Stainless steel is an excellent choice due to its corrosion resistance and strength, making it ideal for high-traffic environments. Brass offers a classic, polished look and is naturally antimicrobial, suitable for healthcare or hospitality settings. Aluminum provides a lightweight yet sturdy option with good resistance to wear. For a more premium finish, bronze delivers both durability and an attractive patina over time. All materials we use are carefully selected and crafted in our Nottingham workshop to meet demanding commercial standards while complementing your project’s design.
