Liquid metals are emerging as a leading trend in Europe and across the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Liquid Metal?

  Liquid Metal is a real metal coating applied to surfaces like furniture, walls, and décor. It consists of fine metal particles suspended in a resin or binder, creating an authentic metallic finish without the weight of solid metal.

• What surfaces can Liquid Metal be applied to?

  Liquid Metal can be applied to wood, MDF, plaster, concrete, glass, plastic, and even fabric, making it highly versatile for furniture, feature walls, and decorative elements.

• Is Liquid Metal durable?

  Yes! Once cured, Liquid Metal is highly durable, resistant to scratches, and long-lasting. A protective sealant can be applied to enhance durability and prevent oxidation.

• Does Liquid Metal tarnish or rust over time?

  Liquid Metal can naturally patina over time, depending on the type of metal used (e.g., bronze or copper may develop a patina). To prevent tarnishing, a clear protective coat is recommended.

• How long does Liquid Metal take to dry and cure?

  • Touch Dry: 2-4 hours (depending on temperature and humidity)
  • Fully Dry: 24 hours
  • Fully Cured: 7-14 days for maximum hardness and durability

• Can Liquid Metal be used outdoors?

  Yes, but it must be sealed with a UV-resistant and weatherproof sealant to protect it from the elements. Outdoor applications should also avoid prolonged water exposure.

• How do you maintain and clean Liquid Metal surfaces?

  • Use a soft cloth and mild, pH-neutral cleaners.
  • Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.
  • Apply a protective wax or sealant periodically to maintain the finish.

• Can Liquid Metal be customised in different finishes?

  Yes! Liquid Metal can be polished, patinated, textured, or aged to achieve different looks, from high-gloss mirror effects to rustic oxidized finishes.

• Is Liquid Metal environmentally friendly?

  Many Liquid Metal coatings are low in VOCs and eco-friendly compared to solid metal fabrication, making them a sustainable alternative for luxury finishes.

• Can I apply Liquid Metal myself, or do I need a professional?

  Liquid Metal application requires specialised techniques to achieve a seamless and high-quality finish. For best results, it is recommended to have it applied by a trained professional such as Marvle Creations to ensure proper adhesion, texture, and durability.
