SURFACE TREATMENTS

Copper Finishes

Cafe

Copper is treated to achieve reddish, brown, blue, and sometimes purplish hues which mimic the first step of patina seen in metal aged 1 to 5 years.

Dark Verdigris

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

Light Verdigris

Blue-green highlights blossom from the dark bronze background. Typical on copper during late term patina formation between 15 to 25 years.

Nebula

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

Historic

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

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 almost iridescent red, brown, and purplish hues in a range of textures.

Brass

Reddened Brass

Architectural grade brass sheets are treated to achieve deep hues often associated with bronze statuary. Reddened Brass is available in a variety of textures and shades. The color is deep, luminous, luxurious, and complex. These colors can be achieved on either non directional or long grain brushed brass and architectural bronze.

Steel

Weathered Steel

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