Along with a little care and maintenance this will keep your home looking great for years to come.
Why powder coating?
Aluminium is a excellent choice for use in joinery and construction. But, while it is a naturally resilient surface, it still needs some protection from the elements. There are several ways to protect architectural aluminium such as anodising and powder coating. Powder coating is available in a wide range of colours. Because the application process is free of solvents and other chemicals it is safe for the work environment as well as the natural environment.
ANODISING
Anodising is better suited to joinery that will have a lot of exposure to
salt air - to help prevent corrosion. The anodising process involves
immersing the metal in a sulphuric acid bath and then passing an electrical
current through the metal. This creates an etching process. Colour is added
to the bath, and the etching process seals the colour as a film onto the
metal. This film then provides a hard wearing surface. Anodised aluminium
is available in black, satin or bronze.
Why anodising?
A few of the benefits of anodised aluminium are that it provides a non
reactive surface that resists wear and tear, it provides a relatively uniform
thickness and depth of finish and there is no possibility it will chip,
flake, or peel in the future.
