The intersection of art and function is the pinnacle of exceptional design, but it can be a hard ideal to achieve. No matter how grand the vision is, designers and architects face limitations when working with traditional materials such as metal. Metal, though durable, presents challenges for designs with curves, complex shapes, or fine details.
Grothouse’s Anvil™ Metal Finish is a groundbreaking finish that redefines the possibilities of design. With a coating of fine metal particles applied to our wood surfaces or a composite substrate, you can achieve the impossible – beautiful, heirloom-quality metal surfaces and accents unlike any other in the industry.
Unleash Your Design Potential
An incredible complement for furniture and wood surfaces, Anvil™ Metal Finishes empowers you to push the creative envelope and rethink what’s possible. With this innovative finish, you can design sophisticated moldings such as railings that are a step above the rest, floating shelves that seem to defy gravity with an effortless sheen, a bespoke range hood that lights up the kitchen with functional elegance, and furniture inlays that shimmer with subtle brilliance.
Interior design is just the beginning. When combined with exterior substrates, Anvil™ Metal surfaces offer an exceptional solution for outdoor living as well. Wood furniture often succumbs to the elements, gradually deteriorating under the onslaught of wind and rain, while metal furniture is durable but heats up under the sun. With its unparalleled durability, Anvil™ Metal instantly elevates outdoor designs with unexpected profile and finishing capabilities.

Anvil™ Metal Finishes are offered in eight unique metal finishes designed to complement your vision. From the warm glow of stainless steel (Axel) to the relaxed sophistication of pewter (Argentum), each color provides a distinct character that perfectly matches the aesthetic you seek. And, just like real metal countertops, surfaces with Anvil™ Metal Finish develop a rich, aged patina over time. These slight imperfections and variations in color are to be expected and are part of what makes each piece so unique. Our proprietary Durata® Overcoat will prevent the surfaces from patinating.
From simple tabletops to more intricate designs, Anvil™ Metal Finish is flexible enough for a wide range of applications and durable enough to hold up to everyday use. This Grothouse-exclusive product transcends the limitations of traditional wood and metal, unlocking a world of creative possibilities.
