Uncoated Panels for USM Haller: Raw Steel Look Without Powder Coating
Directly from the factory or through regular retail, USM Haller furniture is not available uncoated. The system is characterized by powder-coated metal panels and chromed steel tubes as standard. Anyone who wants the raw, industrial look has to look at other solutions.
What Alternatives Are There?
If the classic, powder-coated appearance is too smooth for you and you want the charm of raw metal on your USM Haller furniture, three options are available.
Uncoated Panels at Limics24
To our knowledge, Limics24 is the only supplier offering USM Haller compatible panels uncoated. All other dealers carry only powder-coated variants. The prices at Limics24 are significantly lower than comparable coated variants:
- 35 x 35 cm: 12.99 €
- 50 x 35 cm: 16.99 €

Shipping comes from the German warehouse.
Specialised Dealers and Refurbishers
Some dealers offer used USM Haller systems where the original coating is professionally removed, or where raw, uncoated metal panels (often as "raw steel" or "rust edition") are refurbished. If you prefer this route, look for specialised USM restorers.
Film Systems as an Alternative
Instead of sanding or repainting the furniture in a tedious process, you can also work with custom-fit magnetic films. Providers like ModularRestyle offer films that are simply placed on the existing metal panels. This way you change the look without modifying the original parts. Particularly practical if you want to keep the step back to the coated version possible.
Plan Your Own Piece
If you are planning a complete piece with uncoated panels, you can first assemble it in the Modula24 3D configurator. This gives you a feel for the proportions and the parts list, before ordering the individual components at Limics24.
Questions Before Ordering
To avoid finding out later that the result doesn't suit the furniture, answer these two questions in advance:
- Do you want to restyle existing USM Haller furniture or start a new project?
- Which parts (panels, doors, side walls) should receive the uncoated raw look?
Limics24 also offers uncoated hinged doors in addition to the panels. That is the second component if you want the raw look throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, that works. Limics24 offers uncoated panels and hinged doors made of electrolytically galvanized sheet steel. You can powder coat these yourself or paint them with special metal paint - ideal for custom colors outside the 14 RAL colors.
