Stone Manufacturing Finishes

Stone Manufacturing is the only company that makes custom fireplace accessories using 100% virgin solid brass. Items crafted from virgin brass are more costly, but have a depth and luster like fine jewelry that simply cannot be replicated using plated or painted steel. It takes skilled craftsman to work with these materials, which is what sets Stone Manufacturing aside. The finishes below are available on most products. Some are applied to steel or solid brass depending on the item.

Baked Enamel Finish: Stone Manufacturing does not use air dried lacquer coatings like other manufacturers because they discolor from heat are not durable over time. They use their own proprietary enamel coating that is baked on at a high temperature, providing superior durability and resistance to heat. For those who want a brass finish that will produce a natural patina (tarnish) over time, they offer the following finishes on their solid brass products without an enamel coating: Polished Brass, Hand Polished, Antique Brass and Old English. If you wish to polish the brass yourself periodically, order your items in polished or hand polished brass without enamel. Samples are available for purchase (call for details).

These baked on enamel finishes are proprietary formulations made by Stone Manufacturing. These finishes can applied to most items and are durable both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor use, the substrate must be solid brass, stainless steel or zinc coated bronze. They are metallic in nature with speckles that reflect differently depending on the lighting sourced. We have photographed them outdoors in direct sunlight and indoors with ambient light so you can see how different they appear. Click on the image for an even larger version.
