Corten Steel weathering – how it works:
  1. Please Note: Corten products can arrive at any stage of weathering. We cannot guarantee what level they will be or even if multiple items ordered at the same time will all be at the same level. Unweathered areas of your planter will be the colour of freshly manufactured steel, with a dark oily coating.
  2. As your Corten Steel planter begins to weather, the oily residue will break down.
  3. Your planter will begin to change gradually to uniform orange-brown. Please be aware that ‘run-off’ may stain stone or concrete surfaces and bear this in mind when deciding where to place your planter.
  4. After 9 months, your planter should be almost entirely rust-coloured. Please be aware that run-off may still occur for several months after the uniform rust colour has been achieved.

aged brass sheet
View Details Select options
Aged brass sheets can serve as a complete wall covering, feature wall, conversation piece, characterful backsplash or architectural element anywhere in your home. Manufactured from high quality metal, finished by hand to a lustrous patina and then lacquered to seal in the effect. Every sheet is different, with a slightly different sheen, character and appeal. Few other materials combine the heritage of brass that reminds us of bygone days with the contemporary appeal of texture and colour. That’s why aged brass sheets of this quality are so popular! These decorative metal sheets can be used in the home, work place, studio or anywhere you like. They can be used as wall coverings, architectural flourishes or something else entirely, it’s completely up to you. See them as kitchen worktops, balustrades, feature walls, wall panels, bar and counter tops, anywhere the rich characterful sheen of brass would look its best. Aged brass sheets from Buy Metal Online are available in a selection of thicknesses and sizes. We can also cut your aged brass sheet to custom dimensions. Just let us know and we’ll take care of the rest!

Installing your aged brass sheets

Brass is a soft alloy so needs to be handled with care. Try not to drop or bash the sheet when moving it around otherwise it may become damaged. Aged brass sheets can be installed using screw fixings or adhesive depending on the situation. Where possible, try not to drill holes into the sheet as you may damage the lacquer and leave metal exposed. If you need any help with installation or sizing, contact the team here at Buy Metals Online. We would be only too happy to help!

Aged brass

Brass is an alloy made up of copper and zinc. The proportions of which give brass the lustrous finish and wide variety of depths and colours. We take standard brass sheets and accelerate the ageing process to provide its key character. Then we finish with a gloss lacquer to deliver the shine and to stop the ageing process. The gloss lacquer should last many years, but can be worn through using harsh chemicals, repeated washing, excessive heat and poor treatment. Sheets can be protected through careful use and the lacquer reapplied if necessary.

Caring for your aged brass sheets

Aged brass sheets should require minimal maintenance depending on where they are installed. If a sheet requires cleaning, use warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth. Do not use a scouring sponge or chemical cleaning products as this will accelerate the wear of the lacquer. Wipe any spills immediately and wash down with warm soapy water. Avoid contact with other metals to prevent a reaction. Get in touch with Josh, on 07703 567916 or josh@specialtyservices.co.uk, for a no-obligations custom quote. All sheets can be cut to size before dispatch.

Important Notes

After accelerating the natural ageing and antiquing process of our copper sheets we typically finish our work using a gloss lacquer. Not only does this create a brilliant finish but it prevents further ageing of the metal therefore preserving the look and design created. Should the lacquer come off through cleaning, washing, excess heat etc the patina will change and continue to develop. As ‘live’ metals, direct contact with acidic liquids like vinegar, sauce, and fruit juices, will accelerate this reaction and the look of the product will change. Our gloss lacquered products are ideal when used for decorative and design purposes. In working environments - where contact, usage, and cleaning requirements are high - there is a probability that the gloss lacquer applied will wear off and the product will continue to change from its original look. As such our lacquered products may not be suitable for splashbacks that are exposed to high temperatures and/or steam. Should you require an aged copper product for a heavy usage purpose please contact our team to discuss the best options for you.

Caring for your aged copper

Cleaning: On lacquered finished products use warm soapy water only with microfibre cloths. Do not use acidic or alkaline based products. Heat: Always use mats when setting down hot plates and cups. Spills: Clean up all spills immediately with warm and soapy water. Acidic or Akaline spills may affect the patina. Ferrous metals: some of these can cause a reaction on copper. Please avoid direct contact with items such as some candle sticks and cast iron pans etc.

* Note on Lacquered products

Lacquer is essentially a coating of paint and should be treated and cleaned as such. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaning items as this with wear away the lacquer and chase the metal to continue to age and change. For heavy use products such as bar and table tops, always:
  • 1. Clean gently with warm and soapy water
  • 2. Use heat mats when required
  • 3. Avoid scratching
  • 4. Clean spills immediately
  • 5. Re-lacquer if required

Our aluminium angles are made from 6063T6 aluminium alloy, commonly known as the architectural alloy. Developed as an extrusion alloy, 6063 aluminium offers a combination of moderate strength, high corrosion resistance, and a smooth surface finish, making it one of the best alloys for anodising, including hard coat anodising for air cylinder tubes and similar components.

Aluminium Angle 6082T6 is an angle shaped 6082 Aluminium Alloy. This alloy is in the wrought aluminium-magnesium-silicon family (6000 or 6xxx series). It is one of the more popular alloys in its series. 6082 Aluminium Alloy is typically formed by extrusion and rolling, but as a wrought alloy it is not used in casting. It can also be forged and clad, but that is not common practice with this alloy. It cannot be work hardened, but is commonly heat treated to produce tempers with a higher strength but lower ductility
