Zinc and Steel Finishes
Zinc or steel can easily complement a variety of styles, from industrial chic to minimalist elegance. With stunning finishes to suit your style, making it the perfect choice for both domestic and commercial applications.
Those finishes include:
- Lightly aged Zinc – A delicate grey embellished with a gentle patina, infusing warmth and subtle textures.
- Antique Zinc – A deep, burnished patina infused with smoky grey hues bringing warmth and depth.
- Corten Steel – Weathered – We have created weathered Corten steel sheets that are available cut to size.
- Blackened Steel – Our Blackened Steel represents the perfect harmony of raw industrial character and refined modernity.
Halman Thompson creates all products to order. Everything we sell is made by hand, by gifted artisans.
The process looks a little something like this:
We take your order and cut any shapes or designs to your exact specifications.
If you ordered an antique zinc finish, we apply the specialist ageing mixture to the zinc and monitor it carefully until it reaches the exact colour and patina you requested.
We stop the ageing process and prepare the zinc for the lacquer finish. The lacquer ensures the ageing process remains stopped and protects the metal to keep it looking amazing.
Once the lacquer has set, we’ll ensure the product looks its best and precisely meets your specifications. Only then will we dispatch your order.
Natural steel are prepared in a similar way, without the ageing. Lacquer is optional but recommended for some products.
Frequently Asked Questions

You can order a zinc or steel product through our store using the order form. Select the zinc or steel finish you want, the desired thickness and add it to the cart. For bespoke orders, use the contact form to tell us the exact finish, size, shape and design and we’ll put together a quote and go from there.
What’s the turnaround time for zinc or steel finishes?
As we create everything by hand, there is usually a 5-6 week turnaround time for most zinc or steel finishes. If your order is particularly large or complex, it may take longer. We will provide a firm deadline once you place your order. If you need a faster turnaround time, contact us directly and we will see what we can do.
Will the finish I get be like the sample or what I see on screen?
The finish will be very much like the sample we sent or what you see on screen. Our artisans create everything by hand and while we make every effort to deliver precision, there may be minor variation in colour, pattern or patina.
How do I use the product once it arrives?
You can use the product however you like once it arrives. How you fix it depends on the product in question. Many products like splashbacks can be installed using adhesive. Zinc and steel worktops and plinths can come affixed to wood and be fastened into place in the usual way. We provide full fitting instructions with every product, so you’ll always know what to do.
How do I look after my zinc or steel product?
What size can I order? Do you do large sizes?
You can order any size you like and we do create large sizes. The largest sheet size is 2000mm x 1000mm. If your order exceeds these dimensions, it will be made up of multiple sheets.
Can you cut shapes or designs?
Yes, we can cut shapes or designs. We use precision laser cutting and can integrate detailed designs into any sheet metal product. If you have something specific in mind, use the contact form for a bespoke quotation.
