Copper and its alloys have a long history in hardware products
for residential and commercial buildings.
In addition to electrical wire, communications wire, and plumbing
tube, copper and its alloys are often used for residential locks,
doorknobs, switchplates, screws, window louvers, interior building
finishes, and elaborate bathroom and kitchen fixtures.
Advanced processing technologies are producing brilliant new
finishes for brass building hardware products. These products
are long lasting, too, which has positioned brass as a "prestige
factor" in the premium line of building hardware products.
And brass hardware can be polished and lacquered to preserve
its natural color, or toned from bronze to brown to blue-black
and black for decorative effects. |
