All of our grille designs are available with or without a brass mesh backing, depending on how visible you want the area behind the grille to be.

We offer a fine 1mm mesh and coarse 3mm mesh that can also be ordered on its own for those looking for an understated brass grille for their joinery. Our 1mm option is a popular choice for those who wish to have a more opaque style.

Choosing your perfect finish

Choosing your perfect finish

Each of our solid brass grilles are hand finished to your exact requirements to add the perfect finishing touch to your interiors.

Whilst we offer 20 unique finishes across our cabinet hardware and interior accessories, due to the delicate nature of our grilles we offer 10 unique finishes that can be effortlessly paired with the rest of our product portfolio.

Our grille finishes include antique brass tones, polished chromes and nickels, satin brasses, nickels, and chromes, along with antique copper and silver options.

Our perforated sheets are also available in our polished brass unlacquered (PBUL) and polished brass lacquered (PBL) finishes.

If you are looking for a finish that will maintain its appearance for an extended period of time, we recommend choosing one of our lacquered finishes as the brass is coated with a clear lacquer to protect it from oxidising.

Our plated finishes have a thin layer of metal applied, such as nickel and chrome, that prevents the surface from tarnishing in the same way as our living brass finishes, so are also a popular option for those looking for a finish that will keep its appearance.

For those looking for a grille that will age and patina over time, our living finishes are the best choice as the brass will oxidise with the air and any moisture to create a patina that is entirely unique to you and your interiors.
