Dekoart and Unique Art

Additional Details

The Evolution of Copper Dekodur breaks new ground with the unique art series in Dekoart and Unique Art. Discover the stylish interior design in copper–reddish-warm and extraordinary.  Natural finishing processes make it possible for our international artists to decorate the copper panels with a patina of filigree structures and dynamic shapes. The result: The fulfillment of individual ideas, each motif of the series is unique. The name dekoart – unique art stands for a high pressure laminate (HPL) with a hand-colored copper surface. The motives were designed and colored by artists. The 0.035 mm thick metal layer is applied to a core of phenolic resin using high pressure. All our products are coated with an UV – lacquer based on acryl. The lacquer has scratch hardness in EN 438 of >1, 5 N. The surface is unaffected by common household agents /solvents. Alcohol has no effect. Slight variations of the silky shine / gloss coming from raw copper material are unavoidable. Each laminate sheet is unique. The coloring technologies by hand allow, with regard to motive and colours – and in particular: design – that the unique art sheets are very similar, but never identical.
