Bronze is the new black
This authoritative statement was made to me this morning by one who would know. Metalier Metal Veneer | Bronze is ready with a variety of metals, textures, waxes and patinas. And it is ready to deliver a finish like the beautiful bronze bench designed by Marie Khouri pictured at a fraction of the cost of foundry or cast bronze.
The range of Metal Veneer | Bronze includes:
Smoky Bronze – is made to our recipe and unavailable from anyone other than Metalier. This is a darker, deeper, moody, and seductive bronze.
Gunmetal is actually a grey colour but has a bronze base. This means that, although the metal is grey, it has the warmth of bronze. It is the only bronze in the Metal veneer | bronze range that will not take a patina. This is particularly useful in a wet area such as a kitchen or bathroom when a grey look is required, but iron is too risky! Again, our Gunmetal is our own recipe and the metal is available only from Metalier.
Special treatments to Metal Veneer | Bronze
Apart from Gunmetal, the bronzes can be treated with Metalier patinas to give a verdigris look, an aged look or a pearlescent effect. They can also be darkened with black wax and textured in a number of interesting ways. Check out the website to see the various patterns we and our distributors have devised including brique, jigsaw and transition.
Bronze veneer is frequently a better choice than solid bronze
There are many occasions when a veneer can be a better choice than cast or sheet bronze. An example is the pool fencing shown on our site – the stainless steel substrate was much stronger than solid bronze would have been. It is lighter too and it’s cost-effective.
