Patina evolution at front door (UV exposure)

Important consideration for unlacquered brass on the front door. Faster patina with UV exposure: the front door is typically south- or west-oriented → intense UV exposure. Patina develops faster than with indoor applications (1-3 years vs. 2-5 years indoors). Irregular patina possible: areas with direct sun exposure may form patina faster than sheltered areas. Creates visual variation in patina evolution. For those who find this undesirable: choose lacquered or titanium PVD. Maintenance: for desired stable patina control: polish paste once every 2-3 months. For authentic patina evolution: let it develop naturally and use only a damp cloth for dust removal. For long-term stability without maintenance: choose titanium PVD brass front door hardware (15+ years UV resistant without patina).
