Material Character
Warm orange-brown rust with darker marks and earthy depth, livelier than Corten. Light picks out the orange and leaves soft shadow in the hollows. In a restaurant, a loft office or a boutique hotel it brings industrial warmth indoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rust?
Rust is a warm orange-brown steel finish with darker aged marks, stopped and sealed under a clear coat. We make it as a liquid metal coating with real metal powder, on solid steel or iron that we rust and then stop, and by arc wire spraying.
Can this finish be applied to different surfaces?
Yes, on all three routes. As a liquid metal coating, the rust finish goes on MDF, wood, metal, aluminum and stainless steel. On solid steel or iron your metalworker makes, we rust the real metal and stop it. Arc wire spraying covers steel and aluminum pieces.
Will every finished surface look exactly the same?
Rust never repeats itself, and neither does ours. Each panel is rusted and stopped by hand, so the orange and the dark marks fall differently every time. You approve a sample first, and we finish your pieces to its warmth and depth.
How can I use this finish in my project?
Bring it inside for industrial character without the mess. Restaurant and bar walls, a hotel reception counter, office doors and lobby panels. The rust is sealed, so it does not rub off on hands, clothes or the floor and does not keep rusting indoors. At home, a feature wall.
