This finish highlights the raw basic steel product showcasing the manufacturing marks created by the processes of welding and sanding to deliver an industrial look.
Each radiator will be unique, with the random position of the weld lines on the column tubes and the level of the final sanding.
The clear Bare metal option uses a clear lacquer which allows these characteristics to be the hero and maintains the natural steel finish.
Out tinted Brass or Copper lacquers add an extra dimension providing the opportunity to include these industrial chic models in a wider selection of interior schemes.
Cast Iron
Our cast iron ranges are available in a beautiful, burnished or high lustre, polished finish and a clear lacquer finish that shows off the raw beauty of the -natural cast iron for a more industrial look. Created by hand in the UK, these processes involve multiple stages; for the clear lacquer finish, the radiators are first given a light sandblast to reveal the raw metal and remove any base primer, a top coat of clear hardwearing lacquer is then applied to prevent rust developing.
For the polished and burnished finishes first, a complete coat of black paint is applied to protect hidden, hard to access areas of the radiator and to provide a highlight for the visible polished areas. The radiator is then polished on the front, sides & tops of the sections, whilst the rear & more difficult to access areas between the sections remain black. Then a top coat of lacquer is applied for long-lasting protection.
Step & Linton Special Finishes
We offer a wide range of classic colours and finishes to choose from including metallics mottled, textured effects, as well as bare metal lacquer and galvanised finishes. Distinctive and individual, a Special Finish adds a personal touch to your interior.
