Our Featured Patina Metal Cladding Project
Our Oxidized Metal Fabrication Process
Design and Customization: Every project starts with a custom design approach. We collaborate closely with clients, architects, and designers to create custom oxidized metal pieces that align with their vision.
Material and Finishing Options: We offer a variety of high-quality metals, including steel, brass, and copper, each treated with our specialized chemical oxidation process. Our patina finishes range from deep, rich patinas to lighter, weathered textures, providing unique aesthetics that enhance both modern and traditional interiors.
Fabrication Process: Using advanced techniques and skilled craftsmanship, we handle the entire metal fabrication process from start to finish. Our services include cutting, welding, bending, and forming metal to precise specifications before applying our in-house chemical treatments.
Quality Assurance: Each project undergoes strict quality control to guarantee durability, consistency, and flawless finishes. Our team inspects every surface to ensure it meets our high standards for aesthetic appeal, structural integrity, and long-term performance.
Installation: We provide professional installation services in Toronto and across the GTA to seamlessly integrate oxidized metal cladding for cabinetry, bar counters, feature walls, or architectural elements into your space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Oxidized metal adds a sophisticated, high-end look to any space with its unique textures and rich patinas. It enhances modern, industrial, and contemporary interiors by introducing warmth and character. In addition to aesthetics, oxidized metal is durable, low-maintenance, and resistant to fingerprints, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
Yes! We specialize in oxidized metal cladding for furniture and cabinetry. As seen in our featured projects, we have applied oxidized metal finishes to bar tables, countertops, stand-islands, and TV cabinet units. This process not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also adds durability and uniqueness to each piece.
Oxidized metal is metal that has undergone a controlled chemical treatment to develop a natural patina. This process involves applying specific solutions to the metal surface, which react to create distinct colors, textures, and finishes. The oxidation process mimics natural aging but is carefully managed to ensure consistency and durability, making each piece unique.
Yes, oxidized metal is highly versatile and can be used for both interior and exterior applications. However, the fabrication process, finishing, and protective treatments vary based on the intended use.
Interior Oxidized Metal Applications
For interior applications, oxidized metal is commonly used for furniture, cabinetry, wall panels, countertops, bar counters, ceilings, and other architectural elements. The oxidation process is carefully controlled to create unique patinas, and protective coatings are applied to maintain the desired look while preventing unwanted changes due to air exposure, humidity, and daily use. Some common interior applications include:
- Furniture & Cabinetry – We apply oxidized metal cladding to furniture pieces such as bar tables, countertops, kitchen islands, shelving units, and TV cabinet units. This adds a modern-industrial aesthetic while maintaining durability.
- Wall Panels & Feature Walls – Oxidized metal wall cladding provides a striking accent to residential and commercial spaces. It can be used in offices, restaurants, and high-end homes to create a focal point.
- Countertops & Bar Counters – Perfect for kitchen islands, bar counters, and reception desks, oxidized metal surfaces are durable, easy to clean, and resistant to everyday wear.
- Ceilings & Architectural Elements – We also fabricate oxidized metal ceiling panels and decorative trims to add character and depth to interior spaces.
Exterior Oxidized Metal Applications
For exterior applications, oxidized metal is often used for building facades, outdoor furniture, signage, gates, and railings. To withstand harsh weather conditions, additional protective sealants and anti-corrosion treatments are applied. These coatings help stabilize the finish, preventing excessive oxidation changes caused by moisture, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring long-term durability in outdoor environments. Some common exterior applications include:
- Building Facades & Cladding – Oxidized metal is an excellent choice for exterior wall panels, providing a striking, weathered look that evolves over time while maintaining structural integrity.
- Outdoor Furniture & Fixtures – Metal-clad benches, tables, and decorative pieces can be finished with a protective sealant to withstand exposure to rain, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations.
- Signage & Branding Elements – Many commercial buildings and businesses use oxidized metal for outdoor signage due to its bold aesthetic and long-lasting appeal.
- Gates, Railings & Fencing – Custom oxidized metal gates, fences, and railings add a unique, artistic element to outdoor spaces while maintaining durability.
- Garden & Landscape Features – Oxidized metal is commonly used in landscape design for planters, edging, and decorative elements. Corten planters are particularly popular for their evolving patina, while other oxidized metals add a bold, industrial touch to modern garden spaces.
