LuminOre Coatings are a Safe Bet for Wynn Las Vegas
In its grand opening, the new Wynn Las Vegas unveiled architectural artistry, elegance and some spectacular effects made possible by LuminOre Inc., specialists in composite metals.
Vista, CA (PRWEB) April 29, 2005 -- This week’s grand opening of the new $2.7
billion Wynn Las Vegas -- built by Steve Wynn -- has completely energized Las
Vegas, and the new mega-resort’s architectural artistry and elegant
sophistication has literally been the talk of the town. Creating an environment
that insiders say ‘must be experienced to be understood,’ the Wynn Resorts
chairman has incorporated some spectacular effects with help from LuminOre Inc.
of Vista, Calif., specialists in composite metal.
”We're very excited to
be a part of the Wynn Las Vegas experience,” says Tom Valente, founder and
president of LuminOre Inc. “Mr. Wynn has produced some of the world’s most
famous hotel-casinos ever built, including the Mirage, Treasure Island and The
Bellagio, and his designers very often require unique applications in metals and
metal alloys to achieve a desired look or environment. LuminOre’s patented
metalizing process has revolutionized the way the world works with metal, and
our clients are able to deliver a custom metal finish efficiently and cost
effectively on practically any surface.”
In addition to its use by
billion-dollar resorts such as the Wynn Las Vegas and The Bellagio, motion
picture set designers and special effect companies, LuminOre’s patented,
sprayable metal finishes offer extensive industrial and marine applications.
LuminOre’s composite metals spray onto virtually any surface using conventional
spray equipment, and are available in aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, iron,
nickel-silver, stainless steel, X-metal and Z3. The end result is a protective
coating that withstands the harshest of environments, is non-conductive of
electricity and anti-corrosive.
”LuminOre’s patented cold-sprayable
process allows a thin layer of metal to be applied over any substrate, in
virtually any configuration or design,” explains Terry Gould, president of
LuminOre Industrial & Marine Coatings Inc., a licensee of LuminOre which
specializes in marine and industrial applications. “LuminOre looks, feels and
acts like hot-cast metal, yet no heat is needed. From foam to fiberglass or
plaster to paper, the LuminOre process adheres to most any surface other than
skin and water. Once cured, the product has many of the characteristics of a
cast metal, including texture, luster and heat conductivity.”
According
to Gould, LuminOre’s benefits goes far beyond Las Vegas and the world of
sophisticated design elements. Testing over the past several years, he explains,
has shown LuminOre to be an excellent deterrent to marine organisms attaching
themselves to hulls or structures beneath the water line.
“In the Great
Lakes where there is a very large Zebra Mussel problem,” says Gould, “we’ve had
test plates in the water protected by LuminOre material. After five years, not a
single footprint of Zebra attachment has been recorded.”
The LuminOre
process has made incredible contributions in a variety of diverse industries,
and Valente concludes that many of its uses are still being discovered. From
metal artistry in Vegas to fine furniture finishes to protective coatings in
harsh marine environments, the innovative breakthrough of LuminOre’s
cold-metalizing process is actually changing the way architects, designers and
industrial engineers approach problem-solving with metals.
