Have plans to install a "threshold" in copper between two floors. We will open up a wall between the dining room (oak parquet) and the kitchen to make it more airy but do not want wooden flooring in the kitchen. It will look a bit odd with two different floors in "one and the same room," so I thought a copper threshold/list would fit well. I've written to a lot of sheet metal workers about it but have received no replies. Has anyone done something similar and knows where to turn?
I don't think copper is suitable as a threshold/floor trim, brass is more common - isn't that enough?

Talk to a blacksmith instead, a tinsmith usually works with very thin sheet metal.
But a good thing to know is that if water gets on copper, it discolors wood like oak! It becomes completely black in that area.
Personally, I think a bit of life and stains are nice and would also choose copper over, for example, brass.
