ZINC / 100% PURE / HAND-PATINATED

Living metal

Pure zinc, not zinc-coated steel.

Every zinc range hood we build is pure 100 percent zinc sheet. Not zinc-coated steel. Not zinc-plated. The metal itself is the finish, which means it develops a natural patina with use and can be refinished by us if you want to reset the surface.

New zinc arrives with a matte or brushed finish. Over months and years of kitchen use, water, oil, and touch will darken the surface into a warm, mottled patina that reads unmistakably like real zinc. Two hand-applied patina finishes accelerate the look at fabrication.

  • Pure 100 percent zinc sheet, not coated steel
  • Brushed, matte, light patina, and dark patina finishes
  • Refinishable in the shop later if desired
  • Warm patina develops with kitchen use over time

Client review

What our clients say

“Alex and Bill care so much and give so much attention to every detail. They are truly the greatest metal fabricators I have ever seen. My husband has been a custom home builder in New Jersey for over 40 years and our hood from CMH is far beyond anything we have ever seen.”

Common questions

Ours is pure 100 percent zinc sheet, not steel with a thin zinc coating on top. The whole panel is zinc, which is what allows the natural patina to develop and lets the surface be refinished.
Yes, slowly. Zinc is a living metal and the patina deepens with use over months and years. A dark-patina finish arrives already close to its long-term color.
Wipe with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasives and acidic cleaners, which can strip the patina. Water spots are normal and blend in over time.
No. You choose and supply the liner insert, and we build the zinc hood to fit it.
