Project location?
Choosing the right metal for your project is crucial, especially when it comes to location. Different environments demand different materials. For instance, using cold rolled steel in a humid bathroom or a busy kitchen is a recipe for disaster. Why? Because over time, it will rust and ultimately fail.
To ensure the longevity and durability of your project, it’s essential to select metals that can withstand the challenges of their surroundings. Whether it’s exposure to moisture, chemicals, or high traffic, the right material will make all the difference.
Material Selection
Believe it or not, not all steel is created equal. Every steel mill has its own quirks, resulting in subtle variations in appearance. This means that for certain demanding projects, hand-picking the material can make all the difference.
Whether you’re looking for a specific grain pattern, a particular sheen, or just the perfect shade of mill scale, we can help you select the ideal sheet for your project.
Sealant
No matter the project or its location, sealing is almost always essential. It’s not just about preserving the patina; it’s about enhancing the metal’s natural beauty. Think of it like wetting a rock on the beach – suddenly, the colors and textures come alive.
Of course, there are a few exceptions. Some exterior metals develop their own protective layers, and others are specifically designed for harsh environments. But for most projects, sealing is the key to long-lasting beauty and protection.
Living finishes
Patinas are considered living finishes, meaning they evolve and change over time based on factors such as humidity, UV exposure, usage, and various other environmental influences.
Secrets of the trade
Our finishers are more than artisans; they are keepers of a centuries-old craft, perfected through countless hours of intense training under master finishers.
Bound by a sacred blood oath, they are sworn to absolute secrecy, guarding the ancient methods behind their breathtaking finishes. These secrets are never written, never spoken; passed only through whispers and shadowed hands.
The results are mesmerizing. Each finish seems alive, with a depth and character that defies explanation. When you encounter their work, you’re not just seeing beauty; you’re witnessing a mystery that will never be revealed.
