Aged Metal - Evolution is a well established, tried, tested and unique range of beautiful and striking patina effects. Dark and red rust, terracotta, copper patina, shimmering silver, bronze and gold
Suitable for external architectural projects and interior design on flat, profiled, fabricated and assembled materials including architectural aluminium and galvanized steel, balustrade, balconies, rainscreen, facade and curtain wall, soffit, capping and flashing, trims and decorative elements, louvres and solar shading.
Using conventional powder coating technology, applied via a unique process Evolution finishes are exciting and interesting creating beautiful patina effects on the on the surface of metal. The powders used have excellent UV stability whilst below the surface is a metal preparation that gives the finish a long service life ensuring that product performance and specifications are robust and comprehensive. These finishes are all A2-S1-d0 tested and approved for fire compliance and can be used in any construction project. Evolution finishes reflect the patinas caused naturally by metallic oxidation, ageing and changes in composition.
Evolution powders combine excellent visual detail with high protective performance.
