Products
Kitchen Backsplashes
Our Kitchen Backsplashes can supplied with or without fixing holes. Commercial kitchens typically use stainless steel backsplashes in economy grade 430 and the higher quality grade 304 stainless steel though we also supply patterned embossed finishes.
Popular at the moment are copper backsplashes in natural and mirror finish, our copper is also naturally antimicrobial.
Upstands for the back of units, trims, cover strips and corner angles are also available.
Copper, Brass, Zinc, Bronze & Pewter are live metals and will naturally patina with age and use and become rustic. This is part of the charm. Lacquer can be applied to keep the original look but is does detract from that raw metal feel. Cleaning is with soapy water only, bees wax can be applied to moderate the rate of patina. Mirror finishes maintain with Brasso. Aged finishes also continue to patina.
Brass & Copper Signs
We specialise in aged antique patina finishes for brass signs and copper signs though we also supply aged zinc signs, rusted corten steel signs and bronze signs.
The brass we use for our signs is grade CZ120, the finish can be Traditional Natural, Mirror Polished or Antiqued.
The copper we use for signs grade C106, the finish can be Classic Natural, Mirror or Antiqued.
We can also lacquer the finished signs if required.
Door Kick Plates
Front door − Entry door − Commercial door kick plates will protect your doors from foot traffic, typically many people push doors open or keep them ajar with a foot. Kick plates can be narrow to protect the lower part of the door or they can be half height if trolleys etc are pushed through door openings. Our copper kick plates are antimicrobial and so help reduce transmission of disease especially when combined with our copper door finger push plates. This makes them suitable for hospitals, surgeries, restaurants, schools, canteens, food factories etc.
Door kick plates can be supplied with or without holes depending on how you intend to fix.
Copper and Brass kick plates can also be supplied with an aged finish
Door Push Plates
Finger push plates as door furniture for domestic or commercial applications will help maintain the appearance of your door by protecting against grubby finger marks which occur through constant door pushing.
Our copper finger push plates are antimicrobial and help prevent the transmission of disease, these are particularly suitable for hospitals, restaurants, schools, surgeries, canteens, public buildings, toilets etc
These can be supplied with or without fixing holes depending how you wish to fix
Wall Protectors
Adding wall edge protectors and corner protection reduces maintenance costs and prolongs a good appearance in high traffic areas such as door ways, lift door entrances, building entrances, corridors etc.
We can drill fixing holes if required or you can fix with construction tape or adhesive as appropriate.
Aluminium chequer plate and galvanised steel wall protectors and corner protectors are rugged and industrial. Stainless Steel, copper and brass wall protectors and corner protectors are more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Copper and brass will patina with age and become rustic looking.

Galvanised Steel Sheet

Note that the spangled finish is becoming less common due to EEC regulations on manufacturing process controls. European galvanised sheet steel is a plain non-spangled finish. We stock and use decorative spangled in 0.8mm which is produced in the far east. Other thickness’ may not be spangled.
Pewter Sheet Metal
he most popular grade and mainly used in the UK is Pewter 92. (Alternative grade Pewter 93 to order only), The composition of Pewter 92 is 92% Tin (Sn), 6% Antimony (Sb), 2% Copper (Cu). It is mainly used for bar tops, table tops, hand crafting and spinning.

These embossed sheets have many applications, we typically use Squares for table tops, display shelving, panelling and kitchen wall cladding.
6WL is popular for box slides, the raised bubble creates less friction and packing boxes are easier to push along.
5WL has many applications where a more interesting finish is desired.
Corten Steel Sheet
We produce a rust patina quickly on Corten and Weathering Steel by speeding up the natural rusting process, it takes just a few days, whereas in nature this can take 12 months.
Perforated Stainless Steel Sheet
Perforated stainless steel sheets can be used for technical purposes such as strainers, filters and sieves in food processing, brewing and acoustic diffusers as well as interior design and architectural features. Our perforated stainless sheets are in grades 304 and 316 stainless steel as shown in the table below.
Our perforated stainless steel has a hole pattern which is a Staggered “T” so the distance between hole centers is the same in any direction. The term O/A in the table below is the Open Area i.e the free area to allow flow of liquids or gasses.
Interior Design
Some of the sheet metals we use are natural zinc, aged zinc, bronze, natural brass, aged brass, natural copper, aged copper, hammered copper, mirror copper, hammered brass, mirror brass, natural pewter, aged pewter and corten steel
When we clad reception desks for example we would work with customers carpenter to help design the substructure to achieve the best effect from the metal cladding.
