Surface Library

Materials
& Finishes

Every SHYDOOR surface begins as a material study—worked through relief, reflection, texture and inlay before it becomes an architectural entrance.

A wall installation of sculpted copper material studies
Made for each project

Copper is not simply coloured. It is shaped by surface, depth and light.

These studies introduce the visual direction of the current finish library. Colour, scale and relief can be refined for the architecture, door design and lighting conditions of each commission.
