Architects + Designers

Our real metal veneer coatings have the look and feel of solid metal without the weight or expense. Your clients have access to a whole new world of design options that will fit within their budget. Blur the lines between design and architecture by pairing floors and ceilings with a breath taking coat of copper, bronze, or any one of our metals. Different textures on top of the colours and finishes allow for even more choices.

We can provide samples of different metals, textures, and finishes. Once the sample has been approved we will coat your substrate in our facility. In special circumstances it can be done on site.

Metals and Finishes

We have a variety of different standard metals for you to choose from:

Metals

  • Brass – BR

Here are our standard finish options for you to specify our product:

  • #200 Patina Highlighted ( patina is applied and parts of the item are highlighted to a gloss)
  • #300 Polished ( buffed to a nice polish)
  • #400 Satin Patina ( patina is applied and then the piece is taken to a satin finish)
  • #500 Matte Patina ( patina is applied to the entire piece and has no finishing done after)
Care and Cleaning

MakeItMetal is real metal and should be treated as such. As metal ages it naturally develops its own look. To avoid damaging the metal finish and to protect the natural beauty, please follow the Care and Cleaning Instructions carefully.

FOR HIGH POLISH AND HIGHLIGHT POLISH

  • Without a protective coating these finishes will oxidize and age naturally.
  • Never use harsh cleaners (vim and any abrasive cleaners). These will damage the finish.
  • To avoid water spots, dry all surfaces after each use.
  • Water spots and unwanted patina may be removed by applying a small amount of non-abrasive metal polish with a soft microfiber cloth or gently with extra fine steel wool. Then buff with a soft cloth.

FOR ANTIQUE, OIL RUB, VERDI, AND RUST FINISHES

  • These finishes have patina applied to enhance the finish.
  • Never use harsh cleaners (vim and any abrasive cleaners). These will damage the finish.
  • Mineral oil, oil based polish, wax or oil based cleaner may be used to maintain the oil rubbed appearance and minimize spotting. To remove unwanted green (due to moisture) from antique and oil rub finishes use a small amount of non-abrasive metal polish with a soft cloth.
  • Extra fine steel wool along with a small amount of non-abrasive metal polish may be used to remove excess Verdi or to lighten oil rubbed and antique finishes.

FOR CLEARCOATED FINISHES

  • These finishes have a protective coating that will protect against water spots and natural aging
  • Never use harsh cleaners; these will damage the clear coat.
  • To avoid water spots, dry all surfaces with a soft cloth. For cleaning and added protection a small amount of non-abrasive metal polish may be used as a barrier between clear coat and moisture.

*Please note Windex can be used on all surfaces except Copper

About Our Company

In 2010 MakeItMetal brought the art of cold metal spray to Canada at our St. Catharines ON location. Since then, we have taken on large and small projects, all the while perfecting our process and technique. Our capabilities are only limited by imagination. MakeItMetal can help develop your idea or work through the process from scratch. We are more than willing to sit with you to discuss your vision and help make it a reality.

At MIM it is business as usual as our shop has been up-to-date with new distancing rules for some time now, and we always wear the proper PPE.
