Chroma® is ideal for horizontal surfaces. Explore 3form fabrication options that will help you achieve a striking installation with this luminous material.
Edge Finishing
For installations where panel edges are exposed, upgrade from the standard saw cut edge finish. Several edge finishing options for Chroma are available.
Saw Cut - Standard edge finish.
Polished edge finish - Superfine sanded finish with 1200 grit paper combined with a polished buffing process. The result is a clear appearance with a soft sheen.
Renewable Matte - 220 grit sand paper provides a consistent, brushed look.
*All chroma panels come standard with a saw cut edge finish.
Edge Details
When using Chroma in horizontal surfaces like table tops or bar tops, consider 3form’s edge detail options. As a standard, Chroma comes with square edges. The following options are available:
Eased edge - A soft, very subtle bevel.
Chamfer edge - For a distinct design choice.
Radius edge - For a smooth, rounded edge.
*All Chroma panels come standard with square/sharp edges.
Structural Seams
In an installation where multiple panels need to be pieced together to form larger installations, such as long counters, Chroma can be joined using our structural seams.
Light Seams
Light seams are a choice option for box-like applications like light boxes, showcase boxes, planters, countertop dropdown ledges and aprons, and return-to-wall panels. 3form's light gives the same aesthetic appearance as a mitered seam but allows the quality of the seam to be improved compared to a mitered seam.
Forming
3form Chroma can be formed into simple, linear curves. Gently formed Chroma is ideal for receptionist and welcoming areas.
Etching
Etch lettering or a logo into the surface of Chroma through 3form fabrication services. This service combines the usefulness of signage with the design factor of Chroma color luminosity to make a memorable impression.
- CNC etching & sandblasting to create a beautiful frosted look. Interior only.
- CNC + sandblasting + painting to create a colored depth perception through text or logos.
- Laser etching. Our laser can etch our Chroma material to create a white frosted background. Another plus is that the precision of the laser creates nice sharp inside corners that a CNC cannot achieve.
3form has created a field seam kit which makes seaming our Chroma materials on site a very simple process. Our kit comes with fully detailed instructions, tools, & adhesive to seam on site and can be reused again & again.
*Field seam prep is recommended for field seam to assure proper fitting & bonding in the field.
