Description
A Copper Grate is a decorative and functional vent block that looks like a metal grill and is ideal for workshops docks and industrial builds where ventilation and texture are desired. The grate allows partial visibility through to the other side while suggesting a crafted metal finish that ties into copper based design schemes. Builders use grates to add fine detail to walls floors and ceilings and to create believable ventilation systems in factories and ship holds. The block is also useful for covering machinery and for decorative floor panels where a slightly transparent effect and metal look is preferred over solid blocks. Copper Grates pair well with copper doors and with copper trapdoors to create a consistent hardware style and they work with lighting to create subtle patterns of shadow and shine that improve visual interest in builds.
