One of the key advantages of metal world maps lies in their magnetic properties, particularly when crafted from steel. The steel used in these maps often boasts high magnetic capabilities, offering endless possibilities for pinpointing locations. In today's example, we'll delve into a world map crafted from sleek black industrial steel.
The featured world map, installed by one of our clients in Budapest, stands out against a rustic brick wall backdrop. The contrast between the map's black steel and the textured brick background lends a nice visual appeal, making it a truly unique addition to any space.
Our client choose for the black industrial steel world map, known for its magnetic qualities. This type of industrial steel, often referred to as corten steel, ranks among the best in terms of magnetic strength. As a result, it can be used for a wide range of magnetic pins, including standard fridge magnets. However, our Hungarian client opted for premium neodymium magnets, known for their superior strength and durability. The gold-plated neodymium magnets featured in the photo below not only provide a luxurious touch but also ensure longevity, thanks to the protective nickel coating.
While the client's photo showcases two sizes of neodymium magnets, the versatility of this metal world map allows for experimentation with various magnet sizes. Regardless of size, these magnets adhere firmly to the map's surface, making it possible to display everything from holiday photos to any other light items with ease. Stay tuned for future posts where we explore different methods of pinning items to your metal world map.
As evident from the photos of the industrial steel map, the material exhibits variations in color due to uneven grease distribution, lending it a rugged, industrial charm. Applying a small amount of special oil and rubbing it evenly across the surface can create a smoother, shinier appearance. However, our client chose to embrace the map's industrial character, aligning with its distinctive name.
