Product Benefits
Patterned Finishes
AESTHETICS
The Patterned Finishes provide a large selection of random and symmetrical designs that are modern and attractive in appearance.
OIL CANNING
Oil canning (see above) can be reduced by using the Patterned Finishes (see below) to provide improved optical flatness making the product ideal for cladding systems.
DURABILITY
The presence of a Patterned Finish will hide scratches, dents and other impact damage unlike plain flat and polished metals which too readily reveal the lightest of impact. The Patterned Finishes from Rimex are tried and tested, having been used for over 40 years because of their antivandal and durable properties.
LONG TERM COST SAVINGS
As a direct consequence of the strength and durability benefits provided by the Patterned Finishes, long term cost savings are provided in maintenance and replacement of applications such as elevators, columns, doors, etc.
LOW FRICTION SERVICES

The patterning process provides a reduced contact area so reducing friction problems common in food, drink and photographic machinery. This can significantly speed up production flow.
HEAT INSULATION AND DISSIPATION
The appliance industry uses the Patterned Finishes because they provide heat insulation and dissipation advantages.
WEIGHT SAVING
The patterning process increases the strength and rigidity of metal enabling lighter gauges to be used with consequent cost and weight savings.
REFLECTIVE SURFACES
The Patterned Finishes are used in the lighting industry to break up glare.
ColourTex® Finishes
VIBRANT APPEARANCE
The ColourTex® Product is unique in colour and the perspective that it provides. Unlike painted or other coloured metal products that can be flat in appearance, ColourTex® is reflective, lively and makes a dynamic material for construction projects, retail and catering applications and miscellaneous product use.
COLOURFAST
ColourTex® is colourfast up to 200 oC / 392 oF.
ADDITIONAL CORROSION RESISTANCE
The ColourTex® process provides an additional layer of protection to stainless steel that improves resistance to corrosive elements on exterior applications on buildings.
SIGNS
The ColourTex® Finishes are ideal for signs where the colours are lively, vibrant and will not tarnish.
Granex™ Finishes
APPEARANCE
Granex™ is a matt finish that is ideal for subtle design applications. Granex™ is a high quality non-reflective and non-directional finish.
NON-REFLECTIVITY
Granex™ is supplied in various coarsenesses of finish which provide different levels of reflectivity.
CONSISTENT BEAD BLAST FINISH ON SHEET MATERIAL
Rimex is expert at raw material selection and the provision of finishes on metals. Most bead blast manufacturers are not used to manufacturing sheet bead blast product and selecting suitable raw material. As a consequence the consistency of finish can be poor. Rimex has this expertise with the result that Granex™ is a reliably consistent finish.
RAW MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
With all the finishes manufactured by Rimex, raw material selection is crucial to the standard and quality of the final product that is supplied. Rimex is expert in material handling having been in the metal finishing industry since 1959.
