FAQ

Here are our most frequently asked questions. If you have specific questions, don’t hesistate to contact us.

What is the cost of your products?

We offer a variety of products and options to help meet your budget.

How long will the color last? How is the color achieved?

  • LIC Stainless: The color is created through light interference. No pigment is added so neither U.V. nor time will affect the color. We warrant the material for 50 years provided our maintenance requirements are strictly followed.
  • TiNi Stainless: Color is achieved by vapor deposition: various nitrides are plasmatised to fuse to the stainless. Interior and exterior installations of our product have shown no change in color. We warrant the material for 50 years provided our maintenance requirements are strictly followed.
  • Colored ZALMAG®: A ceramic coating is applied to natural ZALMAG®. The coating assures long periods of unchanging colors under intense UV exposure. We warrant the coating for 20 years and the ZALMAG® material for 40 years provided our maintenance requirements are strictly followed.

What colors do you offer?

  • Stainless LIC: Natural, Pewter, Wheat, Bronze, Blue, Slate, Bronze Gold, Burgundy, Purple/Blue, Peacock, Blue/Green, Charcoal
  • Stainless TiNi: Imperial Gold & Permanent Copper
  • ZALMAG®: Finishes/Colors: Natural, Pre-Patina II, Barna Bronze, Kijani Green

How do you justify the color range in your LIC products?

Due to the nature of the LIC process, our products will always have variation in color. We use an LAB-measuring device to quantify the colors of our products. We offer a range in color based on repeatable tolerances within each color.

Why do you say ZALMAG is “The Solution to Zinc”?

At a fraction of the price of Zinc, ZALMAG® is easier to install and will patina to a soft gray over time just like Zinc. We also offer a ZALMAG® finish that will immediately give you the look of Zinc: Pre-Patina II.
