Traditional look with a highly polished finish, commonly seen on door and cabinet hardware, lighting fixtures and decorative items.
A very fine grain pattern is applied to the surface. Used on plaques, markers, and midcentury light fixtures. Brushed Brass is also a very durable finish for lighting and door hardware used in commercial and public buildings.
After a part has been polished, it is then oxidized and relieved by either soft (color) buffing, brushing or hand rubbing. This process allows the details in a part to be highlighted. Parts with deep designs and embossing benefit from this process.
We start with a polished finish, then using pumice or a very fine abrasive, the polished surface is dulled slightly. After a wax or lacquer coating, it imparts a hand rubbed finish.
A finish achieved by glass bead blasting the part and coating with lacquer.
Starting with a brushed or glass bead blasted surface, we then chemically oxidize the surface to a uniform brown to black color. The finish can be left as a solid color, or relieved to reveal the some of the brass color underneath. Finally, the part is either lacquered, waxed or oiled to protect the surface.
