01Materials

Our zinc, copper and brass are supported by material certifications, and our zinc, brass and copper are naturally antimicrobial. Our substrates are low-emitting, with renewable and responsibly sourced content and no added urea formaldehyde, and they can contribute toward LEED and other green-building programs.

02Making

Metal removed during fabrication is captured and recycled back into the material stream, not discarded. We use a limited number of components and source materials made in the United States, which keeps assemblies simple and reduces the impact of importing materials. Every surface is finished by hand.

03Reuse

Zinc, copper and brass can be recycled at the end of their useful life and returned to the material stream for future use.

Bar Edge Spec Checklist

A one-page checklist for specifying bar top edges, profiles and finishes.
