Flat black and steel
9th April 2019

Hand-forged architectural ironmongery supplier STONEBRIDGE is launching of two new all-weather Armor-Coat finishes: flat black and satin steel, both certified to BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5.

The test requires products to be exposed to a neutral salt spray under controlled laboratory conditions for 480 hours and the results showed ‘exceptionally high corrosion resistance and suited to service indoors and outdoors in exceptionally severe conditions where long-term protection is required.’

Ian Smith, design & brand manager at DJH Group, owner of the Stonebridge brand, said: “To come through a 480-hour salt spray test is a massive achievement. No other product on the market has achieved anything close to this standard under independent test, while the Armor-Coat® showed no notable signs of corrosion at the end of the test.

“These results back up our ‘fit and forget’ philosophy, meaning joiners don’t have to worry about being called back to refit corroded hardware.”
