Nickel Silver Liquid Metal Finishes
Nickel Silver Liquid Metal Finishes
Nickel Silver — sometimes known as German Silver is the quiet achiever of the Metalier range. Silvery, elegant and subtly luxurious, it brings a refined glow to any surface.
Despite the name, Nickel Silver contains no silver, yet its finish gleams with quiet sophistication. Applied using Metalier’s world-first, fully water based eco-friendly system, it becomes a modern, versatile, timeless choice for both commercial and residential interiors.
Nickel Silver Raw
Nickel Silver Raw – Effortlessly cool:
One of Metalier’s most popular finishes, Nickel Silver Raw is a surface that demands true craftsmanship. It’s achieved through skilled sanding: go too far, and you start again. The reward is a soft, matte gleam that feels authentic, architectural, and timeless.
Nickel Silver Woven
Nickel Silver Woven – Textural sophistication:
This lightly textured finish captures the silvery essence of the metal while introducing subtle movement and depth.
Its woven pattern shifts with the light, making it ideal for luxury interiors.
When patinated, it can develop warm, bronzed undertones beautifully shown in the aged kitchen project below, where glamour and restraint meet perfectly.

Nickel Silver’s appeal lies in its versatility. It can be polished to a bright sheen for modern minimalism or aged to a deeper patina for quiet opulence. Designers love it for its chameleon-like adaptability, silvery-white in one light, mellow gold in another.
Across Metalier projects, Nickel Silver brings refinement to both commercial and residential applications. The first image is of a stunning kitchen with a Nickel Silver patinated look. With patina applied, the metal turns from silver into what can best be described as a brown hue. It glows with quiet glamour. Restaurant and bar fronts exhibit an elegant metal shimmer, and floors and
doors all come to life with the addition of this versatile metal. The elegant credenza and floral close-up set a tone of sophistication and warmth.

Nickel silver is one of Metalier’s most popular metals. It is a delicate grey with warmth and has been used extensively in hospitality venues and bars, with the metal retaining its natural colour. Introduce it to a patina and, like a chameleon, it quickly turns a deep greyish brown, all moody but still subtle.

The Nickel Silver STORY
Nickel Silver has been admired for centuries for its softly luminous, silver-like appearance and its impressive resistance to tarnish. Traditionally, you’ll see it in jewellery, tableware, and musical
instruments, places where durability and refined beauty really matter. In architecture and interiors, those same qualities make Nickel Silver a designer favourite: it stands up to wear, shrugs off corrosion, and lends itself beautifully to shaping, texturing, and detailing. It can read sleek and contemporary when polished, or richly dimensional when worked into more tactile surfaces. Best of all, it’s a finish that plays well with creative direction – subtle shimmer for calm, elevated spaces, or a more sculptural shine when you want a hero moment in the room.
Metalier’s Nickel Silver takes that classic alloy aesthetic and brings it into a modern, sustainable application: seamless real metal beauty, without the weight and waste of solid metal fabrication. Using Metalier’s world-first fully integrated, water-based liquid metal system (from primer through to metal, patina options, and protective clear coat), you can achieve the look of true metal across an extraordinary range of forms and materials – acrylic, concrete, fibreglass, MDF, metals, solid surface, wood, and more. That means Nickel Silver becomes available for feature panels, doors, furniture detailing, wall elements, reception fronts – anywhere you want a premium metal finish with freedom of shape and substrate. Whether your project calls for clean polish, gentle tonal variation, or a more expressive patinated character, Metalier Nickel Silver delivers authentic metal presence in a finish that supports a lighter environmental footprint: luxury looks, responsibly done.
