A Selection of Metal Finishes |
"... Verdigris; where engineering becomes art ..."
A variety of different metals that can all be finished in different ways
are used by Verdigris. This ranges from
heavily textured to
patinated to highly polished.
The finish used with these metals is also influenced by where the the
work will be sited, especially steel
which quickly rusts outdoors. Painting will help slow down this rusting
but it is most effectively prevented by first
galvanising the
metal.
When used indoors though, steel needs less protection and can simply
be waxed to avoid masking its attractive natural forged texture
with paint. However, when polished or satin finished,
stainless
steel will not rust and can be used outdoors without further protection.
Follow the links below for some more information on some of the finishes
used.
