Bronze liquid metal
Bronze liquid metal curves
The bronze liquid metal reception desk is a standout piece in this fitout. We love everything about this design. The bronze liquid metal, of course, the sumptuous curves of the desk and the height of the reception area. Height is always a game changer in design.
A bronze liquid metal masterpiece
This magnificent piece was created by Metalier’s Creative Director, Richard when he was working in London. We’re very pleased that he is now working with us in Aotearoa/New Zealand. He’s pleased too. The main reason he wanted to work with Metalier is that we have created a robust and easy-to-work Water-Based Metal Coat – more on that shortly.
Metalier is a substrate expert
Here at Metalier HQ we have coated only works and substrates created by others – joiners, kitchen companies, door and window frame makers, and so on. Richard was responsible for making the reception desk as well as coating it. Those curves are his. He knows heaps about substrates – what works and what doesn’t. He’ll share the information with all specifiers and approved applicators of Metalier liquid metal. Just contact us if you have a substrate problem that you need help with.
Bronze is a favourite
Bronze has always been a favourite with the Metalier Team. It takes a patina well so that there are many looks you can create with the metal. Not only can patina work its magic, but we also have a deeper coloured bronze that we call smoky bronze. Both bronze liquid metal and smoky bronze are part of the 12 signature metals that Metalier now offers. There are other options – chocolate bronze and oil-rubbed bronze available on special order.
Learn some tricks from us
Bronze is also a helpful add-on metal. A little bronze added to brass will warm it up and disguise the hint of green that brass often has.
Contact us or your nearest distributor for more information or assistance. We love to help.
Brass Patination - Brass Windsor
Brass patination finish created for a fabulous project
The brass patination finish we created for Naumi Hotel in Wellington, New Zealand, was named Brass Windsor. The Naumi was reimagined as a riotously bold collection of gorgeous colours, textures and materials by our friends at Material Creative. It was an amazing project to be part of.
Brass Windsor
Brass Windsor has become almost the most popular finish in the Metalier range. We’ve included it in The Signature Range Finishes Collection that we are about to launch. We didn’t dare not include it – it would be like a chef changing leaving a favourite dish off a new menu. Not for the faint-hearted!
Brass is so popular
Brass has been the most popular metal we offer for over 4 to 5 years now. In 2023 some brave people predicted it was copper’s year. But that was not to be. Brass has continued to rule. And finishes using patination like Brass Windsor are the most loved of all.
Learn with Metalier
The making of the finishes in the Signature Range has all been videoed and all the finishes have instruction sheets. All Metalier applicators throughout the world will be told how to create their own version of Brass Windsor. The process can be taught but the artistry in creating the finish will be the applicator’s own. Each applicator’s version of the finish will be unique to them. That’s what makes being a Metalier applicator so exciting.
If you think you’d like to learn about brass patination and other Metalier techniques contact us at HQ to be directed to your nearest distributor. We have distributors now in the USA and Canada, Australia, UK and India as well as NZ.
And we love to hear from you
Wellcoll: Metalier European Master Distributor
Our European Master Distributor: Meet Wellcoll
Metalier Coatings and Wellcoll are delighted to announce that they have agreed that Wellcoll Group will be the Metalier European Master Distributor. Wellcoll is based in Sittard in the south of The Netherlands. In total it has six branches.
Wellcoll, like the UK Metalier distributor Granlyn Specialist Coatings, was originally concerned with the automotive business. Like Granlyn, it spread its interests, aptitude and knowledge into liquid metal. Wellcoll and Granlyn are in regular communication to ensure the best possible roll-out of Metalier Coatings in Europe.
Wellcoll knows liquid metal
Wellcoll, however, before it turned to Metalier used another liquid metal product. So they come to their role as Metalier European Master Distributor well-versed in the nuances of the product. Even though the technology is in the same family, Wellcoll has found huge differences in performance and handling. And the differences are all good ones. As Vital Verheggen Managing Director of Wellcoll said to us recently “we are so happy we have made the move to Metalier”. At Head Office, we’re happy too.
Wellcoll decided to join the international Metalier team in January 2020. And then came Covid! It took eight months to get the first order of stock to The Netherlands. From August 2020, however, Wellcoll has not looked back. It is now fully stocked, has its first brochure about to be printed, has its internet presence sorted out (click here) and it is open for business. In fact, it is already doing business and selling product and application knowledge to companies that are taking the technology in-house as an adjunct to their existing businesses. You can find out more on the Wellcoll website.
Get in touch
The first point of contact with Wellcoll is through its artistic and design director, Johan Gielissen. His telephone number is +31 88 758 08 87 and his email address is here. Johan can assist companies to take Metalier Coatings in-house. He is also the person to contact to discuss becoming an applicator or sub-distributor of Metalier’s liquid metal coating. At this stage, all the countries of the EU are open to opportunities. We do not expect that to last long.
Metalier Coatings are used by architects, designers, boatbuilders, kitchen companies, landscape designers and super-yacht designers. You will find Metalier Coatings in hotels, resorts, yachts, offices, retail and bars and restaurants and in homes. Metalier’s exciting and innovative finishes have been used often to create statement front entrances.
The opportunities are endless and the journey is an exciting one. To come along for the ride contact us now, complete the form below or contact your local distributor.
