Powder coating of elements

Powder Coating of Elements

Powder coating is a durable finishing method that protects metal parts and gives them a clean, even appearance. It is widely used for both industrial components and everyday items because it resists wear, weather, and many chemicals better than many conventional paints. Our service covers the full process from inspection and preparation to coating and curing, so your elements return ready for installation and long term use.

Whether you need a refreshed look, improved corrosion protection, or a consistent colour across multiple parts, we help you choose the right coating system for your environment. We work with a wide range of elements, from small brackets and fittings to larger frames and panels, with careful handling throughout to protect edges, threads, and contact surfaces.

What We Powder Coat

We coat a broad range of metal elements used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Each item is assessed to confirm suitability for powder coating and to plan masking and hanging points that ensure an even finish.

• Architectural elements like railings, balustrades, gates, fences, grilles, frames, and metal trims
• Industrial and workshop parts like machine guards, housings, brackets, panels, and supports
• Interior metal features like shelves, legs, bases, handles, and custom fabricated pieces
• Outdoor components exposed to sun and moisture, where corrosion resistance is critical

If you are coordinating powder coated metal with other finishing work, we can align colours and sheen with ongoing professional painting services so the overall result looks consistent across surfaces.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. Inspection and planning

We start by checking the condition of the element, existing coatings, corrosion, weld quality, and any areas that must remain uncoated. We agree the target colour, gloss level, and texture, from smooth satin to fine texture for added scratch hiding. Where parts must fit precisely, we plan masking for holes, bearing seats, and threaded areas.

2. Surface preparation

Preparation is the foundation of a long lasting finish. Depending on the item and existing coating, we use appropriate methods such as degreasing, mechanical abrasion, or blasting to remove rust and old paint. We also address sharp edges and weld spatter that can cause thin spots or premature wear. Clean, properly keyed metal promotes strong adhesion and a more uniform coat.

3. Application and curing

The powder is electrostatically applied so it wraps evenly around contours and corners. Parts are then cured in an oven where the powder melts, flows, and crosslinks into a continuous protective film. We monitor curing conditions to meet the coating specifications and achieve consistent colour and durability across batches.

4. Quality checks and packaging

After curing, we check coverage, surface consistency, and overall finish quality. Where required, we can verify film thickness and confirm that masked areas are clean and functional. Finished elements are packed carefully to reduce the risk of transport marks, especially on glossy coatings.

Finishes, Colours, and Performance Options

Powder coating is not just about colour. The right system depends on where the element will be used and what it must withstand. We help you choose a coating that balances appearance and performance, including options for higher UV stability outdoors or improved chemical resistance in workshops.

• Colour matching across multiple elements for a unified look
• Gloss levels including matte, satin, and high gloss
• Textured finishes that hide minor surface imperfections and improve grip
• Outdoor durability where sun exposure and moisture are constant factors
• Corrosion protection for parts that face rain, condensation, or coastal air

For projects that also include walls, ceilings, or decorative finishes, you can coordinate timelines with painting and decorative plasters to keep your renovation or build moving smoothly.

Where Powder Coating Makes the Biggest Difference

Clients choose powder coating when they want a finish that looks professional and stands up to daily use. It is a practical option for renovations where existing elements are structurally sound but visually tired, as well as for new fabrication when you want a long service life.

1. Renovation of railings, gates, and metal details to restore appearance and protection
2. New metalwork that needs a consistent factory style finish
3. High touch parts where scratch resistance and easy cleaning matter
4. Outdoor installations where weathering quickly exposes poor coatings

If your project includes both metal and surrounding surfaces, we can help you plan the sequence so coating, installation, and any related surface preparation services happen in the right order.

What to Prepare Before Bringing Elements In

To speed up processing and avoid surprises, it helps to share a few details in advance. Tell us where the element will be used, whether it will be indoors or outdoors, and if it will be exposed to chemicals, heat, or frequent handling. If possible, remove rubber parts, plastic inserts, and electronics before delivery, and point out any critical fit areas or grounding points that must remain clean. If you need us to handle disassembly or masking for sensitive areas, we can agree this during intake.

Powder coating is an investment in durability and a clean, refined finish, and we are ready to help you select the right system and deliver a result you can rely on for years to come.
