Product • By DaubyRaw Bronze

Raw Bronze

Raw Bronze is the purest form of bronze, an alloy of copper and tin. After casting, the fitting is finished without being polished. As a result, the material takes on an ideal Living Finish from the start. Customers themselves systematically polish the fitting, simply by using it. Environmental factors such as humidity also lend the fitting a darker, warm colour. This Living Finish further emphasises the authenticity of natural materials. More

Product • By AGC Glass EuropeClassico - Ambachtelijk

Classico - Ambachtelijk

Until 1960, window glass was made by drawing and, up to 1920, even hand-blown. The tiny distortions and irregularities caused by these processes create the special light and reflection effects characteristic of old and historic buildings. AGC’s Classico range combines atmospheric charm with present-day insulation and safety requirements. How it works Due to the manufacturing processes used in the past, the original glazing in monuments and historic buildings, although appealing, no longer meets our current standards of comfort. AGC’s Classico comes in various thicknesses which both preserve an authentic atmosphere and guarantee high insulation values. The Classico range includes a wide variety of coatings and uses various rare gases to... More
