Blackened Steel | modern industrial patina
We offer two finish options of a blackened steel patina finish.
- AM.9 our traditional cold patina method onto clean cold rolled mild steel. This patination method produces beautiful varied colour tones and natural patterns unique to each piece, but does has the potential to develop brown rusting within the patina. This should be accepted as part of the natural beauty of the finish.
- AM. 13 and AM.14 patinated blackened finish, which emulates blackened steel but doesn't have the potential of rust developing within the finish. This finish can be produced on metals along with MDF, fibre glass etc.
Both finishes offer similar unique aesthetic results making them a perfect choice for contemporary decorative application. Choosing between them will depend on specific project requirements for example location and items that are to be finished.
We create finishes on client supplied fabricated substrates. We do not hold stock of blackened steel sheet for sale.
Standard Blackened Steel Finish AM.9
Blackened steel finish comes in variations of tone, from a deep dense black with hints of swirling blue and brown, to a lighter translucent look which reveals the base steel through the finish. This modern architectural finish can be used for internal wall cladding, furniture, hardware, fixtures & fittings and is often used within building design to provide a contemporary look in both residential and commercial projects.
Important - Please note, standard blackened steel has no anti-corrosion element, therefore we cannot guarantee that rust will not develop within the finish at some point (this could be in days, weeks or years) particularly on mild steel, but also on galvanised and Zintec. This should be seen as apart of the finish aesthetic. If finished blackened steel items are kept in low temperatures where damp air is prevalent, this may cause or accelerate the potential for the above-mentioned rust patination to occur within the finish.
