US Finish designations and BHMA Finish designations have always been confusing to many people. The big difference is that BHMA stresses the base material of the metal under the plating. Sometimes the Finish will change - based on the material of the metal. For example, here are all the listings from BHMA of US26D - Satin Chrome finish (aslo known as brushed chrome).
