Build your countertop, then send the spec.

Pick the shape and size, metal, thickness, finish, edge, backsplash, sinks and cutouts. The 3D preview updates with every choice, and you can drag it to look around. Your configuration goes out with the quote request so our shop can draw the CAD.

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. Order a $50 sample pack per material to touch the finishes before spec'ing.

  • Pure 100% zinc (not zinc-coated steel)
  • 0.060 inch zinc, 0.050 inch copper and brass

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.
