Yes. We can match a railing to existing brass or bronze door hardware, light fixtures, and fittings, and tune the finish to sit alongside them. Because we fabricate and finish in-house, we can also blend brass or bronze with steel, glass, or wood in one railing, which suits Redmond's modern interiors where mixed metals are common.

Yes, and bronze is ideal. Outdoors it weathers to a protective patina instead of corroding. For exterior railings with more exposure, we use silicon bronze, the marine-grade alloy, so the damp poses no risk. Polished brass can go outside but patinas faster in the moisture, so we typically steer exterior projects toward bronze or a living finish.

Brass develops a patina as it reacts with the air. To keep it bright, we lacquer it, and upkeep is just occasional dusting. To let it age into a warmer tone, we leave it unlacquered. A living-finish bronze is designed to age and needs essentially no maintenance, which suits a modern, low-fuss home. We will recommend the approach that fits your railing.

They are both warm copper alloys with different character. Brass, copper and zinc, is brighter and golden and takes a high polish, which suits refined interior railings. Bronze, copper and tin, is warmer and browner and weathers to a stable patina, the traditional outdoor choice. In Redmond we mostly use brass to warm up modern interiors and bronze for exterior and architectural work, and we will recommend the right one.
