F/LIST Pure Metal and Fresco Decor finishes

Austria-based F. LIST has introduced three new surface finishes to the business jet market. The first-of-a-kind Pure Metal, Fresco Décor and Glass Wood Veneer finishes provide distinctive decorative results, designed to embellish cabin schemes throughout the aircraft.

The sleek Pure Metal Finish (image left) employs metals and alloys to produce ‘striking’ patterns and textures on virtually any surface type and structural shape. Four surface finishes – smooth veneer, fine stippled, coarse stippled and brushed – are currently available in copper, tin, bronze, and brass. In addition, Pure Metal Finish weighs 20% less than conventional metal finishes.

Fresco Décor (image right) finish delivers ‘luxuriously’ embossed, three-dimensional surfaces to normally one-dimensional areas. Ultraleather, Ultrasuede, or other specified soft materials, are fashioned into different shapes, with embossing depths of up to 4 mm, to create subtle light and shadow effects. In addition to bringing natural forms to the interior, the material also has acoustic properties that can dampen sound, making it a practical surface, for quiet zones, sleeping and rest areas.

For an ultra-deep gloss appearance, the Glass Wood Veneer adds an exquisite sheen to real wood veneers by layering high-tech, hygienic, Aviationglass onto flat surfaces in the galley or wet areas. Segments can also be customised with layers of the mirrors to represent corporate logos or other representative images. Glass Wood Veneer also incorporates interactive technologies to optimise cabin functionality, while retaining cabin elegance.

Each finish has received certification, allowing for their immediate use in the cabin.

“We anticipate that these stunning new options will inspire, aviation designers, OEMs, and completion centres to think even more creatively about interior styling. Cabins now represent offices, leisure areas, conference rooms and homes, often all in one flight, which is why we want to provide our customers with new ways of enhancing them. Interiors are also becoming a significant factor in purchasing decisions and we remain committed to helping our customers make their offerings stand out,” explained Anita Gradwohl, Group Director Customer Relations & Sales of F/LIST.
