The choice of metal for door push plates can subtly influence how a building is perceived, setting the tone for visitors before they even step inside. Different materials convey distinct impressions, whether it be elegance, modernity, tradition, or practicality.

Mirrored solid brass door push plates instantly communicate a sense of luxury and refinement. Its highly polished, reflective surface catches the light beautifully, making it a popular choice for prestigious buildings, grand hotels, and heritage properties where an opulent touch is desired. Over time, brass door push plates develop a natural patina, further enhancing its classic appeal unless regularly polished to maintain its mirror-like finish.

For a contemporary yet striking alternative, mirror-polished stainless steel push plates offer a crisp, modern aesthetic. Its bright, reflective surface creates a clean and professional look, making it an interesting choice for high-end commercial spaces, modern office buildings, and stylish retail environments. Stainless steel is also highly resistant to tarnishing, making it a practical yet visually appealing option.

A solid copper push plate provides a distinctive, slightly rustic charm. Its warm, reddish tones naturally evolve over time, developing a unique patina that enhances its character. This makes copper particularly well-suited for traditional buildings, historic properties, or interiors aiming for a vintage or artisan-inspired aesthetic. Additionally, copper possesses antimicrobial properties, making it a functional choice for high-traffic areas.

For those seeking a practical and neutral option, brushed stainless steel and aluminium are ideal. Brushed stainless steel offers a modern, industrial look while being durable and easy to maintain. It’s commonly used in commercial spaces, offices, and hospitals, where hygiene and longevity are key considerations. Aluminium, while lightweight and cost-effective, provides a similar neutral aesthetic but with a softer metallic sheen. Both materials are well-suited for environments where functionality takes precedence over decorative appeal.

Ultimately, the choice of metal for a push plate not only serves a practical purpose but also contributes to the overall atmosphere and identity of a space.

Copper push plates offer more than just aesthetic appeal, they provide a practical, hygienic solution for high-traffic environments. Copper possesses natural antimicrobial properties, which help reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses on frequently touched surfaces. Unlike other metals, copper actively kills microbes upon contact, making it an excellent choice for settings where hygiene is a priority.

Our copper finger push plates are particularly well-suited for hospitals, surgeries, healthcare facilities, and care homes, where preventing cross-contamination is essential. They are also highly beneficial in public spaces such as schools, canteens, restaurants, toilets, and public buildings, where large numbers of people frequently come into contact with door surfaces.

Since touchpoints like door push plates are a major contributor to the spread of disease, using antimicrobial metals such as copper can enhance cleanliness and improve overall hygiene in busy environments. With the added benefit of developing a rich, natural patina over time, copper push plates not only serve a functional purpose but also add character to any setting.

We offer a wide selection of metals and finishes to ensure your push plates complement your space perfectly. Whether you prefer a highly polished look, a subtle brushed texture, or a natural aged effect, we have options to suit all styles and requirements.

For those seeking a sleek, reflective surface, we provide mirror finishes in copper, brass, and stainless steel. These polished metals create a striking, elegant look, making them ideal for prestigious buildings, luxury interiors, or high-end commercial spaces.

If you prefer a more understated, modern aesthetic, our brushed stainless steel push plates offer a subtle grain texture that reduces glare while maintaining a clean and professional appearance. This finish is particularly popular for contemporary office buildings, hospitality settings, and industrial-style interiors.
