Aged brass

Aged brass provides brand new design opportunities or an opportunity to look back in time. Britain has a long history with brass and many of us find comfort from its warm tone and reassuring shine. Brass makes an excellent decorative or practical material. It’s full of colour and character, is easy to clean, and can cover large areas with minimal material. These brass splashbacks are artificially aged to deliver a stunning and unique patina. Each sheet is coated with a gloss lacquer to preserve the patina pattern and prevent further ageing.

Caring for your aged brass splashback

Our aged brass splashbacks require minimal care and cleaning to maintain.
  • Clean using mild detergent and warm soapy water to remove dirt and debris. Use a clean soft cloth or sponge to wipe down.
  • Avoid using scourers or abrasive cleaners.
  • Avoid using acidic or alkaline cleaning products.

How it’s made: Galvanised steel is made when steel is fortified with a powerful layer of zinc. The metal is dipped in an extremely hot bath of molten zinc, which causes a chemical reaction, resulting in a protective layer of zinc which makes the finished product supremely tough. Whilst the zinc that’s added to steel in the galvanisation process is not magnetic, the steel itself is. The amount of zinc used is so little that it doesn’t affect the performance of the steel, meaning magnets will stick to it. Good for: Notice boards, photography displays, shop displays, interiors or anywhere else where a surface that attracts magnets is required. Painting: Galvanised steel can be coated in paint, but make sure you use a specialist product and primer. Benefits:
  • Attracts magnets

I was very impressed by the service I received and would fully recommend them.” – Stuart, Trustpilot, December 2015.
