Choices.
The base materials can make or break a project.
Mild steel
The industry standard. 99% of the time this is what is specified as ‘blackened steel’. The basics are easy; appreciating the nuances takes years.
stainless
When working in an area susceptible to corrosion, this is a great choice. Blackened stainless has it’s own look and works well in bathrooms or kitchens.
Copper, Brass, and bronze
Undeniably beautiful; with extensive patina possibilities. The copper alloys are some of the most corrosion resistant architectural metals but that doesn’t mean they won’t tarnish.
SPECIALTY AND EXOTIC
Uncommon finishes and unique base materials can elevate a project, making it truly exceptional.
