Steel, elegance and coolness of a metal

Elegance and Coldness of a Metal

Different Types of Steel for Planium

Iron and carbon alloy, steel is commonly called stainless steel when it has a high chromium content - in quantities between 11% and 30% - an element that undergoes a phenomenon called passivation. It has a density very close to that of iron. About 700 million tons of steel are produced each year, due to the fact that this metal is easily applied in all fields. Planium proposes it for textures as finishes; the processes used are those of brushing and satinization (also in the "steel cloth" version, with double orthogonal satin finishing), as for the other metals, but also with further processing: one is embossing, the other electrolytic oxidation which leads to Stainless Concrete (the name is given for the desired aesthetic similarity with the material, but it is always a steel).

Elegance and Coldness of a Metal

Steel has the appearance of a "solitary" metal, because its chromatic character makes it cold, but, being neutral, it is easily combined with different colors. It is perfectly inserted in both internal and urban contexts, because it reflects what is around it and therefore makes it "participant": a metal protagonist in architecture as well as in Interior design and also a constant material in the objects we wear every day.

Steel for AP01 Lay

Steel is one of the metals used by Planium for floors and walls; its acoustic and hygienic comfort make it ideally suited to AP01 Lay, the self-laying floor with the fastest laying system, guaranteed with the sole support on the ground and equipped with a sound-absorbent cork substrate to reduce noise pollution caused by foot traffic.
