RAL Colours

We can create panels in any RAL colour in either gloss, satin or matt finishes.  Satin finish is our most popular finish by far as it is easy to clean, does not show finger marks, and does not reflect light from every angle.

Whilst we can source any colour and finish, prices provided are typically for standard in stock colours which are our most popular -such as satin white, satin black, light grey and selected others. We stock more than 100 colours so please contact us with your requirements. Non stock colours are available at an extra cost.

Powder Coating with RAL Standard Colours

This is by far the most popular way we finish all bespoke laser cut screens and panels. It is a polyester coloured powder electrostatically applied to metal and then baked in an oven to cure. This ensures the finish is hardwearing, easy to clean and robust.

This finish is suitable to all internal screens for the home, restaurant or any commercial interior.

For exterior use, we also zinc prime before the RAL Colour is applied for added protection against the weather.

Powder Coating with Metallic Colours

Powder coats are available in popular metallic finishes such as gold, silver and bronze. These are our most popular finishes. The reflective metallic finishes available in powder coating vary from colour to colour. The silver metallic finish for example is not chrome, or even similar to chrome. Such highly reflective finishes are available, and are listed in a later section.

Examples of our metallic powder coated finishes can be viewed by clicking on the image below.

Brass, Nickel, Copper and Chrome plating

This plating process provides the greatest reflective metallic finish. Metals are electroplated with thin coatings of each metal. Please note that brass, chrome and nickel plated finishes are available for screens of a certain size (typically no more than 1500mm x 2950mm maximum), although this maximum panel size reduces for plating from colour to colour) and are only suitable for internal use, and in areas where there is no moisture such as bathrooms. These plated finishes should also be used only in areas where there is a reduced risk of scratching or wear and tear. Lead times for this finishes also vary from colour to colour as we never supply plated screens without considerable quality checking for colour consisting and blemishes.

Antique Brass and Bronze finishes with optional patina

It is possible to create a wide range of antique brass and antique copper finishes with our 5 stage painting process, We can paint any solid material and can colour match against a sample material or image.

Once the brass or copper paint has been applied, we can then apply a misted, brushed or dappled patina to create a unique bespoke look for your projects. We can also, as the image below shows, an option to apply the patina in depths of colour as well as localise where the darker patina is applied.
