Copper cladding solutions can mimic the evolving life of the patina surface along the timeline from five to fifty years. DLSS partners with architects, manufacturers, fabricators, and installers to create visually stunning facade cladding utilizing a variety of natural metals. The specialty finish was applied to composite natural copper materials that were selected for their ease of panel fabrication.ĭLSS Manufacturing is a high end provider of architectural sheet metal finishes, primarily for institutional use. While factory finishes were initially considered, the end solution culminated from a close collaboration between the architects and DLSS Manufacturing, specialty metal surface finish artisans. ![]() Copper was selected for its durability, distinctive beauty, variation, longevity, sustainability characteristics, and perhaps most importantly because it is an iconic material long associated in the Hamilton area with significant institutional buildings.īecause a patinated surface was required both inside and out, a custom, treated finish was preferred. ![]() The new David Braley Health Science Centre’s custom patinated copper panels are employed as the feature material for the buildings ‘dominant visual accents’. You can download a high resolution version of this texture and a matching bump map or CAD hatch (compatible with AutoCAD and Revit) using Architextures Create with a Pro Subscription.The McMaster University project in downtown Hamilton, Ontario earned DLSS Manufacturing a spot on the Copper Developement Associations North American Copper in Architecture Awards list. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations. This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. Each alternating course is offset by a half stretcher. Nouveau Original Blue Patina on an aluminum sheet using a primer, brass. The stretcher bond is one of the most common bonds used in masonry construction and uses stretchers, bricks laid flat with their long edge parallel to the wall. To use Traditional Blue Patinas on those surfaces, Prime-It and a Metal Coating. This texture uses a running pattern also known as a stretcher bond. The resulting finish is used for building cladding, facades, and for internal details and finishes. Ultimately, the material adopts a green hue after years of exposure. Patinated copper transitions through a variety of colours and textures during this process, from bright copper to a dark brown. Patinated copper describes any copper product that has been treated with a chemical process to cause a natural discolouration or fading during the life of the material. The joints are filled with mortar and are -25 mm (-1 inches) in width. Gorgeous casts of dark brown and black flow along the sheet creating a. The image represents a physical area of 3000 x 3000 mm (118.1 x 118.1 inches) in total, with each individual sheet measuring approximately 400 x 400 mm. A perfect blend of bronze and black colors can be found in the Zebra copper veneer. A seamless metal texture with patinated copper arranged in a stretcher pattern.
