Choose the right color for decorative metal screens



Plating color on decorative metal screens is the value added part and it is main feature of the metal screens, which make it special, attractive and unique. There are kinds of plating colors available for decorative metal screens, whose trait is different, so need to be careful while choose the plating for your screens, need to consider the use environment, cost and personal preference.

The main colors used on decorative metal screens include titanium gold, champagne gold, rose gold, copper, black.etc. Cannot say which one is better but it does have the right one for the right product. Also need to consider the surface finish while choose the color, is it mirror finishing, hair brushed or vibration line. The color won’t change a lot on the different surface, but the effect won’t be a little bit different for sure.

Generally the titanium gold color is the most popular one used on decorative metal screens. Titanium, also called “brass” by some clients, which is the one most close to the real gold color. It has great decoration effect on laser cut metal screens with its gold shinning color. Champagne gold is originated from the color of the champagne; it is not that shining as the gold, but it is fresher. Would like to say more about the copper color, strictly there are many kinds of copper, red, yellow and green, they are the development based on the natural copper color.

Sometimes you won’t have the expected effect of the decorative metal screens with the color you choose. It may look fine on the sample, but when you fix the screens in the use place, the color effect may change a little. For example, a mirror gold color looks shinning when the lights or angle is fine, but when you put it in the room it won’t as shining as it’s before.

Another style of decorative metal screens



Well, our website called laser cut screens but we have to say the screens of laser cut metal panels is just one of the styles of decorative metal screens. Another style of the decorative metal screens is to form the decorative pattern by connecting and welding the metal pipes or metal pieces together to have the wanted design, like the view, geometric, abstract pattern, etc.

The main feature of the welding decorative metal screens is it has the obvious and strong stereo effect. The pattern is formed by the tubes with 10 or 15 mm width rather than laser cut on the 2 or 3 mm thickness panels, which would have much better decoration effect. There would be a lot of welding work that brings the challenge to the works.

Besides using the welding way to put the tubes together to form the pattern on decorative metal screens, sometimes we let them contact directly rather than weld every contact lines. For example, the corner position of the frame made of 15 by 15 mm tubes; we cut the tubes with 45 degrees and use two tubes with 45 degrees to form the corner. Only one dot needs to be welded to hole them together rather than weld the whole line. The natural contact line has better effect.



The vivid views of design on decorative metal screens also can be welded. For example, the pattern on below photo was made in this way: first we cut two pieces of panels with the flower pattern (front view), one put at top and one at bottom with certain height, then we use the extra strips with this certain width wanted to fill all the sides between them, weld and polish nicely.

Yes, it would take a lot time and work to do this kind of decorative metal screens, that’s why its price is much higher than the normal laser cut screens. Sometimes clients wonder why the price is so high as only a few of material used, material never was the main part of laser cut screens cost but the labor cost. Only the seasoned and patient works can do this job well and that would take a lot time and effort.
