Product Information

The next step was to escape from the mess and hassle of wet painting our products. We installed a high end powder coating booth, spray gun and oven. This gives us a better finish, and a huge variety of finishes too. But the biggest advantage, we can now paint and ship items the same day instead of waiting for a week or two for the wet paint to be dry enough. After accelerating the ageing process of these copper sheets we seal each one with a gloss lacquer. This creates a brilliant finish and prevents further ageing of the sheet. Lacquer is essentially a coating of paint and should be treated and cleaned as such. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaning items as this with wear away the lacquer and chase the metal to continue to age and change. With the help of Rapid Metals, you can provide your customers with exactly the dimensions they need to bring their projects to life. This way, they’ll be able to adhere to their exact project requirements, which significantly reduces wastage. Minimising wastage is of the utmost importance, as environmental friendliness is more of a priority than it has ever been before. The Unique Properties of Copper

Non-allergenic copper is often worn by people as bracelets to improve their health. Arthritis sufferers claim copper bracelets makes them feel better. As a good conductor of both heat and electricity, copper is highly sought after and can be alloyed with tin, zinc, and lead to form different brasses with diverse properties.Copper has great anti-corrosion properties due to the natural development of a striking blue and green patina that covers the surface once exposed to air and moisture- this natural colour changing protection of copper is often intentionally chosen to be used on architectural features, roofs, and within art and sculpture installations. There are plenty of reasons why someone would opt for copper over other metals. For instance, copper boasts good corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity, and excellent electrical conductivity. Similarly, copper is especially ductile, meaning that it can be moulded accordingly. This isn’t to mention the reddish-brown colour of copper, which contributes to its aesthetic, making it ideal for decorative pieces. Common Uses of Copper

Whatever size, we will cut the exact amount you need and deliver copper sheets straight to your door. Copper plate or sheet is widely used in furniture making, brewing vessels, refrigeration, industrial, commercial, and electrical applications.

Due to the above properties, copper is commonly used in the creation of motors, wiring, and other electrical equipment. This is on top of its place in plumbing, roofing, and other modes of construction. Additionally, copper is also often used in the likes of heat exchangers and other industrial machinery.

This now allowed us to cut the keyrings that started our journey as well as improving the cut quality of all our metal art work. It was not long before we had to move to a larger industrial premises and the closest destination available at the time was in the west Cumbrian coastal town of Millom. This is now where we produce all of our products and house our machinery. Millom has a long history of metal works and although the Iron works are now gone we feel like we've ended up in the right spot. The Source Battersea restaurant has recently installed our Bronzed Copper panels to its bar front. General Information In a blink of an eye there were simply not enough hours in the day and we started employing some incredible staff and had to hang up the one man band hat. The team has only got stronger over the years, and everyone enjoys the process of bringing our creations to life. And I have to admit it's true that often someone else can do something better than you can yourself, even if it was a little daunting handing over control of parts of the process to someone else.

Copper does not like acids or salt, so if a spillage occurs, rinse immediately with fresh water and then dry with a soft cloth. Your item will be shipped on a 24 hour AM service (some exceptions may occur such as pallet items where next day service will be booked). Copper sheet is a versatile metal with unique properties and excellent corrosion resistance that make it useful for various applications. It can be easily formed into complex shapes, and when used outdoors, it develops an attractive natural greenish patina, protecting the metal from further corrosion.Cleaning: On lacquered finished products use warm soapy water only with microfibre cloths. Do not use acidic or alkaline based products. Copper is a pure metal requiring no extraction from an ore. It was the first metal to be cast into shape in a mould around 5000 BCE. It is also a component of various alloys such as brass and bronze and is often added in smaller quantities to aluminium alloys and Corten steel. Your item will be shipped on a 24 hour courier (there maybe a few exceptions such as very heavy items over 60Kg which will require a 48 hour pallet service).

After accelerating the natural ageing and antiquing process of our copper sheets we typically finish our work using a gloss lacquer. Copper ore is mined from deep underground, then taken away to be cleaned, crushed and milled. It then undergoes several chemical processes and put into an electro-refining tank for purification, before it is eventually melted down and cast into ingots, rods, or cakes. To make copper sheet, these chunks of copper are then rolled out flat. If you’re on the hunt for a sheet of copper, Rapid Metals has got you covered. We provide anything ranging all the way from 1mm copper sheets to 2.5mm copper sheets, meaning it’s easier than ever to get your hands on all manner of copper sheets in the UK. What’s more, the length of our copper sheets is always customisable, allowing wastage to be minimised as much as possible. Copper is also used as a biocide to control pests on plants. It is often used to remove fungi that grow on leaves. In France copper fungicide is used on vines that produce grapes for wine. After a few evenings of slightly over ambitious hunting on the internet I decided that I could just about afford a CNC Plasma machine. This particular machine was an air plasma and it uses compressed air and electricity to make an incredibly hot plasma cutting arc that moves over the metal plate.Lakeland Steel (Laser Factory Ltd) is a laser cutting company based in the Lake District, Cumbria. All our products are designed and produced here. Among the peaceful hills with the odd ball of wool trotting around, we're buzzing away creating things we feel are special. We are just as happy cutting customers parts, or producing our own products. If you need some metal and don't or can't create it yourself, then we're happy to help. Copper sheet produced from C106 has excellent formability and ductility, it can be easily cut using all hand tool, mechanical, and flame cutting methods. It is also easy to join by using electric arc methods such as flux cored arc welding, soldering, and brazing which all achieve excellent results. Coins have been made from copper for centuries, coins are passed from hand to hand innumerable times and because of its antibacterial properties this diminishes the chances of passing on infections. Not only does this create a brilliant finish but it prevents further ageing of the metal therefore preserving the look and design created. A few years passed of non stop ideas and projects before we upgraded to a powerful 6kw laser and we were finally plasma free in 2020. All our metals up to 30mm can now be cut by laser.
