Frequently Asked Questions
What is Brushed Zinc?
Brushed Zinc is zinc brushed in one direction, so a fine linear grain runs across a cool silver-gray surface with a satin sheen. We make it as a liquid metal coating with real zinc powder, on solid zinc, and by arc wire spraying zinc that we then brush.
Can this finish be applied to different surfaces?
Yes, and not only on metal. Liquid metal coating covers MDF, wood, metal, aluminum and stainless steel. Solid zinc from your metalworker we brush in our facility. Arc wire spraying lays real zinc on steel and aluminum, and sprayed zinc protects steel from corrosion.
Will every finished surface look exactly the same?
The grain is made by hand, so every panel carries its own fine variation in line and light. That is how real brushed metal looks. Before production you approve a sample, and we set the brushing direction with you so the panels read as one surface.
How can I use this finish in my project?
Brushed zinc works where you want metal that stays calm next to wood, stone and glass. Office reception desks, elevator surrounds, hotel corridor panels, door frames and trims. For a home, kitchen fronts or a built-in bookcase in brushed zinc.
