Having an iron fence with powder coating has plenty of benefits!
Aluminum fencing looks uniform, attractive, and sturdy in any setting. It is a popular choice for many homeowners. Powder coating on these types of fences has become the norm. There are endless textures, finishes, and colors. The advantages of choosing to have the powder coating process applied to your fence are plenty.
Powder coating is a neat process.
First and foremost, powder coating is not paint. The materials used to apply this process are cleaned and prepared to be used. The fence will then be coated with an electric static charged color powder- either sprayed or dipped. The static electricity holds the powder on the metal fence. The fence is then baked, so the powder turns into a liquid and lastly a solid. It’s easy to do because it only requires one application.
Powder coating is attractive.
The thickness of the solid layer provides a resistance to scratching and damage, so your aluminum fence will keep for a long time. Chipping, scratching, chemicals, and weather are less likely to happen to an aluminum fence. If you painted a wood fence, it would chip or fade much quicker than you would want. Powder coating is also economically friendly as opposed to paint.
An aluminum fence with powder coating is durable.
Withstanding weather is a great benefit to powder coated fences. It’s the classic scenario: it is 92 degrees outside and you hop out of the pool because you want to grab a snack from the kitchen. You wrap your towel around your waist and walk to the gate attached to your aluminum fence that surrounds your pool. Ouch! You burn your hand on the hot gate. Pressing your hand firmly against your towel to alleviate the pain, you mosey the rest of the way to the kitchen. This whole scenario could be avoided if you choose to use powder coating on your aluminum fence. It stays fairly cool to the touch in the heat. In contrast, snow won’t wreck or chip the coating. Falling branches in a thunderstorm should not be a damage issue either.
