Our edge is quality &
craftsmanship

Architectural design is about two things: form and function. Function is set, but form is whatever you envision it to be. Fabmetal’s motto, ‘Our edge is quality and craftsmanship’ is about bringing into being the form you desire to perform the function you require, using the best quality materials and our unmatched experience and expertise in the field of architectural metalwork.

Metalwork is often incorporated into the designs of building facades, feature walls, furniture, doors – the possibilities are limitless and the look is timeless. Metal cladding is versatile, durable, stylish and cost-effective. It looks great, lasts a long time, is easy to maintain and is resistant to the elements. Whether inside or outside, in building facades, feature walls, stainless balustrading and other architectural features or decorative applications, metal finishes are smart, strong, stylish and sensible, and the design options are limited only by your imagination

What is Tivox ?

What is Tivox ?

fabmetal-tivox
TiVox is Fabmetal’s signature product which is a new type of coloured stainless steel. It is made with (usually) 304 grade via the process of Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD). PVD is the method used to harden and also colour the surface of a metal but still retain the underlying material properties. High temperature vacuum furnace, titanium and zirconium are ionized and deposited onto a metal surface (approximately 6microns thick). The coating penetrates the surface a little making its adhesion excellent and strong then a special colour formatting substance is added to create the desired finish, thus creating a harder finish than other coloured steel. During the PVD of TiVox, the titanium actually hardens the stainless steel and the zirconium not only greatly improves its resistance to salt water and other common acids and alkalis but also protects from ultra violet light, thus the harsh sun has no effect on TiVox.
