Intended for use on architectural metalwork, external and internal, including mild steel, cast metals, stainless steel, aluminium and MDF (internal).

Suitable for the following environments: Interior Dry (C1), Rural (C2), Urban (C3).

Metalite should be applied in conjunction with an appropriate primer and sealant.

Typical applications include:

• Architectural metalwork; balustrades and railings; balconies; feature steelwork handrails; Juliet balconies; cosmetic steelwork; staircases; facade cladding; architectural cast iron; gates; sculptures; public realm furniture; feature structural steel; curtain walling; canopies; planters.

The Metalite Range of luxury finishes is a timeless crafted collection of outstanding and unrivalled real metal finishes applied to the substrate. Finishes include Antique Bronze, Antique Brass, Real Bronze, Real Brass, Oiled Bronze and Cast Effect Metals.

Features and benefits:

• Hand-crafted finish: this real metal finish can be aged, distressed or simply left to age gracefully. It is a hand-finished process creating variances which will only add to the authenticity of the finish. Metalite brings together the art of careful craftsmanship and partners very well with the architectural market where quality and consistency are paramount.
• Premium aesthetics: It has a rich patina which gives it an authentic, aged appearance.
• Variety of finishes: Metalite is available in several different finishes: Aged Brass, Antique Brass, Real Brass, Warm Brass, Bronze, Antique Bronze, Oiled Bronzed and Cast-effect metals.
• Consistency of finish: Metalite provides a consistent finish whereas welds can patinate differently on solid metals such as bronze and brass.
• Versatile application: Metalite provides more substrate and fabrication choice providing architects with greater flexibility of application. Suitable for interior and exterior use where there are high demands on appearance.
• Structural loading requirements: unlike special metals such as bronze and brass, designs can use mild steel coated in Metalite to meet structural loading requirements.
• Anti-fingerprint technology: with its anti-fingerprint technology, the seal coat eliminates the need to keep wiping and polishing fingerprint marks from the surface.
• Enhanced durability: Metalite Coatings boast exceptional durability, resisting delamination, cracking, scuffing, peeling or chipping.
• Cost-effective: Metalite is commonly chosen as a more cost effective option than special metals, providing additional value when budgets are under pressure.

Sustainability:

• The Metalite System offers a cost-effective and eco-conscious alternative to solid metal, cast foundry pieces and metallic coatings.
• Its metalizing process significantly reduces VOC emissions and resource consumption.
• With a low-VOC binder system, it requires only one coat for coverage, unlike water-based options.
• Composed primarily of real metal, it emits minimal vapors during application, and it's cold application process eliminates burn pollution associated with traditional foundries, conserving resources and reducing emissions.

In summary, Metalite is environmentally friendly and conserves resources. By utilizing recycled materials, it's a sustainable choice, surpassing water-based paints in eco-friendliness. With minimal resin content, Metalite reduces airborne emissions, further contributing to environmental preservation.
