Will the rust continue spreading after installation?
No, we seal the surface once oxidation reaches the desired level. The chemical reaction stops completely, and the finish remains stable. Your walls will not rust further or stain anything nearby.
Controlled Weathering
What Are Oxidation Finishes?
Oxidation finishes use real metal particles that undergo controlled rusting to create authentic patina effects. We apply iron, copper, or bronze-based materials and activate the oxidation process to achieve those signature rust tones and verdigris greens.

Why Choose Oxidation Finishes?
Oxidation effects offer something no other finish can: surfaces that evolved through a real chemical process. Each wall becomes genuinely unique, with organic patterns impossible to replicate.

FAQs
FAQs
Questions about our oxidation and rust effect finishes. These unique surfaces deserve proper explanation before you commit.
What metal effects can you create?
We work with iron (rust tones), copper (verdigris greens and blues), and bronze patinas. Each metal oxidizes differently, creating distinct color palettes. We can also blend effects for custom results.
Is oxidation finish suitable for exterior use?
Our interior oxidation finishes are designed for protected environments. For exterior applications, we use different products and techniques. We are happy to discuss outdoor options during consultation.
How long does the oxidation process take?
The full process typically takes 3-5 days depending on the desired intensity. We apply the metal-based plaster, activate oxidation, monitor development, and seal at the right moment. Rushing produces inferior results.
Can oxidation be applied to any surface?
We can apply oxidation finishes to most properly prepared surfaces. Walls, columns, furniture pieces, and architectural elements all work well. We assess each project and advise on preparation requirements.
