Finishes & Materials
Finishes are defined and approved before procurement, not left to order stage.
Capramont & Co defines two finish and material families.
Heritage Finishes is our collection of solid metal cabinetry hardware, hand-finished in England, including seven living finishes on solid brass and one finish in solid stainless steel.
Atelier Materials is our premium performance-led collection, derived from high-precision engineering across marine, aerospace, and motor racing sectors, specified where performance requirements extend beyond appearance alone.
All selections are held within a single, controlled Hardware Schedule Pack.
Heritage Finishes
Heritage is Capramont & Co’s collection of solid metal cabinetry hardware, hand-finished in England.
The collection comprises eight finishes: Aged Brass, Fine English Antique Brass, Dark Aged Brass, Medium Bronze, Dark Bronze, Black, Satin Brass, and Satin Stainless Steel. Brass finishes patinate in use, while Satin Stainless Steel provides a cooler, more stable alternative.
Aged Brass
Warm and luminous, with the clearest brass tone in the collection.
A living finish on solid brass that deepens through handling and time.
For schemes that call for brass warmth and a finish that earns its character over time.
Fine English Antique Brass
Softer and more settled than brighter brass, with a traditional English character and greater tonal depth.
Matures gently with use.
For warmth and heritage character where overt brightness would be too forward.
Dark Aged Brass
Brass warmth with greater tonal restraint, deeper in character and more controlled in appearance, continuing to evolve through handling.
For darker brass in schemes that require control alongside warmth.
Medium Bronze
Sits between aged brass and darker bronze tones, adding architectural weight while retaining the warmth of the solid brass base.
For warmth with greater restraint and a stronger architectural presence.
Dark Bronze
Deep and substantial, with strong tonal weight and a clear architectural presence.
Continues to patinate and soften in use.
For darker palettes where depth and contrast are required across cabinetry.
Black
The sharpest and most graphic finish in the collection, with the depth and presence of hand-finished solid metal.
For schemes that demand contrast, definition, and darker detailing.
Satin Brass
A cleaner, more contained brass expression.
Softer in surface and lighter in tone, maturing with a more refined effect than darker finishes.
For contemporary schemes where brass warmth is required without overt richness.
Satin Stainless Steel
Cool and stable, with a cleaner and more consistent appearance than the living brass finishes.
For schemes that require a crisp, consistent metal finish with long-term visual stability.
Atelier Materials
Atelier Materials is Capramont & Co’s performance-led collection, derived from four decades of high-precision engineering across marine, aerospace, and motor racing. Where Heritage is built around the natural life of solid brass, Atelier is specified where performance requirements extend beyond appearance alone.
The collection addresses six key requirements: corrosion resistance, environmental stability, dimensional control, surface durability, strength-to-weight efficiency, and higher-performing base materials. Materials are organised across three technical sectors: Marine, Aerospace, and Motor Racing.
Naval Brass
Solid naval brass alloy with greater corrosion resistance than standard brass.
Performance comes from the alloy itself, not from a surface treatment.
For warm brass where greater durability is required in kitchens, utility areas, and coastal environments.
Nickel-Coated Naval Brass
A nickel finish on a solid naval brass substrate.
The technical advantage lies in both the coating and the underlying alloy.
For a nickel appearance with improved environmental stability and stronger long-term material integrity.
Marine-Grade Stainless Steel (316L)
Solid 316L stainless steel engineered for prolonged exposure to moisture, salt air, and atmospheric change.
For coastal properties, bathrooms, and high-humidity spaces where durability is the primary requirement.
Powdercoated Aluminium — Black
Precision-machined aluminium alloy with a controlled powder-coated black finish.
Lightweight, dimensionally stable, and highly consistent across units.
For a crisp black finish where surface uniformity and low visual variation are required.
Powdercoated Aluminium — White
Precision-machined aluminium alloy with a controlled white powder-coated finish, offering a lighter, dimensionally stable base and a cleaner, more consistent surface than painted alternatives.
For white finishes that remain sharp and visually controlled over time.
Carbon-Coated Stainless Steel — Black
Solid stainless steel with a carbon-based surface treatment producing a deep black finish with increased resistance to wear and marking.
For darker finishes across high-use cabinetry where long-term surface consistency matters.
Carbon-Coated Stainless Steel — Silver
Solid stainless steel with a carbon-based surface treatment in silver, retaining a clean metal appearance with enhanced durability.
For cool silver finishes in high-use environments where consistent performance is required.
Titanium
Solid titanium with high strength, low weight, inherent corrosion resistance, and long-term stability.
Performance is inherent to the material itself, not dependent on coating or surface treatment.
A contemporary finish where the material is the specification.
Atelier Performance Materials
Atelier extends cabinet hardware beyond decorative finish selection into material specification. The appropriate metal can be reviewed around moisture, salt air, handling, weight, appearance and the intended joinery application before production.
Stainless specification · selected applications
A 316L stainless-steel route for selected hardware where the project requires stainless material construction. Confirm the selected product and intended application before relying on this material route.
Warm solid metal
A warm brass material route for selected Atelier hardware where the character of brass is part of the specification and the project calls for a more material-led alternative to a conventional decorative finish.
Nickel appearance · naval-brass substrate
Combines a cooler nickel appearance with a naval-brass substrate on selected products where both the underlying construction and the final metallic character matter to the project.
Low weight · specialist metal
A specialist solid-metal route for selected hardware where low weight, material character and the requirements of the specific project make titanium relevant to the specification.
Repeated handling · selected high-use applications
A coated stainless-steel route for selected products where repeated handling, wear considerations and a darker material appearance form part of the project brief.
Low weight · controlled colour
A lightweight material route for selected specialist hardware where aluminium construction and a controlled black or white surface appearance suit the intended cabinetry application.
