Create matching design and material specifications across a range of products and fixtures
In addition to large PVD coloring chambers we have chambers with rigs in which we color small components, fixtures and architectural ironmongery.
We can color stainless steel:-
- Structural components such as spider brackets
- Architectural ironmongery, lever door handles, pull-handles and knobs
- Handrail brackets
- Balustrade components and clamps
- Light sockets and switches, back plates
For the fabrication or re-coloring of small components and architectural fixtures Double Stone Steel PVD colored stainless steel has the following benefits:-
- Replicates more expensive materials such as bronze, brass, rose gold and gold
- Non-tarnishing, does not develop a verdigris or patina, maintains original appearance
- Durable and scratch-resistant
- UV-light stable, does not fade
- Corrosion and weather-resistant making it suitable for exterior use
- Salt-water resistant making it suitable for exterior and marine environments and in areas where salt is used for street-cleaning
For manufacturers PVD coloring your stainless steel products can extend your range to include popular colors such as Bronze, Brass, Rose Gold, Black and Gunmetal.
For architects, product designers and interior designers you can create harmonious design specifications with seamlessly matching colors and finishes across your design scheme.
