What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a process of applying a dry powder coating to a metal surface. The powder is electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the metal, where it adheres to the surface. The metal is then baked in an oven, which melts the powder and forms a hard, durable finish. This is a recommended practice for metal gates, railings and staircases to ensure longevity.
Powder coating has a number of benefits over other types of metal finishing, including:
- Durability: Powder coating is highly resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and corrosion. It is also UV resistant, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
- Weather resistant: UV and corrosion resistant.
- Environmental friendliness: Powder coating is a low-VOC process, meaning it does not release harmful chemicals into the environment. It is also recyclable, which reduces waste.
- Versatility: Powder coating can be applied to a wide variety of metals, including steel, aluminium, and galvanized metal. It can also be applied to a wide range of colours and textures.
- Cost-effectiveness: Powder coating is a cost-effective way to finish metal. It is also relatively quick and easy to apply, which can save time and money.
