface texture rather than on the word bronze in the name, since a bronze-toned brass casting and a solid brass ring can sit side by side and read the same on the wall.

Yes. The ring belongs to Emtek's Sandcast Bronze bath hardware line, so towel bars, hooks and paper holders from the same collection share the finish and rosette treatment. That same Sandcast Bronze collection also runs through Emtek's door hardware, which is how designers carry one bronze through the door knobs and the bath fittings in a rustic or lodge-style interior.
