Copper splashbacks bring warmth, elegance, and a distinctive aesthetic to kitchen spaces, making them a popular choice for both contemporary and traditional interiors. Over time, untreated copper undergoes a natural oxidation process, developing a patina that gradually shifts into deep brown shades with subtle hints of green and blue. This evolving finish gives the metal a lived-in, rustic charm. For those who prefer to maintain the original bright, reddish-orange hue of copper, lacquered finishes provide a protective layer that prevents oxidation and preserves its fresh, polished look. Copper worktops also develop a rich patina through daily use, adding to their character and appeal.

For homeowners or designers seeking a more textured and handcrafted effect, hand-beaten copper splashbacks provide an artisanal, tactile finish. These are crafted by skilled British coppersmiths using traditional techniques, resulting in a surface with organic patterns and a truly unique appearance. If a more polished and contemporary look is desired, mirror-finished copper offers a sleek, highly reflective alternative. The mirror finish is meticulously applied before any hammering or shaping, ensuring a flawless, gleaming surface.

To enhance durability and stability, we expertly cut, shape, and bond copper to either 9mm or 12mm MDF or plywood. This added backing ensures strength and ease of installation. Additionally, we provide matching copper elements, such as upstands and kickboards to create a cohesive kitchen design.

Brass splashbacks have experienced a resurgence in popularity, adding a sophisticated touch to modern and traditional kitchens alike. The brass we use is Traditional Yellow Brass, also known as Victorian or Common Brass, ensuring authenticity in both aesthetic and quality. As with copper, we can produce brass splashbacks up to 3 metres in length without joints and cut socket openings with precision using CNC machinery.

For those looking for a more polished finish, our mirror brass splashbacks offer a striking alternative. We meticulously double polish the brass before manufacturing, reducing visible grain for a smoother, high-end look. This finish also lends itself well to statement vanity mirrors, bringing an elegant golden glow to interiors.

Aged copper kitchen splashbacks undergo a natural transformation, developing a striking blend of earthy browns, deep teal, and verdigris hues. This patina forms over time, creating an organic, evolving finish that ensures no two splashbacks are ever identical. The ageing process is carefully controlled using specialist treatments, producing irregular yet visually appealing patterns that enhance the rustic charm of a kitchen. Whether used in a contemporary or traditional setting, the unique colouring and textured depth of aged copper make it a standout feature that continues to change and develop with age.

Aged brass splashbacks, by contrast, offer a more refined and sophisticated aesthetic. The warm golden tones of brass gradually deepen, taking on an elegant, vintage character that complements a range of interior styles. This beautifully aged finish pairs exceptionally well with modern kitchen elements, such as sleek black cooktops, dark cabinetry, or exposed brick walls, creating a stunning contrast. The rich colour variations and subtle surface imperfections add an authentic, antique quality, making the splashback more than just a functional feature-it becomes a true design statement. When illuminated by under-cabinet lighting, the golden hues of aged brass take on a soft, inviting glow, further enhancing the overall aesthetic of the space.

Both aged copper and aged brass metal kitchen splashbacks provide a distinctive alternative to standard metal finishes, offering depth, texture, and a lived-in character that evolves beautifully over time.

To achieve precision and consistency, we use state-of-the-art CNC machinery when cutting metal splashbacks. This advanced technology allows for highly accurate shaping, ensuring precise cut-outs for sockets, corners, and column adjustments. Each splashback is carefully designed using CAD software before being transferred to the cutting process, guaranteeing an exact fit for your kitchen space. If custom templates are supplied, we also offer hand-cutting services, allowing us to match unique designs or non-standard layouts with expert engineering.

The example shown here features an aged copper splashback with a long, uninterrupted run, including precisely cut sections for electrical outlets and other kitchen fittings.

We offer both flat-cut sheets and fully fabricated metal kitchen splashbacks, folding and securely bonding them to either 9 mm or 12 mm MDF or plywood for added strength and stability. The reinforcement helps prevent warping and makes installation easier. To create a seamless, professional finish, we also supply matching worktop upstands and cupboard kickboards, ensuring that all elements of your kitchen coordinate beautifully.

For metal splashbacks larger than 90 cm x 90 cm, we strongly recommend using 1.2 mm thick metal. This thickness improves durability, reduces the risk of damage during handling and installation, and provides a more robust structure overall. While 0.9mm sheets are available for smaller metal kitchen splashbacks, they are more susceptible to bending or denting, particularly if the wall surface is uneven. Opting for 1.2 mm metal ensures a smoother, more stable installation with a higher-quality finish.
