Decorative Metals have been used in
architectural applications for centuries, designers continue
to search for new methods of enhancing their finished appearance.
Forging, pounding, forming, etching, grinding, and polishing
have long been the mainstays in metal finishing . . . . .
until now!
Pacific Crest Industries has developed SpectraMetal, an
exciting new process of engraving highly reflective patterns
into the surface of decorative metals and metal laminates. Our Decorative Metal patterns have
thousands of microscopic reflective facets per square inch,
resulting in a three dimensional appearance with such depth
and brilliance never before achieved by any other process. Our Metal Laminate line feature brilliant metal colors and patinas on real metal with a phenolic backer, combining ease of use with beautiful metal finishes.
This unique process is computer guided which allows the
patterns to be scaled to fit any application, and also insures
that each sheet is an identical match.
Patterns can be tiled over large areas with exact registration
along joints providing a seamless appearance. Patterns can
also be mixed within one sheet (e.g.. On a vertically oriented
panel the bottom 36" could be one pattern and the upper
portion another, replicating a wainscot/wall covering, but
in a single sheet of highly reflective metal!)
