Description
An exposed copper grate is a decorative panel that shows an aged copper patina with a lattice like pattern. It is useful for vents window covers and for crafting decorative fences that let light and air through while keeping the visual theme of weathered metal. The grate works as a detailed trim element that brings texture and interest to walls and panels where a plain surface would be boring. The exposed finish gives a sense of age and helps create a lived in feeling in industrial or maritime builds. Because it is decorative the grate does not block light completely which makes it useful in places where you want visibility and ornamentation at the same time. Builders use grates to create balconies ventilation covers and ornamental barriers that match an exposed copper palette.
