Brass is an intriguing metal, showcasing a variety of appearances, from aged to polished, along with a range of colours and tones. Our supply partner, Chemetal, provides a remarkable selection of both genuine brass and brass-inspired options.
The descriptions below will help you identify and select the brass that suits your project best. Feel free to call or email us with any questions, and remember, ordering samples is the most effective way to experience our design materials firsthand.
As these designs may appear similar when viewed in small samples or online, we aim to clarify and highlight the differences among these aged brass materials.
300 Series Aged Brass
Chemetal offers a range of sought-after aged and antiqued brass designs. These creations are crafted in-house using a combination of hand and machine techniques, involving processes such as darkening, brushing, and finishing to achieve a stunning design material with consistent manufacturing quality.
All four designs are available in sheets measuring 2440 x 610 mm and 3050 x 610 mm. They are provided as “metal only,” or can be ordered with a low-pressure laminate backer. These exquisite aged metal designs can be worked with similar to standard laminates, utilising woodworking tools and lamination techniques, just like our entire product line.
900 Series Anodised Brass Looks
Aluminium anodising involves utilising electrical currents and treatment baths to develop a protective layer on aluminium. This method is widely favoured for both indoor and outdoor applications. Furthermore, during the manufacturing process, colour pigments and brush finishes can be incorporated, allowing aluminium to resemble brass, copper, or other metals.
While not as luxurious as genuine brass, these alternatives are visually appealing, durable, lightweight, cost-effective, and available in 1220mm widths. To appreciate the subtle distinctions, it’s best to request samples.
800 Series Brass
The 800 Series brass designs, crafted from solid brass, are distinguished by their luxurious visual depth and remarkable durability.
These designs come in widths of 610mm, with standard lengths of 2440mm and 3050mm. They are available either as solid metal or with a low-pressure laminate backing.
600 Series Architectural Metals
Architectural Metals feature printed designs with a range of satin and textured designs that boast remarkable depth, reflectivity, and understated colours.
Offered on 2440 x 1220mm aluminium sheets, these metals showcase aged and historic brass representations.
