Oxide Labs is a professional metal finishing service that is passionate about creating high quality, unique surfaces.

Our Services

Patina

Patina involves the application of chemicals to change the appearance on metal surfaces. These techniques are commonly used to give a vintage or artistic effect to architectural elements, decorative metalwork, furniture, and sculptures. The color possibilities depend on what metal is being used.

Polishing

Polishing focuses on improving the surface smoothness, reflectivity, and shine. Various techniques, such as buffing, abrasives, or chemical treatments, are employed to remove scratches, blemishes, and oxidation, resulting in the desired surface finish.

Sanding

Sanding involves the use of abrasive materials, such as sandpaper or abrasive discs, to remove imperfections, scratches, or old coatings from metal surfaces. Sanding helps to prepare the surface for subsequent treatments, such as patinaing, polishing, or refinishing by creating a smooth and even surface.

*These services can be helpful to companies that need help with surface preparation. Oxide Labs works within companies fabrication timeframes to sand at the most opportune time in their manufacturing process.

Surface Maintenance

Surface Maintenance aims to preserve and restore the condition of metal surfaces. This can include cleaning, rust removal, touch-up patina/paint, sealant, or other treatments to prevent corrosion, maintain aesthetics, and prolong the lifespan of metal products.

Refinishing

Refinishing involves restoring or renewing the appearance of metal surfaces that have been damaged, worn, or faded. This process typically includes stripping off old coatings or finishes, repairing any imperfections, and applying new finishes and/or coatings to achieve a fresh and revitalized look. These services can be valuable for individuals or businesses looking to revamp or restore metal objects, furniture, fixtures, or equipment.

On-Site Finishing

On-site metal finishing is a specialized service where we bring the metal finishing service directly to the jobsite or customer's location. The benefits of on-site metal finishing include:

Convenience: On-site metal finishing eliminates the need for transporting metal products to an off-site facility, saving time, effort, and logistics.

Minimized Disruption: For applications where the metal objects are fixed in place or part of a larger structure, on-site metal finishing prevents the need for disassembly or removal, minimizing disruption to operations.

Customization: On-site metal finishing allows for real-time adjustments, modifications, or customization based on specific requirements or preferences, ensuring the desired outcome is achieved.

Faux Finishing

Faux finishing on metal surfaces provides the opportunity for more customization. It allows for creative expression and the ability to transform the appearance of metal objects, fixtures, or architectural elements. It offers a wide range of design possibilities and can be used in various applications, including architectural parts, furniture, decorative accents, and lighting. Oxide Labs can work with clients to create unique finishes that match specific design preferences, themes, or architectural styles.

*It's important to note that not all metal finishing services may be feasible or suitable for on-site execution due to technical limitations or specific equipment requirements. The availability of on-site work varies depending on the conditions of each project.
