Why Choose Brass for Interior Cladding?

Brass is both practical and decorative. Its malleability allows it to be formed into panels, curves, and fine detailing, while its natural golden tone provides a rich and inviting feel. Over time, brass develops a patina that adds depth and uniqueness to each installation; Optionally, panels can be lacquered to lock in the patina.

Key benefits:

• Durable and long-lasting
• Suitable for high-traffic areas
• Develops character with age
• Works well with stone, wood, and concrete

Frequently Asked Questions

What is brass cladding used for in interiors?

Brass cladding is commonly used on feature walls, reception counters, bar fronts, cabinet doors, and decorative panels to add warmth, texture, and a sense of luxury to modern interiors.

Does brass cladding need to be lacquered?

Lacquering is optional. Unlacquered brass will develop a natural patina over time, while clear lacquer preserves the original finish for longer and reduces maintenance.

Can brass cladding be used on curved surfaces?

Yes. Brass is a malleable material and can be formed into curved shapes for counters, panels, and column wraps.

What finishes are available for interior brass cladding?

We offer mirror polished, aged, antique, satin, hammered, and burnished finishes — all suitable for interior use.

Is brass cladding suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes. Brass is durable and well-suited for commercial spaces like hotel lobbies, bars, and retail environments. Aged or Antique finishes are ideal for disguising wear.
