Colour, texture and protection come together in the finish of an aluminium profile.

From powder to finish

Powder coating applies a dry powder electrostatically to a prepared surface, then cures it to form a coating. It offers a range of colours, gloss levels and visual effects for aluminium profiles.

The process matters

Surface preparation and the coating process belong together. QUALICOAT's architectural coating specifications address pretreatment, coating materials and production requirements, providing a useful reference when discussing a finish with a supplier.

Approve a physical sample

Review a sample under the lighting in which it will be seen. Record the colour reference, texture and gloss, then request the proposed coating specification and care instructions for the project's location.
