The MetalWood™ Process 1. Mouldings and/or woodcarvings are prepared to accept the metal coating and to ensure complete adhesion to the surface. 2.The LuminOre® Metal is applied by hand using a cold-spray process and cured. 3.Each moulding and/or woodcarving is carefully sanded and polished to the desired luster, to bring out the unique metal finish. 4.The patina aging process is hand applied. 5.A durable, ceramic clear coat is applied.
MetalWood™ Installation MetalWood should be installed by using an adhesive, not nails. This will allow the finish to be free of nail holes which require repair. The moldings can be cut to fit using a standard shop saw, with a well sharpened blade.
