DESCRIPTION
Bronze evokes effortless chic and classic style – it’s no wonder that people choose bronze when they want their project to impress. Our bronze kick plates are crafted from the most beautiful oil-rubbed bronze, and imitation bronze finishes for a rich and elegant appearance. Over time they will develop a natural patina that will only improve with age.
Our oil-rubbed and imitation bronze kick plates are hand finished with a protective wax application that will effectively preserve their gorgeous finish.
Bronze’s natural colour is a light golden hue, the result of its high levels of copper. Over time, the bronze darkens, and its patina becomes rich and multi-dimensional. Rubbing bronze with oil speeds up this process, resulting in a deep and rich patina that suits period properties and modern designs alike.
We also have a more cost-effective solution in bronze anodised aluminium. The solid aluminium plate features a deep matt bronze appearance that will not age or discolour over time.
It's worth noting there are quite different interpretations of bronze finished between manufacture, so one oil rubbed bronze may not precisely match another.
-
Bronze Aluminium
A matt Bronze/dark brown finish applied to the aluminium sheet. Bronze Aluminum is a more costeffective alternative to oil rubbed bronze and imitation bronze. You can also comfortably install this finish outside, where it will be exposed to the elements without it affecting the quality of finish.
-
Oil Rubbed Bronze
A dark brown/matt black finish that has a warming effect. It has subtle reddish brass tones to achieve an authentic-looking aged patina. The finish is sealed in with a protective beeswax finish.
-
Imitation Bronze (IBMA)
Imitation bronze metal antique, also known as IBMA. This is a deep and rustic finish with a truly classical finish. The protective beeswax can be reapplied to maintain this material's elegant finish.
Light-Duty
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
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
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.
Extra Heavy-Duty
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.
-
Pre Drilled Holes (Screws included) With this option, our Kicking plates will come pre-drilled and countersunk with matching fixing screws. We use countersunk Philips head wood screws which will sit flat on the kick plate once fixed. The size of the screw is 5/8 x 6” -

Bronze Aluminium
Routinely wipe the kickplate down with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Try to avoid using an abrasive sponge, as this may result in scratching the kick plate and damaging the surface. Be sure to dry the kick plate after cleaning to avoid water spots emerging.
Oil Rubbed Bronze
Routinely wipe the kickplate down with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Try to avoid using an abrasive sponge, as this may result in scratching the kick plate and damaging the surface. Be sure to dry the kick plate after cleaning to avoid water spots emerging. Some experts even suggest using "distilled" water in this mix, rather than tap water.
The surface of these kickplates is known as 'living finish' and will change over time, and they have a beeswax coating to protect the face. You can, however, reapply Beeswax to keep the finish in its pristine state.

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.
