When your glasswashers or commercial dishwashers need to be sited front-of-house, the clinical, industry-standard stainless steel finish can stick out like a sore thumb. Nelson’s new ColourWash option provides the solution.
ColourWash allows full customisation of exterior panels on Nelson’s Advantage range of commercial dishwashers and glasswashers, sprayed to any RAL or Pantone colour designation. Not only can the colour be chosen, but the finish too, with either gloss or matt finish to give you as much or little sheen as you desire.
The process is simple. Once the chosen colour and finish is selected, all exterior-facing panels on the cabinet are individually sprayed using fine microjet technology in a high-filtration, pressurised booths. All panels receive a priming base layer, before receiving two further coats of the chosen colour.
Each coat is heat-dried before the next is applied. An additional transparent coating, in either a gloss or matt finish, forms the final layer to ensure longevity and protect the machine from inevitable knocks and scratches. The panels are then reapplied, for an end result that is truly unique.
John Nelson, Managing Director of Nelson Dish and Glasswashing Machines, said: “Colour psychology is a powerful tool in commercial interiors. Everything from lighting and material finishes to cushions and coasters are painstakingly chosen to create a perfectly balanced aesthetic, and now, for the first time, we are delighted that dishwashers and glasswashers can play a profound role within that overall vision.
“Our new ColourWash option allows operators to move away from the obligatory, clinical look of stainless steel and instead tailor their equipment to complement or contrast with their interior schemes. Whether it’s deep graphite for a moody, industrial look, or a vibrant statement colour for an open-kitchen showpiece, our Advantage range now offers almost limitless creative freedom - without compromising on the high performance, energy efficiency and durability that our brand has been built upon.”
As high-end cocktail and themed bars continue to thrive, with year-on-year growth rates of 24.4% in 2024, interior design has never played a greater role in creating memorable and immersive guest experiences. With Nelson’s ColourWash customisation, your machines can seamlessly blend into, or stand out of any venue’s aesthetic, allowing bar operators and caterers the freedom to elevate their front-of-house design to a new level.
