Sheet metal forms the foundation of countless modern structures, from architectural façades to luxury interiors, custom furniture, and precision-engineered components. But while the material itself provides strength and versatility, it’s the finish that defines its true character. At Atomic PVD we take sheet metal beyond the ordinary through advanced Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) and premium surface treatments that merge science with design.
What Is Sheet Metal?
Sheet metal refers to metal that has been rolled into thin, flat pieces, typically made from stainless steel, aluminium, brass, or copper. Its flexibility, formability, and strength make it ideal for manufacturing, construction, and decorative applications. Depending on the project, sheet metal can be laser-cut, folded, perforated, or polished into near-limitless shapes and forms.
Why the Finish Matters
A sheet of metal is just the beginning the finish determines how it interacts with light, touch, and time. PVD coatings allow sheet metal to take on vibrant, durable colours like gold, bronze, gunmetal, or matte black without compromising corrosion resistance or longevity.
Whether you’re designing a luxury bar front, custom signage, or a high-end façade, PVD coating delivers a consistent, hardwearing surface that resists scratches, fingerprints, and UV degradation.
Common Sheet Metal Finishes
At Atomic PVD, we offer a variety of finishes to enhance both appearance and performance:
-
Mirror Polish: Reflective and sleek, perfect for architectural detailing.
-
Brushed or Hairline: Subtle texture with a refined satin look.
-
Bead-Blasted: Soft matte effect ideal for modern, understated designs.
-
Patina & Custom Textures: Aged or artistic finishes for unique visual character.
Each finish can be paired with a PVD coating to deliver lasting brilliance and resistance to corrosion, moisture, and wear.
Sustainability and Longevity
Unlike traditional paint or electroplating, PVD coating produces no toxic by-products and significantly extends the life of the base metal. This makes it an environmentally conscious choice for architects and designers pursuing sustainable materials without compromising aesthetics.
