The Look: Water ripple effect in black

SE Water Ripple TiN Eclipse Black as a decorative element

SE Water Ripple TiN Eclipse Black combines the liquid metal look with a deep black, glossy surface. The embossed ripples catch the light, making the black surface look like dark, moving water depending on the viewing angle. This makes Eclipse Black an eye-catching accent surface for counters, bars, hotel lobbies, showrooms and high-end bathrooms.
The base material is genuine stainless steel, 1.4301 as standard and 1.4404 on request. The black colouring is applied to the stainless steel. Formats are available in widths of 1250 and 1500 mm and lengths of up to 6000 mm.

The Surface

Black metal surfaces have been in demand in interior design for several years, mostly in smooth or brushed finishes. Eclipse Black goes one step further: the water ripple embossing, with hollows of 50 to 120 mm in size and 2 to 6 mm in depth, gives the black mirror-finish sheet depth and movement. If you are looking for black Water Ripple, black liquid metal or black ripple metal, this is the stainless steel version.
The light version is available as SE Water Ripple No.8 with a mirror finish.

Zu deinem Prüfvermerk: In den FAQ wird das Verfahren bereits als TiN-PVD-Beschichtung benannt. Falls du es hier ergänzen willst, könnte der Satz lauten: „The black colour is created by a titanium nitride (TiN) coating applied to the stainless steel using the PVD process.”

Einsatzbereiche
  • Counters and bars: counter fronts, back bar walls, reception desks in hotels and restaurants.
  • Shopfitting and showrooms: displays, wall surfaces and frames for presentations designed to stand out.
  • Bathrooms: accent wall behind the washbasin or bathtub, cladding in guest toilets.
  • Ceilings: Black rippled ceilings in bars, restaurants and corridors create a dark, glossy effect in the room.
  • Furniture and interior fit-out: furniture fronts, sliding doors, shelf back panels and inlays for joiners, cabinetmakers and interior fitters.
  • Lifts: cabin walls with a dark, high-end look.

FAQs

TiN stands for titanium nitride, an exceptionally hard coating that can be applied to stainless steel using the PVD process (Physical Vapour Deposition). Eclipse Black refers to the dark, almost black colour of the surface. The coating gives the textured stainless steel an elegant, deep dark look and accentuates the three-dimensional Water Ripple texture.

The PVD coating generally offers high surface hardness and good resistance to everyday wear and tear.

Widths of 1250 and 1500 mm, lengths up to 6000 mm, thicknesses from 0.8 to 3.0 mm. Other thicknesses on request.

In addition to silver in Mirror No.8, Water Ripple is also available in black as SE Water Ripple TiN Eclipse Black.

For regular cleaning, we recommend a soft microfibre cloth, lukewarm water and, if needed, a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Then wipe with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

No minimum order quantity. 0.8 mm in 2500 x 1250 mm is available from stock in 1.4301; everything else is made to order.
