Powder coating can help you make the most out of your aluminum fence.
As an owner or future owner of aluminum fencing, you are probably looking for a way to protect your fence and highlight a decorative finish at the same time. Fortunately, powder coating has helped to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of aluminum fencing for many years. Powder coating is available in a large variety of colors and textures, and it’s the perfect process to get the most out of your aluminum fence.
The Benefits of Powder Coated Aluminum
We all know that the elements and other factors can wear down fences, but powder coating helps to greatly reduce the damage your aluminum fence will face on a daily occurrence. Surfaces that are powder coated are able to offer resistance to chipping, scratches and chemical contact. An aluminum fence is a big investment, so you want to make sure you protect that investment with a coating that helps to increase the lifespan of your aluminum fence.
Powder Coating vs. Paint
You may feel more comfortable with paint, but we all know that inevitably, paint finishes start to fade and chip away. While you want your aluminum fencing to remain durable, you also want it to keep a pleasing aesthetic value. Everyone is always impressed with large and pristine fences, but one in disarray will attract the wrong kind of attention. Any projects making use of paint may require a few coats, but powder coating will only require just one application. In terms of environmental friendliness, powdered coatings do not use solvents.
Safety and Durability
We’ve all probably touched a hot fence at one point in our lives, but powder coating reduces the amount of heat that an aluminum fence will absorb. If you are in a warm climate or in an area of the world with extremely hot temperatures during the summer, this is something to consider. You have to worry about how fast a fate or handles will heat up, and you certainly don’t want anyone to burn him or herself. Hot weather conditions can also prematurely wear down your aluminum fence, so powder coating offers durability and safety at the same time.
