Why choose brass for your worktop or countertop?

Brass not only looks beautiful but brings a wide range of practical benefits too. 

Strength and durability

Brass is a strong, durable metal that’s both rust and corrosion-resistant, meaning (with the right care and maintenance) it’s less susceptible to scratching or damage in high-traffic areas. 

Cost-effective

While brass is typically one of the more expensive sheet metal options for your bespoke worktop or countertop requirements, its long lifespan and durability justify the investment. 

Special and unique

Brass’ higher upfront cost means it’s not as widely selected as other metals, making your brass worktop or countertop even more of a statement. 

Eco-friendly 

While brass’ long lifespan will mean that your bespoke creation won’t need updating or replacing for some time, brass is completely recyclable at its end of life. With brass worktops and countertops often lasting decades, it also reduces the need to extract new raw materials.

Antimicrobial properties

Brass kitchen worktops are often chosen for their antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, helping to minimise the spread of germs and bacteria in food preparation zones. This also makes it a great choice for high-traffic customer or guest areas.

Aesthetics and versatility

Brass adds character to any space, whether you’re looking for a characterful contrast to neutral tones or to accentuate a space. With a range of finishes, brass can be manipulated to look just the way you want it.

What are the types of brass finishes?

• Aged brass – As its name might suggest, brass that looks a little older and more weathered. This can be achieved through natural oxidisation over time or through a chemical darkening process and usually results in a darker golden-brown.
• Brushed brass – Brushing the surface of brass with an abrasive material to create a textured, matte look and darker exterior.

Over our three decades in business, we’ve produced a range of bespoke brass pieces, from custom brass countertops for restaurants to unique worktops for high-end customer homes. Take a look at some of our latest projects here. 

Care and maintenance

The level of care and maintenance you need to carry out for your bespoke brass countertop or worktop will depend on the type of look you’re after. Brass naturally oxidises and develops a patina over time if left, or it can be treated to enhance and preserve its beautiful shine or create a more antique look.

We recommend using a mild soap and soft cloth to clean a brass surface to prevent surface scratches and imperfections.

With each project, the Volund team delivers the end product with the desired finish and provides specific care and maintenance instructions depending on the design brief and usage.
