» Any Shape
Cladding Panels, 3D Lettering and Art forms. Any shape that is possible to achieve by cutting, folding and welding de carbonized VE Steel.
» Vivid Colors
Glass-like bold or pastel colors with varied gloss levels. Colors can be matched to most colors from RAL Design or Pantone color charts or matched to hard samples from existing vitreous enamel cladding.
» No Fading
100 % unaffected by UV light vitreous enamel maintains its original color for the lifetime warranty of the panel which is up to 50 years depending on the panel type. Even in environments which have harsh sunlight vitreous enamel does not fade at all.
» High Gloss
Vitreous enamel is a naturally glossy, non-porous and non stick surface. Typical gloss levels range from Low Gloss 60% to High Gloss 90%.
» VE Prints
Vitreous enamel pastes are silkscreened or masked to create sharp and high resolution multicolored graphics which are fired and fused to the panel, lettering or sculpture at 800⁰ Celsius. Images are vitreous enamel therefore have the same durability as any VE plain color.
» Fireproof
Vitreous enameled steel is totally incombustible, will neither ignite nor burn and will withstand continuous temperatures of up to +400°C. Architectural VE panels will, depending on the design and the nature of the backing materials, provide fire ratings of a min. of two hours. Higher fire ratings can be achieved. No staining from smoke and even direct contact with open flames.
» Grafitti Proof
Non stick, non porous, chemical resistant, extremely hard and color fast. This combination of qualities is unique to vitreous enamel and enables complete removal of paint or permanent markers using solvents without damaging the VE color or surface.
» Unique Appearance
Vitreous enamel is a single or multicolored glass film fused onto steel. It is not a paint and is not the same visually or in performance. Architecturally it is striking and offers extraordinary durability in terms of color fastness and no loss in gloss.
» High Abrasion Resistance
A combination of very high lubricity and extreme surface hardness gives vitreous enamel unusually high abrasive resistance when compared to other cladding surfaces. On the Moh Hardness Scale : Diamond =10, Aluminium or Sheet Steel=3, Fibre Cement Board Painted = 2.5 Vitreous Enamel = 5.5 to 6). This makes VE an ideal durable finish for use in buildings or areas that are used by to large numbers of people and where machine cleaning can damage gloss levels such as in tunnels. Use a metal key and try to scratch a vitreous enamel coating then do it to any other cladding coating and you will see that there is a significant difference.
» Non Stick, Easy Clean
Non static, does not collect dust or allergens. High lubricity, non stick and non porous make it very easy to clean with a mild soap solution.
» Environmentally Safe
The production of VE panels is an ecologically friendly process that does not involve harmful substances. The panels are made from non toxic materials including glass, steel and calcium silicate. All materials are not harmful to the environment and are recyclable. The VE coating increases the lifespan of the original steel many times thereby reducing waste and the number of times the steel needs to be reprocessed. VE Panels release no toxic fumes in the event of a fire.
» High Salt Air & Chemical Resistance
Vitreous enamel is highly resistant to corrosion from salt air. Also highly resistant to corrosion from both acids and alkalis. VE panels are therefore well suited to tunnel, underground and coastal environments.
