Far more than simple heating devices, the AEON range of luxury radiators and heated towel rails has been designed and developed using state-of-the-art production techniques that combine beauty with heating efficiency and durability.
The Weld
At AEON, we employ a TIG (gas tungsten arc) welding process during the manufacture of its sculptural heating solutions. TIG welding allows the manufacturer to operate with a high degree of precision, to create completely seamless, almost invisible joints, even in stainless steel and aluminium, which typically are harder to work with. This process allows the welder a tighter control over distortion, which is particularly important in creating radiators with multiple uniform elements.
The Twist
Another technique we are particularly proud of allows us to create stunning bars that have been twisted uniformly to create a line of alternating brushed and polished steel surfaces. A special twisting machine allows us to manipulate stainless steel poles of almost any length and size to create a vertical or horizontal design with up to three twists per line. What a head turner.
The Finish
At AEON, we recommend opting for a PVD finish for colouring stainless steel products. PVD, which stands for physical vapor deposition, and is also known as thin-film coating, is a specialist manufacturing technique where the coating is vaporized and deposited atom by atom onto the steel surface, forming a bonded, metal or metal-ceramic surface layer. The end result is a highly durable, beautifully even finish that functions as part of the radiator itself; it will not tarnish, chip or corrode, just as the original stainless steel would endure.
Our Aluminium ranges all feature a beautiful, anodised finish in a palette of metallic tones. Anodisation is an electrochemical manufacturing process, that converts the surface layer of the aluminium into an anodic oxide, by passing an electrical charge through the material while it is immersed in an acid electrolyte bath. This layer is porous, allowing for colours and sealants to be applied afterwards, whilst still maintaining a surface that is durable and highly resistant to corrosion.
