Manhattan Brass Kick Plate and Push Plate Polishing 10011

Brass – that lovely, shiny gold metal alloy – is a combination of 60 to 70% copper and 30 to 40% zinc. It is revered for its strength, rust-resistance and acoustical qualities. Copper ions in brass can kill bacteria and viruses on contact. From trumpets and trombones to faucets, pipes, locks, gears and kickboards, brass is a frequent go-to material for function and beauty.
Brass was discovered in the Bronze Age when metalworkers mixed copper with zinc for a stronger material than plain copper. Like any metal, brass can get dingy, dented and dull over time, especially in a high traffic area like entryways into a popular Manhattan building. A spiffy entrance creates positive emotional feelings as well as a measure of personal pride for those who go in and out.


Our Paintworks team is exceptionally experienced and knowledgeable in how to clean and polish brass to restore its brilliance and appeal. Working on four exterior doors and four vestibule doors in multiple entries, we professionally restored all the kick plates and push plates embedded on the doors to their original luster.
