DESCRIPTION
Brass has a traditional and timeless style; its elegance often makes it the go-to choice for the most prestigious projects. Our polished brass kick plates are carefully crafted from a solid brass sheet and will develop a beautiful natural patina over time.
We also offer a range of aged and antiqued brass kick plates. These are hand-finished products with protective beeswax applied to preserve the finish. These are great for historical properties as they often match more period fittings.
Brass Kick Plates have become even more popular in recent years with the introduction of 'PVD Brass' to the market. PVD is a stainless steel kick plate titanium coated to look just like a polished brass kickplate. Due to its stainless steel core, it offers exceptional strength compared to regular brass. It will not tarnish or age over time as a solid brass kick plate will. This high tech finish also carries a lower price point to traditional brass, making it more affordable and offering higher performance. We consider it a wonder material as it can be installed in pretty much any location.

Our polished brass Kick plates are manufactured from solid brass sheets. The radiant surface is polished to perfection. Please note, This material is NOT lacquered, which will allow the ageing process to develop a more sombre patina. You can prevent this with regular cleaning using a specialist brass polish. If you want a polished brass appearance that required little to no maintenance and will maintain its shine, we recommend you chose the PVD brass finish instead.
Satin Brushed Brass PVD Kick plates have an elegant and warm brushed grain finish. The material is strong due to its steel core and the PVD coating ensures this material can be used inside and outside without fear of tarnishing or discolouring.
Our entry-level kick plates are predominantly for decorative purposes. Whist they will still offer some level of protection to the door, they can only be fitted on a door with a low volume of traffic.
Standard-duty is our most commonly used thickness; it is typically the go-to choice for domestic doors and office buildings. Standard duty kick plates offer a great deal of protection while benefiting from good aesthetics. It is suitable for locations with moderate usage.
Heavy-duty kick plates must be installed where additional strength may be required—often used in locations with a greater footfall like public buildings, hospitals, and restaurant kitchen doors. These plates will also offer a great deal of protection against impact from trucks and carts.
Our thickest sheets are often used when the strength and impact resistance of the door protection plate is crucial. Servicing areas like industrial warehouses where the level of impact could be high would call for the extra heavy-duty option.

Antibacterial coated kick plates.
As people around the world are reeling from the global Covid-19 pandemic, it’s essential to look for ways to reduce the spread of the virus and possible future viruses. At Kick Plate Direct, were doing our small part and addressing this concern head-on with the introduction of antimicrobial coating to our range of kick plates, which will now be available as an optional extra. This protective antibacterial coating fights viruses in public buildings, allowing you to operate safely with peace of mind.
The coating is a clear lacquer finish that is applied to the kick plates at the point of manufacture. The applied coating is barely visible on most materials, allowing the style of your kick plates to shine through. It prevents 99.9% of mold growth, bacteria, biofilm, and viruses for the entire lifetime of the product. Its efficacy has made it a favorite for industries around the world and is tested to the JIS Z 2801 and ISO 22196 international standards.
We recommend the antimicrobial coating be used in hospitals, care homes, public buildings, and schools – the places where safety and hygiene matter the most. We especially recommend the antibacterial coating be applied to push plates and pull handles, which are used by hands. Adding this treatment to kick plates will help fight against cases of flu, colds, and other viruses for years to come.
How does it work?The antimicrobial technology works by embedding silver ions in the material substrate. These ions destabilize the virus-cell, prevent it from replicating, and effectively kill it.
It is entirely safe and comprised of substances approved by the EPA, EFSA, and FDA. It does not include nano-silver, triclosan, or any other organic antimicrobial additives that have environmental concerns. The coating does not wear off, as it is completely incorporated into the kick plate material. It will remain active for the lifespan of the product. We can have the coating applied to any of our kick plates, and they can be installed in any location, both inside and outside.
