RIMEX NO LONGER UTILISES ACIDS & CHEMICALS FOR METALART.

WE NOW USE ECO FRIENDLY AND RECYCLABLE GLASS BEADS TO ETCH THE STEEL.

A Stainless Steel sheet has a screen printed mask of either a custom or standard design put on to the surface. Then by blasting the unmasked areas of the stainless steel sheet with glass beads, the surface is etched away, leaving a frosted silver finish.

All Materials & Metals used are 100% recyclable.

Types of Glass Bead Etching:

N.B. All patterns (standard and custom) can be produced in any of the following surface finishes.

Stainless Steel Etched: Super Mirror or Satin Polished Stainless Steel can be etched resulting in either a reflective or Satin contrast to the grey frosted glass bead etched area.

Coloured Stainless Steel Etched: Coloured Mirror or Coloured Satin Stainless Steel can be etched resulting in either a coloured reflective or Satin contrast to the grey bead etched area.

Phantom Etched: Super Mirror or Satin Polished Stainless Steel can be etched, then coloured, resulting in either a coloured reflective or Satin contrast to the coloured bead etched area.

Colour Stripping: Coloured Mirror or Satin Stainless Steel can be masked off to a required design. The unmasked areas are then stripped of their colour. Using Coloured Mirror two contrasting mirror finishes are achieved without compromising the overall reflection.

Custom Patterns:

Rimex offers architects and designers the ability to design your own bead etched pattern. The artwork needed for any bead etched job would be ideally created using Adobe Illustrator, the best alternative
being AutoCAD. All we need is a good quality scaled drawing.
