We were recently approached by a customer seeking a custom shower in a distinctive black brass finish. Working with the customer, we created a unique variation of one of our existing shower designs. This project offered an exciting opportunity to further expand upon our range of finishes.

Design process of custom matt black shower by Proper Copper Design

Above: The shower went through a number of different changes before the final design was decided upon. 3D models and technical drawings were drafted in order to finalise the design. 

We were provided a sample of the desired finish: a deep, almost black shade of brass. While we had previously achieved similar finishes on copper, this was our first time working with this particular finish with brass. Achieving the right shade and consistent coverage required experimenting with various techniques.

The final design featured a unique horizontal layout, complete with drainage to allow outdoor use and ensure proper water runoff during cold winter temperatures. This custom shower is now showcased in our new Farmhouse bathroom collection. As always, all specialist finishes are available upon request.
