Brass Bar Tops
Brass bar tops not only provide an elegant, timeless centrepiece to any establishment, but they’re also highly durable and low maintenance. Our expert team has decades of experience working with brass, applying different fabrication techniques and finishes to complement a range of interior styles. We can work closely with you to create custom brass bar tops to meet your specific sizing, function and aesthetic requirements.
Why choose Volund for your brass bar top project?
The Volund team is passionate about brass and its endless possibilities. We thrive on the process of turning brass sheet metal into custom brass bar tops to enhance customer homes and businesses.
We offer a complete end-to-end service from initial design consultation through to installation, so you don’t need to spend time sourcing individual suppliers. Whether you require advice on material choices for your budget, need our commercial bar design expertise, or simply want our skilled fabricators to bring your idea to life, we can help.
While bar tops are our bread and butter, we can also produce a range of fixtures, fittings and accessories. Brass metal bar stools, brass trim for counters, a brass bar table, or even a brass bar topper to update an existing fixture – no project is too complex.
Why choose brass for your bar tops?
Benefits of choosing brass for your bespoke bar top include:
- Aesthetics – Its rich golden tones are timeless and exude an elegant, luxurious feel. Solid brass bar tops make a perfect eye-catching centrepiece for any venue.
- Versatility – It can be made to complement any design scheme with a range of different finishes. As one of the most beautiful and versatile luxury bar materials, it can add a rustic charm to a cosy pub or a high-end feel to a classy cocktail bar.
- Durability – It’s highly resistant to corrosion and effortlessly withstands drips and spills from alcohol, meaning it stands the test of time in high-traffic settings.
- Antimicrobial properties – Brass naturally limits the transmission of bacteria and other microbes – ideal for settings where food and drink are served.
- Low maintenance – Easy to clean and maintain, so your focus can remain on essential bar operations.
- Sustainability – Brass can be recycled many times and doesn’t need to be replaced as often, making it the perfect option for businesses trying to make more sustainable choices.
Types of brass finishes
While brass is typically a rich golden-brown colour, it can be finished in a range of different ways to change up its look. These include:
- Polished brass – Golden-yellow in colour with a smooth, reflective finish. Polished brass is the perfect pick for a brass bar foot rail, brass bar stool, or a classic brass bar cart to help create a vintage style venue with a nostalgic feel.
- Aged brass – A brass surface patina developed over time with a rich brown colour.
- Antique brass – An antique brass look bar has typically undergone a chemical darkening process to achieve its rich, deep brown colour and golden undertones.
- Burnished brass – Combining the bright golden tones of polished brass and the more weathered, dark brown aesthetics of antique brass, burnished brass is a warm golden-brown.
- Brushed brass finish – Brush strokes in a single direction are used to create a more muted, textured appearance.
- Unlacquered brass – Also known as a ‘living finish’, unlacquered brass is deliberately left without a protective coating. It becomes beautifully weathered overtime, contributing to its character and charm.

FAQs
Brass bar tops are generally very durable and easy to look after, particularly if the brass is lacquered. However, the upkeep and maintenance you need to carry out depends on your desired look.
Brass can be left to oxidise and develop a natural patina for a more aged look, or you might wish to polish your brass to maintain a shinier surface, applying a high quality wax polish to seal any scratches or chips in the lacquer every few months.
To clean your brass bar top, use a mild soap, water and a soft cloth.
Absolutely. We’ve worked alongside business owners and managers, architects and homeowners for over 30 years to create stunning, bespoke decorative metal bar tops. We can work with you to create a unique design, bring it to life and install it in your home or venue.
Of course. Brass is a strong, durable and naturally corrosion-resistant metal, making it a good fit for outdoor environments. Depending on how you’d like your brass bar top to look, there are finishes we can apply to further protect it from the elements and enhance its durability, or lean into its changeability and individuality. Our expert design and fabrication team will be able to advise finish options for your desired look and location.
