Introduction to Bespoke Bath Side Panels

Bespoke bath side panels are more than just a functional necessity—it’s a design opportunity to transform your bathroom into a sophisticated, personalized retreat. At Metal Sheets Ltd, we specialise in creating bespoke bath side panels that blend functionality with unparalleled aesthetics. Our panels, crafted from patina-aged zinc and bronze patina copper, exude timeless elegance. They add character to bathrooms of all styles. These aged metal finishes offer a unique charm, perfect for anyone looking to elevate their space with a touch of luxury.

Why Choose Patina-Aged Zinc and Copper?

Patinated metals have an inherent beauty that makes them stand out in interior design. Their organic ageing process creates depth, texture, and individuality that mass-produced materials simply cannot match. Here’s why these two metals are perfect for bath side panels:

Patina-Aged Zinc

Zinc is a versatile material prized for its natural patina, which develops over time. Initially bright and metallic, the surface matures into soft grey tones that exude understated elegance. Here at Metal Sheets Ltd we have a patina studio where our artisans speed up the natural process to create zinc patinas in our workshops. It takes a matter of hours instead of months. Following patina creation, bath side panels are given several coats of hard-wearing clear matt lacquer. We make patina-aged zinc an ideal choice for:

• Modern Bathrooms: Its sleek, industrial aesthetic and muted grey tones complement contemporary designs.
• Rustic or Vintage Styles: The matte, aged finish harmonizes beautifully with earthy tones and natural textures.

Bronze Patina Copper

Copper, on the other hand, boasts a rich warmth that deepens as the patina develops. Our bespoke bronze patina finish adds layers of depth to the metal, creating a luxurious, vintage appearance. We apply these finishes in our workshops, when the correct degree of patina is reached, the process is stopped. The bath panel is rinsed with cold water and dried, the finishing touch is several coats of clear enamel. This material is perfect for:

• Classic and Traditional Designs: Its warm tones create a cosy, timeless atmosphere.
• Contrasting Contemporary Spaces: The bold yet elegant patina stands out against minimalist tiles and fixtures.

Other Metal Finishes

A few examples of other finishes that can be used for brass bath side panels include:

• Natural brass
• Aged patina brass
• Antique brass
• Blue brass
• Hammered brass
• Mirror polished brass

If you like mirrors in the bathroom, how about an unbreakable mirror bath side panel and use our Mirror stainless steel?

A company in the Metal Sheets Group called Designs 05 has several excellent pages of metal finishes and is well worth visiting. We can utilise any of these for bath side panels.

• Brass Sheet Metal Finishes
• Copper Sheet Metal Finished
• Zinc Sheet Metal Finishes
• Steel Sheet Metal Finishes
