Octolux Spektre - Decorative Metal Panels
Octolux Spektre is created by the engraving of highly reflective patterns
into the surface of decorative metals. These patterns have thousands of microscopic
reflective facets per square inch, resulting in a three dimensional appearance
with a depth and brilliance never before achieved.
The computer-guided manufacturing process allows patterns to be scaled
to fit any application, and also ensures each sheet is an identical match.
Suitable patterns can be tiled over large areas with exact registration along
joints, providing a seemless appearance.
Octolux Spektre, when used in conjunction with a small amount of direct
accent lighting, can give the appearance of a fully illuminated wall or ceiling
with a fraction of the power consumption. In addition, the use of colored
lighting can provide astonishingly beautiful effects.
Applications using Octolux
Octolux Spektre is ideal for all interior applications with some alloys suitable
for exterior use. Sheets can be sheared, notched, and formed the same as any
sheet metal product. Uses include: wall panelling; ceiling tiles; column covers;
cabinetry facing; counter tops; door skins; soffits; railing inserts; auto
trim; or practically anywhere you can imagin. Stainless stell Octolux Spektre
is particulary useful in hospitals and restaurants because it provides a beautifully
decorated surface that is completely sanitizable.

only in selected patterns and materials.
Cutting and Forming
All producted is shipped with PVC peel-away coating to protect the surface.
If proper care is exercised, this coating is adequate to protect the surface
while working with the material. Stainless, copper, and brass sheets can be
sheared and bent by traditional methods with minimal to no disruption of the
finish. Aluminum sheets can be cut with saws equipped with sharp carbide tipped
blades. Aluminum sheets can also be bent or formed like other metals.
Process
Octolux Spektre is a unique patented procedure using a computer mapped mechanical
engraving process.
