We have developed a variety of unique finishes suitable for any interior or exterior project.

SOLID BRASs

Learn more about maintaining our solid brass finishes.

Our living finishes are designed to change with time and use. Our brass components are polished and then treated using a number of different processes to change the surface, either by accelerated aging as with the Vintage and Burnished finishes or brushing as with our Satin Brass.

All living finishes are finished with a highly durable wax, which will wear according to use, we do not use Lacquer, so as to avoid uneven blotchy wear. Brass living finishes can be used outdoors, but will be subject to the specific atmosphere of the location and change accordingly.

AMALFINE™

Turnstyle Designs own proprietary composite blend of materials has been perfected since 1992. Each finish is made up of its own unique blend of materials that run throughout the handle. Every piece is hand cast and hand machined before being finished in 2-3 separate processes that can take up to four hours to produce the perfect finish.

Warm to the touch, tactile and incredibly detailed our Amalfine™ finishes are also extremely durable and maintenance free. Each design and pattern translates differently according to the finish, see our website to view all designs in all finishes. Please note Amalfine™ designs are recommended for interior use only. Learn more about maintaining our Amalfine™ finishes.
