How do you know when it is time to invest in powder coating for your metalwork? Here at Jack Arnold, we deliver powder coating services to a huge range of customers. No two projects are the same, but there are some signs that powder coating might be the right option for your metalwork. What about re-coating it? If your metalwork has already been powder coated, read on for signs that it’s time to repeat the process again.
Your metalwork is outside
Powder coating can withstand a wide range of weather conditions. This makes it ideally suited to metalwork such as gates and fences. It can even be applied to intricate metal detailing on period properties.
Rust is a concern
If you are worried about rust and have had to have your metalwork repainted numerous times because of it, then powder coating is a good choice. In terms of rust and corrosion resistance, few finishing techniques offer more.
A uniform finish is important
If you want your metalwork to have a truly flawless finish, then powder coating is a great option. Thanks to the nature of the particles coating the metal in an even layer, there are no risks of things like streaks and drips.
You want to recoat as infrequently as possible
Fed up with having to endlessly repaint the metalwork in your home or business premises? Powder coating is a great option for you as well. It is famously hard-wearing and doesn’t need to be replaced often, making it a solidly low-maintenance choice.
You’re worried about the environmental impact
Are you worried about the impact that any metal coating techniques carried out on your metalwork? Then choose powder coating! There are no harmful fumes generated during the process, and the application is non-toxic and doesn’t come with any fire risks.
What are the signs you need to recoat your metalwork?
If you already have powder coated metalwork on your site, how do you know when the time has come to recoat it? Powder coating does last for a long time, but how long it lasts will depend on the experience of the team who carried it out, and the quality of materials used. If you notice any of the following, get in touch with us:
- Fading colour
- Peeling, cracking or chipping
- Areas of rust or corrosion, no matter how small
Your metalwork doesn’t need to be in dire straits for you to want it recoated, either. You may just want to change the colour, or you are carrying out restoration works on it anyway, so you may as well have it recoated at the same time.
