INOX’s CeraMax Rainbeaux wins hardware category at NYCxDESIGN
Awards
Customizable
hardware finish option can match virtually any color,
prevents deterioration due to harsh environments
SACRAMENTO,
CA – INOX®,
creator of innovative and premium decorative hardware and door locks for more
than 25 years, is proud to announce that its new CeraMax Rainbeaux™ ceramic-coated
door hardware earned top honors in the prestigious 2019 NYCxDESIGN Awards competition.
The NYCxDESIGN awards were presented by
Interior Design magazine and the International Contemporary Furniture
Fair (ICFF) in New York
City to celebrate outstanding achievement across major areas of design—from
architecture to interiors, products to accessories and craft to technology.
More than 900 entries were received for this year’s competition, and CeraMax
Rainbeaux won the entire hardware category.
“We are very honored
to win this award, especially since CeraMax Rainbeaux was created by INOX to
fill a need that designers and trade professionals were asking for, and now we
have been recognized by that same community,” said Jeff Howes, President of
INOX.
CeraMax is a customizable finish option
that prevents deterioration due to harsh environments, including salt spray,
oxidation, humidity and ultraviolet light. INOX is the first and only door
hardware manufacturer to offer this finish option. CeraMax is resistant to most
solvents and chemicals, providing a high level of hardness and adhesion while
also offering a beautiful finish in a multitude of optional colors to enhance
décor. It withstands the ASTM B117 Salt Spray Corrosion test (used to evaluate
the relative corrosion resistance to salt spray or fog at elevated
temperatures) up to 85 times longer than stainless steel, and can face extreme
exposure to high humidity and ultraviolet light for up to 5750 hours with no
yellowing or loss of luster.
Each piece of hardware is finished by
hand and the process includes sand blasting, ultrasonic and high-pressure air
cleaning, and baking in a finishing chamber—all performed under clean-room
conditions. The CeraMax line with color customization is available as a premium
option for all INOX products.
