Every Fût Mauricie bar foot rail comes in four finishes — brushed stainless, matte black, candy copper and gold — applied on the same finishing line as our draft beer towers. Underneath, the tube is identical: 1.5″ or 2″ OD stainless steel, cut to your length. The finish is the design decision, so here is how the four compare on upkeep, style and the room they belong in. You can preview each one in live 3D as you read.
Brushed stainless: the commercial default
The workhorse. A brushed grain hides fingerprints and the small scuffs a foot rail collects every service, and a quick wipe-down keeps it looking new. It reads industrial next to concrete and steel, clean next to wood, and it matches the stainless already behind most bars. If the rail needs to disappear into a hard-working bar, this is the pick.
Matte black: the quiet one
Matte black turns the rail into a shadow line under the bar rather than a feature. No glare, no reflections, and smudges show far less than on a glossy surface. It pairs naturally with dark millwork and black draft towers. One honest caveat: at shoe level, scuffs read more on a dark coat than on brushed steel, so matte black is happiest in seated-service rooms and home bars rather than under a packed standing crowd.
Candy copper: warmth without the copper routine
Candy copper is a translucent candy coat over stainless — the glow of copper without the upkeep of the raw metal. Because there is no bare copper in it, it will not develop a patina and never needs polishing to stay bright; it wipes down like the other finishes. This is the statement option for hospitality rooms: it catches light at floor level, and tied to a candy copper draft tower it makes the whole bar read as one piece.
Gold: commit to it
Gold is the boldest of the four — the classic brass-rail look, delivered as a finish on stainless tube. It suits cocktail bars, hotel bars and brasseries that already lean warm: wood, leather, low light. Pair it with gold acorn nuts and the hardware disappears into the finish; set it against chrome nuts and the contrast becomes the detail.
The hardware, and matching the rest of the bar
Whatever the finish, every flange and clamp ring is secured with polished acorn nuts — chrome or gold, the kit's only fastener. And because all four finishes are shared with our custom beer towers and drip trays, your rail, tower and tray can carry one continuous design instead of three approximations.
