Lamberti Design developed an Antique Copper finish on steel to give it a more refined and precious look. This finish gives more appeal to a traditionally silver color metal. Carbon steel, commonly known as “Steel”, is an iron-carbon alloy, where the carbon content must not exceed 2%. Steel shows an opaque appearance and is susceptible to corrosion, therefore mechanical and chemical cleaning operations are necessary and preliminary steps that can significantly influence the final surface quality. In addition, the preparation itself can speed up and “standardize” the quality of the final products.
Lamberti Design has developed a process that gives to the material a copper-like, burnished finish with circular marks typical of wearing/aging processes that occur on metal surfaces over time.
A protective clear coat is finally applied. This finish is for indoor applications. If applied outdoor the exposure to the atmospheric agents could cause chromatic variations and may produce some rust. The environmental conditions, the geometry and the shape of the products, combined with the artisanal processes, make the final pieces unique; in fact, any chromatic variations on the final objects compared to photos and samples received, are intrinsic characteristics of the process and not manufacturing defects.Care and cleaning instructions of metals
Liquids can stain any metal surfaces, therefore we recommend cleaning with a soft slightly damp cloth with neutral soapsuds, and then following using a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive materials, aggressive detergents, acetone, solvents and alcohol to clean metal surfaces.
