Treatments and finishes of brass meshes

Codina’s brass meshes can be manufactured with natural metal or with a lacquer treatment:

• Natural finish: In its natural state, brass has a bright golden yellow color. As it is exposed to air and moisture, it develops a dark brown or green-toned surface layer called a patina. Patina is a desirable aesthetic feature when looking for an antique, aged look.
