Metal Finishes
Resurgence of Brass Sheet Metal Finishes
Welcome to our page showcasing the stunning variety of brass sheet metal finishes available at Designs 05. With nearly 20 years of experience fabricating brass sheet metal, we have witnessed the enduring appeal of brass and its remarkable resurgence in modern design. For contemporary spaces or classic applications, brass has been cemented as a go-to material for its beauty, durability, and versatility.
Classic Copper Sheet Metal Finishes
Copper’s classic finishes are a staple in rustic and industrial décor, celebrated for their rich hues and enduring appeal. Here, you’ll find copper in its natural form, complete with hammered and polished variations highlighting its craftsmanship and adaptability.
For those seeking depth and character, our patina finishes—including aged and antique copper—bring a sense of history and charm to any design. These finishes are meticulously crafted to capture the natural aging process, creating unique tones and textures that make each piece truly one of a kind.
Industrial Zinc Sheet Metal Finishes
For a sleek and modern aesthetic, we offer clean, clinical metal finishes such as 5WL, 6WL, Squares, and Brushed steel. These designs add refined accents to contemporary décor, making them ideal for applications like stainless steel worktops, table tops, and splashbacks. Their crisp lines and polished surfaces contribute to a streamlined, professional look in any setting.
In contrast, our rustic, industrial finishes evoke warmth and character. Using patinas, we achieve a distinctive red rust finish, a hallmark of weathered steel. For those seeking a darker, subtler effect, our Raw Steel finish showcases a tight black scale that adds depth and texture while maintaining an industrial edge.
Industrial Zinc Sheet Metal Finishes
Our curated range of finishes offers a neutral palette to complement various design styles. From soft light greys to rich dark greys and dramatic rustic black, these patinas bring depth and texture to any space. Each finish is carefully crafted to reflect the timeless beauty of zinc while maintaining its practical qualities.
Whether you’re aiming for a modern, minimalist aesthetic or a more rugged, industrial look, our zinc sheet metal finishes provide the perfect balance of form and function. Here is a gallery of our zinc finishes, and the table below the gallery gives descriptions.
