Patina, Etching, & Polishing
Patina metal finishes can greatly enhance the appearance of metals such as copper, brass, bronze, or steel. Applied using chemical solutions, heat, and other techniques, patinas can add vibrant or subtle colors along with unique textures and patterns, adding a layer of depth and character. Patinas are a great way to create an aged or weathered look on metal surfaces.
Etching and polishing is an abrasive process that EA uses to achieve unique finish on natural metal. It can be left untreated to age naturally, aging can be accelerated, or it can be halted with a clear coat finish.
Below is a gallery of examples of some of the patina, etches, and polishes. We can custom design whatever finish you might have in mind to complement you other design elements.

Paint
Paint is a practical finish option for metalwork, offering an extensive range of colors to suit any design. With such a broad palette of colors to choose from it also makes it easy to match existing colors in a space or create a specific contrast you are looking for. Beyond aesthetics, paint provides a protective barrier against moisture, UV rays, and corrosion, ensuring the metal’s longevity.
Powder Coat
Powder coating is a process that creates a thick, even coating that is extremely durable and can resist chipping and scratching, while also providing protection from moisture, UV rays, and corrosion. This makes it an excellent choice for exterior applications. Powder coats are available in a multitude of colors.
