PLASTICS, METALS & CERAMICS

 The longevity and quality of the
ceramic print means that it’s ideal
for feature walls, splash backs, back
lit bars and shower screens.

The digital printing technology

reproduces photo realistic detail
and means that it can replicate
textures such as wood grains,
metal meshes, marble and stone
for a more cost-effective cladding
equivalent.
The panels undergo a two stage
print process, and were then fired
during the toughening process. The
ceramic inks used for the process
are hard wearing – scratch, water
 
and UV resistant

PLASTICS
 METALS ADVANTAGE

1) Metal is versatile and is adaptable to any type of

commercial and private space. The varying forms of
metals ( ie: polished brass, bight copper, shimmering
aluminum, painted metals) offers endless interior design
ideas.

2) Aesthetically, metal brings in new trends and bodes

well with any style. It brings solidity to a space and often
times, livens up an otherwise boring and uninspired area.

3) Durability – Metal is set to withstand the normal

wear and tear better than other materials. Metals are
guaranteed to have a life span of more than 40 years. To
further promote durability, a protective coating can be
applied when use as an interior lining. Ants and termites
can damage wood but certainly not metals.

4) Hygienic and safe – Hospitals and kitchens

worldwide have used metal for this reason. They are
easy to maintain and kept clean.

5) Metal is green – Metal is fully recyclable, without METALS

losing its performance quality. Perforated metal
can contribute to reducing wasted energy, as it promotes
air flow. It can also function as exterior shades to filter
