Metal gives buildings character. It can make a modern facade sleek and powerful, provide contrast to a classic design, or give an entire exterior a luxurious, timeless look. From warm copper and elegant bronze to robust iron, brass, or a dark gunsmoke finish: Metal Design Coatings makes high-quality metal finishes possible for facades, facade elements, and custom architectural work.
This gives every design the freedom to work with form, material, and finish, without compromising on the authentic look of metal.
Metal cladding is popular in modern architecture, non-residential buildings, residential construction, retail, and hospitality. A metal surface responds to light, the environment, and weather conditions. As a result, a building acquires a lively appearance that continues to evolve over time.
Metal Design Coatings offers metal coatings suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The coating can be applied to various substrates and forms a strong metallic top layer with the visible and tactile properties of the chosen metal.
Our solutions are suitable for, among others:
By applying the same metallic finish to facade elements, profiles, fasteners, and interior accents, a cohesive overall look is created.
A coating from Metal Design Coatings is not metallic paint or an imitation layer. It consists of cold liquid metal based on real metals. After application, a durable metallic finish with a luxurious appearance is created, while the substrate and the original shape are preserved.
This makes it possible to finish lightweight materials, such as composite, plastic, polyester, wood, or other suitable sheet materials, with a real metal skin. The coating accurately follows contours, relief, and detailing, allowing even complex facade elements and custom shapes to be realized.
| Characteristic | Benefit for architecture and construction |
|---|---|
| Real metal as a finish | Authentic appearance, structure, and metal feel |
| Lightweight construction | Less strain on construction, transport, and assembly |
| Free choice of materials | Suitable carriers can be tailored to design and application. |
| freedom of form | Curved, organic, and detailed elements are also possible. |
| Seamless processing | Large or complex surfaces acquire a calm overall appearance. |
| Strong adhesion | Suitable for various architectural applications |
| Sustainable finish | A metal surface with a long-lasting, high-quality appearance |
For large construction projects, a lightweight metal coating also offers practical advantages. Facade elements can be prepared in advance, off-site or in a controlled workshop environment, and provided with a metallic finish. Subsequently, the prefabricated parts are delivered to the construction site ready for assembly.
This can contribute to a more efficient construction process, shorter assembly times, and greater control over the quality of the finish. Moreover, it is often possible to achieve a convincing metallic appearance using less massive metal.
An example: an architect designs a facade with a warm, oxidized copper appearance. Instead of using heavy copper plates, lightweight custom panels can be provided with a copper metal coating. This allows for large surfaces, complex angles, and integrated details, while the facade retains the same high-quality material feel.
No metal surface is the same. Lighting, structure, finishing, and natural aging give every finish its own character. Metal Design Coatings therefore offers scope for a wide range of metal types and finishes: from raw and industrial to polished, refined, or intentionally patinated.
Possible appearances include:
Together, we determine which substrate, metal type, structure, and protective finish best suit the location, application, and desired appearance.
Metal Design Coatings collaborates with architects, facade builders, contractors, interior builders, and designers. We provide input from material selection and test setup to technical elaboration and final finishing.
A successful architectural project requires coordination between design, substrate, application, installation, and maintenance. Therefore, we provide clear and practical advice on the possibilities of metal coatings for your facade, exterior detail, or overall concept.
