Aluminum (series 6000)
Alloys like Aluminum of silicon and magnesium, are used in principal for our production profiles of different thicknesses of the 6000
series. It has very good decorative conduct, but also an exceptional resistance to atmospheric erosion.
o Anodization: is the transformation of the surface of the aluminum and the creation of an artificial layer of oxide. The process is done
under controlled conditions and so this oxide layer is very consistent and hard in order to protect the aluminum.
On all our products with the color code «32», we perform a standard anodization equal to 15 microns.
For optimal installation in aggressive environments, we offer:
double clear anodization (code = 32D) or black (code = 02A): 20+ microns «sea side»
This double anodizing is recommended for installation in aggressive environments (seaside, poolside, etc.)
Do not hesitate to ask for a personalized offer.
o Electrostatic painting: it is a polyester layer of paint. The prior stage is the coating of the metal with a multi-step full chromate
conversion coating to make it even more resistant to erosion.
BEL LIGHTING mainly uses AkzoNobel’s ultra-durable polyester paints, designed for outdoor architecture requiring a high level of
weather resistance and long-term color stability.

Belgian stone
Of Belgian origin, it has been used for over 300 years in buildings throughout Belgian history. This is part of the story that the
designers of Bel-Lighting have introduced into their production.
The blue stone is an irreplaceable material of exceptional quality, just like wood, it increases in value with time: erosion and patina
continue to enhance & garnish.
Our range in stone are labeled «real Belgian Hainaut Blue Stone» with the approval and technical certificate delivered by U. B.A.t.c
Iroko
The exotic wood «Iroko» comes from South Africa. The same type of wood is used for ships building, hydraulics, outdoor furniture, ...
It’s strength lasts more than 25 years (Wood class I).
Maintenance is done once a year with:
- an oil for Iroko or Tek
- a protective varnish for exterior wood
Before delivery, the wood has received two layers of primer (impregnation) and no topcoat, it is to do during installation to improve
its weather resistance.
It is a wood of excellent quality and reliable resistance.
