Axolotl Metal has released its new and updated 64 page brochure. It features recently released metals and textures and new examples of completed works. All featured work is categorised by application for easy reference. 

Now it’s easy to creating a cohesive designer look in metal and glass. Almost any motif, photographic reference or illustration can be transferred between the two mediums offering virtually unlimited applications. The work shown here has been produced using Axolotl Rust applied to a lasercut screen door. The same design was sandblasted to a frameless glass door. The end effect creates individual impact, with the sum of the parts even greater through the harmony of the design story.

Both processes are equally able to be utilised on doors, feature walls, counter fronts, garage doors - practically anywhere, inside or out, where you desire to create a unique impact.

Axolotl bring you two innovative new ranges, 'Skin' and 'Etch'. These collections are the product of intense research and development by Axolotl, combining cutting edge techniques with original new materials.

Shown here in the image above to the left is a door coated in our dramatic new Viper Bronze finish from our recently launched 'Skin' series that evokes images of torn snakeskin. The texture can be replicated in any of Axolotl's metals and for any size, shape and substrate.

The image in the centre is a stunning door from our 'Etch' range, finished in Treasury Bronze with a custom design etched into the face of the door and seamlessly continuing through onto the glass panel. This series lends itself to an endless range of designs from modern linears to luscious organics to work in with the design elements of any space. Both of these finishes can be applied to virtually any building or design element. Think feature walls, counter fronts, garage doors, practically anywhere, inside or out, where you desire a contemporary, eye-catching design.

The other images are examples of just a few of the striking doors created by Axolotl. The 'Shiver' door above to the right is in Axolotl Treasury Bronze with a Pearl Patina. And of the doors below, the carved 'Marrakesh' design is in Axolotl Brass Pearl Patina, the 'Cortex' door in the centre is in Axolotl Bronze Florentine and the ‘Channel’ door is in Axolotl Bronze Pearl Patina.

All of these doors can be seen on display at our stand at Designbuild, from 21st - 23rd May 2009, we'd love you to drop by and see us. Alternatively you can view the doors at our showroom alongside our large designer and contemporary door collection including the awarded 'Signature' series of doors.

When doors are the first thing you notice on entering a home it is surprising that they seem to be the last thing you think about. So it is interesting that studies in the US commissioned by door manufacturer, Therma-tru, revealed a larger, more elaborate door can significantly increase a home's perceived value. As much as 3.2% to 6.6%! According to Therma-Tru, this was an increase in value of four to five times the cost of the door.

Axolotl have been innovating door design for a number of years now and have two new designs to whet your appetite - the Mecanno door featured here in Zinc, and our routered Floral door in pewter.

If these still aren’t individual enough for you, how about creating a personal statement with your own design. It is easy with Axolotl as any design element used within the residence can be incorporated in to your front door design.As all our doors are custom made, these designs can follow through to side or header panels which can be constructed to any size in either metal or glass.
