Metalage • Metalage Copper
Metalage is a special coating system of high decorative value, developed with the micronised forms of real metals such as bronze, copper and iron, creating striking surfaces on walls and floors.

Depending on the type of metal used in its composition and on the application technique, it offers different colour transitions, textures and natural oxidation effects. Its glossy, light-reflecting surface structure gives the space depth, character and a sophisticated appearance.

About Metalage Copper

Metalage Copper is the copper tone of the decorative coating series that gives the surface genuine metal character. It brings modern design thinking together with the strong and timeless aesthetics of real metal.

The metal-pigmented coating layers are applied with a steel trowel; between coats they are burnished with abrasive paper to reveal the metallic depth of the surface. From homes to hotels, from stores to restaurants and prestigious commercial spaces, it creates distinctive and striking surfaces in many projects.

The layers above are given for standard conditions. For exterior and wet area applications, please consult our technical team.
