voestalpine colofer® - our perspective

We develop organic-coated steel strip for appliances with a high-quality appearance. HVAC DESIGN INDOOR is our solution for aesthetic, process-safe and time-tested appliances.  

What is the objective behind the development of HVAC DESIGN INDOOR?  

For visible indoor applications with high demands on appearance, haptics and durability. The surface is smooth, structured or matt and remains uniform and robust in everyday use. 

Typical applications: design appliances as part of your interior design as well as cladding for ventilation and air conditioning components  

 

colofer® HVAC DESIGN INDOOR vereint modernes Design und Funktionalität für formschöne Innenraum-Anwendungen.
colofer® HVAC ist in Farben aus einer Vielzahl von Farbfächern erhältlich. Auf Anfrage werden auch maßgeschneiderte Farbtöne entwickelt.

Systematic design for a unique look, feel and color  

The color and or the surface can be used to achieve a metallic appearance, e.g. aluminum or stainless steel, as well as subtle structures, haptics and individual designs. Upon request, color tones and mirror gloss (60°) can be adjusted to meet customized design specifications.  

Two perspectives, one objective
