What is the difference between Brass and Bronze material and their use in architectural grilles and metal work?

Brass is an alloy that contains copper and usually zinc.  It has underlying “gold” tones which can vary depending on the amount of zinc it contains.

Satin Brass #4

It is an excellent conductor of heat and cold and is used for perforated metal grilles and panels, radiator enclosures, bar grilles and other architectural metal work. It is also extremely malleable and can be shaped and bent to various shapes and contours.


Bronze is an alloy containing copper and usually tin.  The tin helps create a stronger alloy and also imparts a slightly subdued goldish tone with reddish undertones. As compared to brass which has more of a gold tone.

Satin Bronze #4

Bronze is often used to match historical finishes and architectural details.  It is also an excellent conductor of heat and cold.

The copper in both of these alloys causes them to darken first and then progress to a patina if the copper content is high.  Many historical statues and sculptures have this appearance.

As a high end residential general contractor in NYC, our clients expect nothing but the best, and AAG consistently delivers.  We turn to them time and time again for their excellent communication skills and their outstanding end product.

Peter

AAG was able to help us in a pinch, and was an overall great experience from start to finish.  Not only did we get a proposal turned around in a day, but they provided valuable input on the application of a custom bronze grille design which will make installation a breeze.  Artistry in Architectural Grilles will become our go to in the future on the rest of our projects!

-Peter

Cassie

I recently purchase two, 14×4 grilles online from your firm.  They arrived promptly, and they’re installed and the client loves the look.
