Copper splashbacks

Classic copper splashbacks add warm tones and become a focal point for any kitchen. Natural copper ages and becomes rustic, patina develops in shades of brown. Lacquered finishes maintain their appearance. Copper work surfaces gather patina with constant use.

Hand beaten copper splashbacks and mirror copper splashbacks are also a fashionable alternative to flat copper, the hand beaten is by a traditional British copper smith, the mirror copper is polished by a spaecialist. We can cut, bend and bond the metal to 9mm or 12mm MDF or plywood. The finish of the copper is mirror, this is done before beating. We make a range of products in beaten copper. Copper up-stands and kick boards can compliment a copper splash back.

Brass splashbacks

Brass splashbacks have become more popular over the last few years, brass especially has made huge come back and is fashionable again.

The flat brass sheet we use is Traditional Yellow Brass, also known as Victorian Brass or Common Brass. Again as with the copper splash backs we do lengths up 300cm in one piece and cut sockets etc by CNC

Another popular option for brass kitchen splashbacks is to use mirror finish brass, we double polish our brass before manufacture to minimise the grain, standard commercial polished brass has a noticeable grain. Vanity mirrors in mirror brass, with that golden colour are an interesting feature.

Patina finish splashbacks

Aged copper splashbacks show a beautiful blend of brown, teal, and greenish hues. This coloration was a special patina for a customer. The result is an irregular, mottled pattern that gives the copper a rustic and antique look, often appreciated for its aesthetic appeal in interior design. The patina adds character and a unique charm to the kitchen backsplash.

While aged brass splashbacks add a touch of vintage elegance, perfectly complementing the modern design. Its warm golden tones and unique patina create a striking contrast against the sleek black gas cooktop and textured brick wall. This splashback not only serves as a practical solution for protecting the wall but also acts as a statement piece, enhanced by the soft glow of under-cabinet lighting.

Splashback manufacturing

Socket cut outs, corners and column cuts are done by a CNC cutting machine. We draw your kitchen splashbacks in CAD and download the cutting plan to the machine. If we are working from templates the metal is cut by hand.
This aged copper splashback here demonstrates a long run with cut outs.

We can supply flat cut sheets or we can fabricate and fold all the sides and bond to 9mm or 12mm MDF or ply. Matching Worktop Upstands and Cupboard Kick Boards can also be added.

A metal thickness of 1.2mm is recommended for long lengths because of handling, thinner metal is more susceptible to handling damage during installation. Smaller kitchen backsplashes, up to 90cm x 90cm can be made in 0.9mm thick copper, brass or zinc but above this size the risk of damaging during handling increases, also if the wall is uneven it may not lay down flat and can follow contours in the wall. We always recommend 1.2mm though we do make many small splash backs in 0.9mm.
