SURFACE TREATMENTS

Copper Finishes

Cafe

Reddish, brown, blue, and sometimes purplish hues begin to bloom from the natural copper and coat the surface with an even color which mimics the first stage of patina formation seen in metal aged 1 to 5 years.

Dark Verdigris

Soft blue-green highlights begin to emerge from the soft bronzed background, emulating early term patina formation between 5 to 15 years.

Light Verdigris

Deeper blue-green highlights blossom from the dark bronze background, as found on copper during late term patina formation, between 15 to 25 years.

Historic

Fully developed copper patina as seen on exterior copper aged 30 or more years.

Nebula

Combines the cascading crystal formation seen in nature with the hand of the artist to produce stunning visual effects.

Zinc

Soap Stone

Zinc is treated so that gray and black textures begin to emerge, adding dimension to create an interesting and dynamic surface

Lithic Zinc

Natural zinc is treated to express an almost iridescent red, brown, and purplish hue in a range of textures.

Brass

Reddened Brass

Architectural grade brass sheets are treated to achieve deep hues often associated with bronze statuary. Available in a variety of textures and shades, the colors that emerge are deep, luminous, luxurious, and complex.

Steel

Weathered Steel

Steel is treated to express the dark blueish reds of raw iron exposed to the elements, and is sealed to prevent further rusting and runoff.
