Other finishes applied to this metal - available for fabricated items only: |
Brushed Finish Brass |
Brushed finish is a type of finish applied on
brass usually after fabrication of counter tops, hood vents and back splashes. The idea
behind this, is to allow for a nice blend, where welds are not as visible,
giving the part fabricated the appearance of a solid piece.
This is the same finish you can find on stainless steel appliances, known as #4 finish.
In counter tops, a brushed finish is a nice alternative to a raw finish, since the raw material comes with no
protective film and with some scratches from the factory. It also gets a little scratched during production.
A brushed finish may also help accelerate the patina process of the metal.
As beautiful as this finish looks, any scratches from usage that are in a different direction than the grain, will be very noticeable at first,
since a brushed finish is a directional finish. This usually tends to blend in after a while, and is usually not as much
as an issue for parts that are left untouched, such as hood vents, planters, unlike counter tops for example.

Satin Finish Brass |
Satin finish is a type of finish applied on
brass usually after fabrication of counter tops, planters etc. The idea
behind this, is to allow for a nice blend, where welds are not as visible,
giving the part fabricated the appearance of a solid piece.
In counter tops, a satin finish is a nice alternative to a raw finish, because a raw material comes with no
protective film, meaning it has some scratches from the factory and it also gets scratched during production.
A satin finish also helps accelerate the patina process of the metal.
In any case, a counter top, for example, will get scratched with usage, which will look normal after a while, but
it will be very noticeable at first. A satin finish makes it so these new scratches are not nearly as visible.
