While metals have been used in architectural applications for centuries, designers continue to search for new methods of enhancing their finished appearance. Forgoing, pounding, forming, etching, grinding, and polishing have long been the mainstays in metal finishing UNTIL NOW!

Metal Art, has developed an exciting new process of engraving highly reflective patterns into the surface of decorative metals, There 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.

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 be 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!)
