Metal

All materials weather and deteriorate; however metals often suffer the most through weathering and chemical processes.

Understanding these processes is crucial to designing effective conservation repair. Protection will range from effective coatings and maintenance to enhanced weathering detailing and cathodic protection. Architectural metalwork encompasses a wide range of materials from lead, zinc, copper to wrought and cast iron and steels. We work with plumbers, blacksmiths and engineers we can trust to execute their trade to match the quality and knowledge of those who crafted building components with these materials in the past.
