A wide range of engraved and etched metal surfaces are possible with Zahner. These metal alteration processes can provide metal surfaces with graphics, text, rich imagery, and patterns. If properly applied, these processes will result in sharp details without fundamentally altering the structure of a metal surface.

Etching the metal provides a light surface alteration, and engraving provides a deeper surface alteration. Similar to engraving, etched materials can be made by routing out a small amount of material, but etching can also be realized through chemical processes.
There are a number of methods to achieve each process: from laser-etching to sandblasting, cnc-engraving to laser marking and more. Each of these processes has advantages and disadvantages, and can be selected based on the metal alloy and performance, as well as the end result and defining aesthetic. To learn more about engraving or etching the material on your project, contact a member of the Zahner sales team and get started.
Custom grate systems for tree surrounds and other applications can be developed using a range of methods including custom casting and custom water jet for heavy plates in a variety of metals. Zahner will work with your team to develop the perfect system.
CloudWall is a product system offered by Zahner to give designers a simple way to create facades and more. CloudWall provides a custom fin-based profile for facades, ceilings, fences, low-barriers and other applications.
Custom mullion and transom systems developed by Zahner provide designers with the tools for challenging the status quo and building something new. Zahner provides rich customizations, developing unique cladding designs for both vertical and horizontal members.
