A decorative finish with a high material and aesthetic impact. The Patinated Metal effect is a decorative finish that evokes the authentic look of metals oxidized by time, combining metallic reflections with the chromatic veils typical of natural patinas.

It is ideal for modern, industrial, or designer spaces, where a sense of living, lived-in material is desired. The surface is rich in nuances and contrasts, with plays of light and depth that vary depending on the incidence of light. The effect can be customized with different combinations of metals (tin, copper, brass, and bronze) and patinas (green, blue, and red), adapting to any style.

Available in various color variations and intensity levels, the Patinated Metal effect combines aesthetics and technique, adding a unique and unmistakable touch to any space.

Perfect for residential spaces, shops, showrooms, hotels, and contract environments where a strong and refined visual impact is desired.

Its innovative formulation is achieved using some of the finest raw materials, providing excellent mechanical properties, remarkable chemical resistance, and an effective barrier to mold and bacteria growth.
