Architectural Shot Peening – Peentex

Architectural Shot Peening, also called shot peen texturing, can be applied to any metal for decorative purposes. Peentex™ is Curtiss-Wright Technologies trademarked process whereby shot peening controls are utilized for consistency of surface finish.

A surface with a Peentex finish is peened to produce an appealing aesthetic effect. Designers and architects have specified the use of the Peentex process on internationally known structures such as the Statue of Liberty, the Louvre and the Dublin Spire.

Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies has used the Peentex process to texture a variety of architectural metals including stainless steel, aluminum, and bronze. Our computer-controlled equipment is capable of processing metal sheets up to 10-feet-wide by 100-feet-long. We also have the capability to add textures to small irregular shapes.
