The gas in the torch combines with the air to cause a chemical reaction with the copper alloy surface. Thanks to the extremely thin but super hard PVD coating this hardware finish is suitable for any interior and exterior. The polished version has a finer brushing and longer buffing process in manufacturing whereby a highly reflective surface, like a mirror is created. Field repair is possible but expensive, since it involves extensive hand operations. Hand-rubbed finishes are produced by rubbing with No. Painted finishes are typically only available with medium or light duty devices. Some high-end plumbing fixtures are finished with electroplated gold. These finishes are the most frequently used mechanical treatments for architectural copper metals. Synthetic patinas are normally produced by the action of acid-chloride or acid-sulfate treatments in which the reagents are applied by brushing, sponging, stippling or spraying. Clear coatings are compounded from synthetic or natural resins, oils or combinations of the three, usually applied as solutions in a volatile solvent. 0000004925 00000 n

However, satin nickel is typically used for residential applications and rarely used in commercial buildings. Early field applied synthetic patination methods yielded coatings that were prone to flaking off, nonuniformity in color and staining of adjacent materials. 0000011981 00000 n

Apply oils and waxes by hand rubbing with a well-saturated cloth, followed by a second rubbing with a clean cloth to remove excess finish.

Commercial locks are available in a variety of finishes to complement each other and other hardware that you may already have in your building. The PVD layer is ultra-thin, but also extremely strong, which result into a long lasting colour. A synthetic patina can mitigate these effects; although, one that appears too uniform might look contrived until further, natural weathering takes its course. \b1)b.lgEAZs

Followed by buffing with aluminum oxide buffing compounds with peripheral wheel speed of 7,000 ft/min (36 m/s). If budget is a concern but heavy-duty hardware is required, anodized aluminum is a good option. For example, unspecified rolled finishes can range from dull to bright and might contain stains imparted by the residues of rolling oils. While the look is important, when choosing the best finish for your commercial design project, it should not be the deciding factor on door hardware, particularly for commercial use.

Is one of our latest innovations. Matte, dull finishes produced by hot rolling, extruding, casting or cold rolling followed by annealing. Sulfide treatments are similar in color to oxide finishes but are produced by dipping, spraying or brushing the surface with reagents such as potassium sulfide, sodium sulfide, ammonium sulfide and, less frequently, antimony pentasulfide, the latter applied as a paste. They are the least expensive finishes, and, while they may contain imperfections, they are uniform enough with sheet goods for applications such as roofing and wall cladding. Textured, patterned and embossed finishes are produced in light-gauge material by passing sheet between two engraved match-design rolls, impressing patterns on both sides of the sheet (embossing) or between a design roll and a smooth one, thus coining only one side of the sheet. Common conversion coatings include patinas (commonly called "verdegris"), and statuary (oxidized) finishes.2, Patinas are formed by a variety of methods, all accomplishing in minutes what occurs over years in nature.

Although it was officially discontinued decades ago, it is still used by some hardware manufacturers and architects today. Ultimately, the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) established an industrywide numerical system, which is now widely used for hardware items. Sprayed and air-dried films are normally specified for exterior uses. This is usually a custom artistic treatment accomplished by gas-torching the metal surface to create patterns of colors. These are matte finishes produced by spraying sand or metal shot against the metal surface. Field application is occasionally necessary for colored or oxidized finishes and for items such as large immobile statuary. As-fabricated finishes can be marred by secondary operations such as bending, milling and welding, in which case, they may require additional finishing operations.
