Brass & Copper

Brass metalwork for long lasting sophistication

With its fluid appearance and reflective qualities, copper metalwork offers a unique and eye-catching dimension to any design or architectural concept.

With its shimmering good looks and metallic, gold-like appearance, brass metalwork is increasingly in demand as a material of distinction in decorating and design. Whether polished brass or lacquered finishes, brass metal fabrication provides an unmistakable stamp of sophistication in any design element you require - from light fittings, clothes racks, steps, handrails, signage and address plaques to wall fixtures, candle holders, doors, door knobs and sophisticated designer hinges. Hygienic and hardwearing, brass is also becoming a popular material in restaurants and wine bars for bar tops and bar components. It combines beautifully with contrasting materials such as mild steel, glass, stone, timber, mirrors and plastics. Brass also enables stunning colour finishes. At Formanova, we can create customised brass fabrications for just about any use you require. Whether you're after an up-to-the-minute modern look or an aged effect that conveys classic style, we can create the unique finish that complements the decor of your space perfectly.
