Does brushed aluminium develop patina over time?
Yes, and that’s expected. The finish is raw aluminium, sanded by hand and left unsealed, so it’s designed to pick up a patina with use over time. Because each finish is hand-applied, you’ll notice subtle, natural variation in the finish from one piece to the next, no two are exact copies of each other, much like the grain in wood or the texture in leather. That’s part of what makes it feel like a crafted material rather than a mass-produced one. If you’d rather have a perfectly uniform finish with no variation, our powder-coated options (like Light Grey) are the better fit, sprayed and cured for an even result every time, with no patina to expect.
How do I clean it?
Clean with a soft cloth and acetone, never use citrus-based or acidic products. That’s all routine care really needs; nothing more specialized is required. Keep in mind the patina will keep evolving naturally over time, so the finish won’t stay exactly as it looked on day one, and that’s expected. If you notice uneven marks developing, like a ring left by a glass of water or smudges from handling it with damp or sweaty hands, wiping with acetone can help even out that patina rather than leave it patchy.
Is brushed aluminium suitable for a bathroom?
Not recommended, oxidation happens faster there and the patina that develops isn’t a good one. A powder-coated finish (e.g. Light Grey) is the better choice for bathrooms.
