Architectural & Construction Components
Metal Finishing Solutions
Whether it’s a functional component or a purely aesthetic design element, powder coating gives your architectural and construction materials unbeatable durability, protection and visual appeal. Suitable for use on aluminum and steel, for both interior and exterior applications (like curtain walls, canopies, signage, windows, fences, railings, etc.), powder coatings are a greener alternative than other surface finishes and provide enhanced durability for demanding architectural applications. Our experienced paint technicians and helpful customer service team are committed to providing you with customized support every step of the way, ensuring your vision is met.
The Benefits of Powder Coating
- Durability: Powder coating provides a tough, durable finish with high gloss-retention properties that is resistant to scratches, chalking, chipping, fading and other forms of wear and tear. This makes it well-suited for construction materials and design elements that are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as sunlight, moisture, temperature fluctuations and physical impact.
- Corrosion Resistance: Construction materials, particularly metal components subjected to salt or other deicing efforts, are susceptible to corrosion over time. Powder coating provides excellent protection against corrosion, helping to extend the lifespan of components and reducing maintenance requirements.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Powder coating offers a wide range of colors allowing architects and designers to achieve desired aesthetics and enhance the visual appeal of buildings. Powder coatings provide the ability to add mica, metallic and other special effects to expand an architect’s freedom of design for window frames, building panels, storefronts and curtainwall components. Design professionals can even achieve the look of anodized aluminum when powder coating is specified in a matte finish, while providing corrosion resistance and long-term color stability not found with other traditional coating processes such as anodizing.
- Versatility: Powder coating can be applied to a variety of metals. This versatility allows for consistency in appearance across different components of the building, such as facades, structural elements, cladding, roofing and architectural features.
- Low Maintenance: Powder-coated structures require minimal maintenance compared to alternative coating methods. The durable finish is easy to clean and resistant to stains, reducing the need for frequent repairs or touch-ups and lowering long-term maintenance costs.
- Environmentally Friendly: Powder coating is an environmentally friendly option, as it contains no solvents and emits minimal volatile gasses during the application process. This makes powder coating an important part of a sustainable or green building project that incorporates low-emitting products.
- Quick Turnaround: Powder coating is a fast and efficient process, where products can be coated quickly without long drying times or curing periods.
