Body Finishes
Turnstyle Designs offers a wide range of body finishes for internal and external doors, drawers and cabinets.
Solid Body Finishes
These solid body finishes, also known as living finishes, are designed to change with time and use. Brass components are polished and then treated using a number of different processes to change the surface, either by accelerated aging as with the Vintage and Burnished finishes or brushing like the Satin Brass.
All living finishes are finished with a highly durable wax, which will wear according to use. Turnstyle Designs do not use lacquer, so as to avoid uneven blotchy wear. Brass living finishes can be used outdoors, but will be subject to the specific atmosphere of the location and change accordingly.
Brass Body Finishes
- Polished brass: a solid brass, expertly polished to a high sheen, pure and simple with nothing added to allow the natural aging process or keep it polished with any good brass cleaning products.
- Vintage patina: a hand polished brass base with matt treatment before patination to a rich dark brown, lightly distressed for highlights. Finished with a durable wax coating.
- Fine antique brass: hand polished brass, lightly patinated and brushed to highlight and contrast. Finished with a durable wax coating.
Brass Plated Body Finishes
- Bright chrome: sometimes referred to as Polished Chrome, this is a solid brass base, highly polished, nickel base coat with a durable chrome top coat. Easy to maintain and one of Turnstyle Designs most durable finishes.
- Polished nickel: a solid brass base finished with beautifully subtle nickel plating, silver in colour with hints of yellow. Superb in contemporary or traditional interiors. Clean with any quality nickel polish.
- Satin nickel: one of the most popular plated finishes, this is solid brass with a fantastic, flat satin nickel plating, no brushwork. A superbly versatile finish that will stand the test of time.
