What is a Patina Finish?

A patina finish is a controlled oxidation layer that forms on metal surfaces, creating a unique aged appearance. From soft bronze tones to bold blue-greens, patina finishes add character, depth, and texture to architectural and interior design elements.

At Atomic PVD, we enhance this timeless aesthetic with our cutting-edge PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) technology — combining the classic beauty of patina with industry-leading durability and precision.


Why Choose Patina Finishes for Your Project?

Architects, designers, and builders turn to patina for more than just visual impact. Here's why:

  • Artisan Aesthetic: Every patina finish is slightly different, creating one-of-a-kind surfaces that feel organic and intentional.

  • Depth & Texture: The layered appearance adds dimension to flat surfaces, perfect for statement walls, fixtures, or façades.

  • Longevity: Our PVD-coated patina finishes resist fading, corrosion, and wear — making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

  • Eco-Friendly Process: Unlike traditional chemical patination, our process is clean, controlled, and environmentally conscious.
