Brass sheet is a popular alloy of both copper and zinc, possessing low friction and acoustic properties. Among other things, this makes brass sheet metal particularly popular when it comes to making musical instruments. Because of its resemblance to gold, brushed brass sheet metal is also commonly used for decorative purposes. It is great for jewellery making, decorative applications, model making and brass worktops. In recent years, warm tones like brass, bronze and rose gold have become increasingly popular in home design.
