SURFACE FINISHING
Surface finishing encompasses a comprehensive suite of processes applied to the exterior of metal and wooden components to enhance their aesthetic appeal, durability, and functional properties. For awards, a superior finish is critical; it elevates the perceived value, creates a striking visual impact, and ensures the piece will be cherished for generations. Beyond awards, professional surface finishing protects items from environmental factors like corrosion and abrasion, improves wear resistance, and prepares surfaces for further treatments or assembly.
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a highly durable and aesthetically versatile finishing method. It involves applying a dry powder—consisting of pigment and resin—electrostatically to a prepared surface, which is then cured under heat. This process creates a tough, continuous film that is significantly more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and wear than conventional liquid paints. Available in a vast array of colors, textures, and finishes, powder coating provides an excellent protective layer and a beautiful, long-lasting appearance for both our metal awards and other fabricated items, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Random Patterns
For a truly distinctive and artistic touch, our random patterns finishing technique creates unique, non-uniform textures on metal surfaces. This method involves specialized tooling or abrasive applications that intentionally create a varied, organic visual effect, moving away from perfectly uniform lines or polishes. The result is a bespoke finish that catches the light in unpredictable ways, lending a handcrafted feel and an element of visual intrigue to awards and other custom pieces. It's ideal for clients seeking a unique, one-of-a-kind aesthetic that differentiates their product.
Hairline Patterns
Hairline patterns offer a sophisticated and refined brushed look on metal surfaces. This finish is characterized by very fine, parallel lines that create a subtle, directional grain. Achieved through precise abrasive techniques, the hairline finish provides a soft, matte luster that reduces reflectivity compared to a mirror polish, yet still retains a sleek and professional appearance. It's a popular choice for awards and architectural elements where understated elegance and a contemporary aesthetic are desired, offering both durability and a visually appealing texture that masks minor imperfections.
High Gloss Finish
Our high gloss finish delivers a brilliant, mirror-like sheen that maximizes reflectivity and creates a striking visual impact. This meticulous process involves multiple stages of progressively finer polishing and buffing to achieve an exceptionally smooth, lustrous surface. A high gloss finish not only enhances the perceived quality and prestige of awards and other items but also makes them visually prominent and attention-grabbing. It's the ultimate choice for pieces where a dazzling, highly reflective appearance is paramount, exuding luxury and sophistication.
Metalizing Plastic and Resin
Metalizing plastic and resin is an innovative capability that allows us to apply a genuine metallic layer to non-metallic substrates, such as various plastics and resins. Through processes like vacuum metallization or electroplating, we can coat these materials with thin layers of metals like chrome, nickel, or gold. This technique imparts the luxurious appearance, tactile feel, and often some of the functional properties of solid metal, without the weight or cost. It's particularly valuable for awards where intricate designs in lighter materials need the premium look of metal, or for prototypes and decorative items where material flexibility combined with a metallic aesthetic is desired.
