The Blackened Stainless finish by Lamberti Design has been developed to give a black more “organic” coloration to stainless steel instead of the usual painting options. Its chromatic variations that can range from green to blue up to gray and red, give more character to a traditionally light silver color metal. Stainless Steel, also known in Italy as Inox, is an iron-carbon alloy that shows good resistance to oxidation and its corrosion. This is mainly due to the presence of chromium (between 12-18%) able to form an invisible layer that protects the metal from further oxidation. Starting from these considerations, Lamberti Design found the adequate procedure to obtain a Blackened Stainless in a few hours. Mechanical and chemical cleaning steps can significantly influence the final quality surface. In addition, the preparation itself can speed up and “standardize” the quality of the final products. At the end, a protective clear coat or wax is applied. This finish is both for indoors and outdoors. If applied outdoor the exposure to atmospheric agents could cause chromatic variations. 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.
