    Brass countertop hand-finished with light patina in a residential kitchen by Custom Metal Home
    Living metals

    Three metals, four finishes each.

    Zinc is pure 100 percent zinc sheet (not zinc-coated steel). Copper is warm and orange-toned. Brass is a copper-zinc alloy, cooler and more yellow. Zinc tops are 0.060 inch (16 gauge), and copper and brass are 0.050 inch (16 gauge). All three are refinishable and hand-finished in the Addison shop.

    Each metal is available in brushed, matte, light patina, or dark patina, sealed with wax (the surface keeps aging) or a lacquer clear coat. Ask about a sample pack through the contact form to touch the finishes before spec'ing.

    • Pure 100% zinc (not zinc-coated steel)
    • 0.060 inch zinc, 0.050 inch copper and brass
    • Brushed, matte, light patina, or dark patina

    Common questions

    Zinc and copper are safe for food prep areas in normal residential use. For heavy commercial or acidic food-contact prep we recommend 304 stainless.
    Fairly quickly with kitchen use. Water contact will darken the surface within weeks. A dark-patina finish arrives already close to its long-term color.
    No. Integrated sinks are stainless steel only. Zinc, copper, and brass tops take a drop-in sink cutout or an undermount cutout with finished inside edges.
    Yes, slowly. That's the character of living metal. Refinishing in the shop can reset the surface if desired.
