Bull nosed mirror copper table top
Round metal table tops can now be produced on a fast turn around, these can be supplied in a natural finish or patina aged.
Timber cores for the table tops are produced on our CNC wood router, if bull noses are required the round timber blanks are first put in to a wood lathe and turned down to the specified radius. We can spin table tops up to 50mm thick with a 25mm radius bull nose.
Engraving designs and logos on to the table tops is also an option with our CNC engraving machine. Our CAD department can assist you with design if required.
More information on metal spinning can be found on our spinning web page and patina aging options can be seen in our Flickr gallery.
They are manufactured from solid 99.9% pure copper sheet. The door handles can help reduce the transmission of infections from bacteria, yeasts and viruses. Metallic copper has the intrinsic property of being antimicrobial.
The handle was styled in-house and manufactured on our CNC machinery. This Push Pull Copper Door Handle, height 240mm x width 75mm, is aimed at new build or as a replacement for existing less hygienic stainless steel and aluminium handles.
Replacing existing door handles with Metal Sheets Ltd Solid Copper Handles is an extra defense in controlling infection transmission. Locations that would benefit would be factories, offices, restaurants, shops and public buildings for example. Door handles are high traffic touch surfaces.
Matching solid copper Door Kick Plates and Door Finger Push Plates can also be supplied.

Antique Copper Patina and Antique Zinc Patina – New Patinas we have developed.
Antique patina is a unique and beautiful finish that can be achieved on both copper and zinc. It’s a process that involves exposing the metal to air, moisture, and other elements.
This process gives the metal a unique look that can’t be replicated with any other type of finish.
Copper patina has been used for centuries to create beautiful decorative pieces, while zinc patina is becoming increasingly popular in modern design. Both types of antique patinas have their own distinct look and appeal, making them perfect for adding character to any decor or furniture piece.
We have developed these finishes in our studio for application to the products we make or for application to zinc sheets and copper sheets for supply direct to the trade. Sheets sizes up to 3m x 1m.
Metal Sheets Ltd has just completed a large pewter kitchen project and we have a quantity of Pewter sheet metal offcuts available at reasonable prices.
The sheet will have some scuffs but these will blend out with polishing.

Research in 2015 indicates copper is effective against Coronaviruses and a very recent research paper published in March 2020 in the New England Journal of Medicine reports on Corona virus SARS-CoV-2 surface stability on Copper, Stainless Steel and Plastic.
The recent findings indicate the virus remains viable on Stainless Steel for up to 2 days and Plastic for up to 3 days, but only up to 4 hours on Copper though other research shown in NHS guidelines suggests corona viruses remain viable up to 5 days on inanimate objects in air conditioned environments and up to 8 hours on copper.
