What is Patination?
Patination is the alchemy of using chemical solutions to permanently change the appearance of brass, copper and bronze.
Unlike paint or powder coating, our hand applied patinated finishes transform the surface itself creating a depth of movement that make surfaces feel alive, natural and timeless.
You will have seen patination before on old buildings where years of natural oxidisation has turned the copper roofs green.
Our Process
From Enquiry to Development
Get in touch by phone or email to request samples and discuss your project, sending on drawings, finish codes and reference images if needed, to help us best serve you.
If you require a completely bespoke patina or desire a certain colour or effect, we will develop it for you.
We can also assist with design solutions for metal cladding and fabrication.
BMA Finishes
Our range of BMA finishes are all prepared by hand, starting with surface preparation and sanding of brass and metal components prior to patination, ensuring better application of colour and tone. BMA is a cold process, transformed with our in-house patination chemicals. The colour and effect is achieved and controlled by trained eyes, thoroughly washed, then waxed to seal and protect the finished surface.
We can work closely to a sample or a tonal range as desired by the client.
Aside from our BMA finishes, we can transform metal surfaces into a wide variety of colourful finishes.
This can be achieved through heat, with the skilled application of a blowtorch and a brush, permanently altering the surface with unique effects, repeatable at scale.
