Zinc, copper and brass properties

Zinc is known as a living metal and is known to change over time. We like to say that zinc is a very rustic metal and will show the properties that come with handmade work. It will often vary in hue color and transparency throughout the range hood. A benefit to zinc is that it is not a shiny, factory finish, which makes it unique to other range hoods.

Patina Treatments

Left untreated, these metals shows that of a brushed grey/silver finish. We offer a few different patina treatments that turn the zinc into various dark colors. These colors vary from light black hues to brown hues. Patinas can vary in difference from hood to hood. Don’t worry, we will walk with you with pictures and tweaking to get you a patina you will love.
