To shine with excellence

And if these details shine and light up the environment, then we have the right combination to raise the level of any space, gaining in beauty and modernity. Respect and admiration for remarkable little ones: Metal Fit accessories.

These are decorative elements that enhance architectural projects. They are the ones that guide the identity of the place, along with other aspects of the decor. A bathroom with metallic gold fillets invites to elegance, while metallic bronze accessories make the office more modern and with a versatile and technological touch. They are small pieces with a great deal of boldness and contemporaneity.

We love these creative lines that add sophistication and style to environments. Because they are noble materials, metallic fillets require special care – following all, nothing is more beautiful than metallic accessories that are always shiny and polished, right?

We are talking regarding parts that, despite having excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion, can suffer oxidation over the years, especially in humid areas. The result is the ungentle effect of variation in color between shades of brown and green. Even if beauty is found in this oxidized effect, what is desired is, as much as possible, the original appearance of the product, fulfilling its proposal in the decoration of the environment. In order to preserve the characteristics of the metallic fillets, the application of a protective layer of varnish is indicated. The installation and maintenance instructions for the pieces are intended to maintain the admirable eternal shine on them.

Metal fillet cleaning

The metallic accessories set a provocative tone in washrooms, kitchens, leisure areas and wherever else a beautiful decorative and refined highlight is projected, from points of light.

Just as mirrors, glass and porcelain tiles require different products for correct cleaning, metallic fillets also require specific cleaning.

A clean, soft cotton cloth, moistened with clear water, is an excellent ally! For deeper cleaning, neutral detergent should be used and rinsed with plenty of water, with the intention of removing any product residues.

If the idea is to maintain the metallic appearance of the pieces, it is worth applying a thin layer of colorless pasty wax weekly – another tip is to give preference to formulations that contain carnauba wax and/or beeswax. The Poliflor or Ingleza brands are great allies in this regard.

There are products you should avoid when cleaning metallic fillets! It is good to keep parts away from solvents such as alcohol, thinner or acetone. Acids, chlorinated cleaners or abrasive agents such as muriatic acid, bleach, chlorine, synthetic or steel sponges must also be kept away from the parts, if the objective is to preserve the original characteristics of the products.

It is necessary to understand that Metal Fit accessories are composed of materials that are subject to natural oxidation during handling. The good news is that the way in which oxidized spots can be removed is simple, in order to protect the surface of the parts. Small steps to renew the protective layer of varnish when handling the metallic fillets will bring great results in the aesthetics of the objects:

Para remoção da camada de verniz atual da peça, basta um bom e eficaz pano macio embebido em álcool isopropílico, MEK, acetona ou tíner - para essa finalidade esses produtos podem ser utilizados. Já para remover a camada oxidada do filete metálico pode-se usar o lado abrasivo de uma esponja umedecida com água e detergente neutro em abundância. A peça então com textura e aspecto lixado ganha aderência - agora basta enxaguar com água limpa em abundância e secar imediatamente com um pano de algodão limpo, macio e seco. Após completar a secagem com toalha de papel, recomenda-se evitar encostar nas peças com as mãos desprotegidas.

The grouting of Metal Fit accessories is also important in the overall aesthetics of the objects: protect them by isolating the entire extension of the accessory with paper and adhesive tape. Only then should you apply colorless acrylic or polyurethane varnish – all top-of-the-line varnishes can be used, however Tekbond, Colorgin or Suvinil are recommended. After the varnish has dried and cured, no abrasives should be used for cleaning (sponges or chemical products), using only a damp cloth and neutral detergent.

As much as they are associated with glamour, such sparkle and modernity, Metal Fit accessories require simplicity in cleaning and maintenance. A good portion of whimsy also goes well to keep these little luxury notables sparkling, which promise refinement and shine with beauty.
