Polishing : The surface of a product is finished either with manual
or machine polishing. A brass surface will gradually develop a patinous coat, if
it is not lacquered.
Brushing : The surface of brushed (belt- polished) basic material
is lacquered in order to prevent corrosion. It is worth noting that as a result
of heavy use the lacquered surface will eventually wear.
Lacquer : This is a clear or coloured varnish that dries by solvent
evaporation and often a curing process as well that produces a hard, durable finish,
in any sheen level from ultra matte to high gloss and that can be further polished
as required. This protects the base surface or finish against environmental factors
such as oxidation.
Powder Painting : The surface of the brass material is sprayed
with polyester powder paint (at temperatures of 180-200˚ c). The paint is fixed
to the surface of the material forming a hard film on it. It is worth noting that
painted surfaces wear out with heavy use.
Satin Chrome Plating : The surface of the basic material is first
electroplated with a protective layer of semi- gloss nickel. A satin nickel layer
of the same thickness is then applied on top of this, and finally a layer of chrome.
Galvanizing : By means of electrolysis, a zinc layer is applied
to the surface of the base material. On the top of this, a shiny chromium plating
is applied in order to improve its resistance to corrosion.
Anodizing : An oxide coating is electrolytically applied to the
material in order to provide it with a coating that will protect it from both corrosion
and wearing out.
Antique : We can achieve a finish that gives a natural Antique
or Rust appearance. The finish can also be standardized so that it appears with
minimal variations even with different products, metals or shipments. Using a variety
of techniques and chemicals, we hand finish each item to achieve the desired finish.
PVD. : Physical Vapor Deposition coatings are extremely thin, usually
.05 microns thick. The process involves the deposition of zirconium nitride, titanium
nitride, or other metallic ion combinations under low vacuum conditions. Several
colours such as Brass and Stainless Steel are possible. This finish allows our customers
to give a lifetime guarantee on the finish (resistance to wear, discoloration and
corrosion)
