Pressed metal panels for ceilings, feature walls and splashbacks

You will see the pressed metal patterns below are featured in two different coloured backgrounds - orange and green. I deal with two manufacturers of the product. The colour of the background indicates which factory the various goods come from. When making your choices it is important to choose all the components from the one source. They will then fit together better and the packing and freight cost will be much less. There are some important differences between the products each manufacturer makes. I'll document the differences below.

The pressed metal designs in the orange background:

These panels are made by Denyer Manufacturing and are despatched with their etch primer on them already. Etch primer is the important element that makes the paint stick to the metal. So that is a good point. The panels will cost more per square metre but then you won't have to buy or apply the etch primer. These panels can sometimes (not always) take a couple of weeks to be ready to send. So if there is great urgency to receive your panels then skip past this first group. The panels from this factory are generally made in the 1828 mm x 610 mm size only.

The pressed tin designs in the green background:

These panels are made by Pressed Tin Panels ® and are despatched minus their etch primer so you will need to buy and apply the primer prior to painting the panels. Because the panels are not primed they are cheaper per square metre. Many of these panels are made in the 1800 mm x 900 mm size in addition to the 1800 mm x 600 mm size. Buying larger panels generally means there will be fewer joins and this is a good point. These panels are generally in stock and are usually despatched from the factory very quickly.

Several of the panels are featured in a painted form on our painted pressed metal panels page. However, these days it is more fashionable to use one colour of paint over the whole area. There are now some outstanding special effects paints available that can create stunning finishes. There are paints that shimmer, those that give a range of metal "looks" not to mention paints that give an aged appearance. Every project can be an original work of art in its own right.
