Powder Coating
If you need a finish that stands up to knocks, weather and everyday wear, it’s worth considering adding a powder coating, as this is considered one of the most reliable options available. Click Metal's powder coating services give you a hard-wearing, professional finish on top of the precise cut-to-size metal you already rely on us for, so your components arrive ready to use straight away. Whether you're finishing structural parts, brackets or outdoor equipment, our process delivers consistent results without the hassle of sourcing a separate coating supplier.
What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that applies a fine, pigmented powder to a metal surface using an electrostatic charge. The charged particles cling evenly to the component, creating a uniform layer across every edge and contour. Once applied, the part is cured in an oven at high temperature, which causes the powder to melt and flow into a smooth, continuous coating that bonds firmly to the metal.
This is what sets it apart from traditional wet paint. There's no solvent, no drips and no thin patches where coverage has missed. With industrial powder coating, the process is built for consistency, which matters just as much on a single bracket as it does across a full production run.
Benefits of Powder Coated Metal
Powder coated metal offers a level of durability that liquid paint struggles to match. The cured finish forms a tough outer layer that resists chipping, scratching and general wear, so parts keep their appearance even in demanding environments. It's also highly resistant to corrosion, making it a sound choice for anything exposed to moisture, road salt or changeable British weather.
Beyond durability, powder coating gives you flexibility in appearance. Coloured powder coating is available across a wide range of shades and textures, from smooth gloss finishes to more textured, matte options, so you can match a specific brand colour or simply choose a finish that suits the application. This combination of strength and customisability is why so many customers turn to our powder coating services when they need durable metal finishing that will last.
In short, benefits of powder coating include:
- Resists chipping, scratching and general wear
- Strong resistance to corrosion, including exposure to moisture and road salt
- Wide choice of colours and textures, from gloss to matte
- Even, consistent coverage across edges and contours
- Suited to both indoor and outdoor applications
Metals We Can Powder Coat
Powder coating works well across most of the materials in our range. Aluminium and mild steel are both excellent candidates, taking the coating evenly and benefiting from the added corrosion resistance. Extrusions, frames and brackets, whatever the shape or profile, can all be prepared and finished as powder coated metal, provided the dimensions fall within our processing capabilities.
Sheet, bar and section products all take the finish well, and the same applies to more complex fabricated parts made up of several components. Surface preparation is carried out before coating to ensure proper adhesion, so the finish bonds securely rather than sitting loosely on top of the metal. This attention to preparation is what gives the coating its long-term durability, rather than relying on the powder alone to do the work.
If you're ordering a cut-to-size component and want it finished in the same job, just let us know your requirements and we'll factor the coating into your order.
Powder Coating Applications
The applications for this finish are broad, which is part of its appeal. Railings and balustrades benefit from the corrosion resistance and the clean, consistent look powder coating provides. Enclosures and housings for outdoor or industrial equipment gain a tougher outer shell that holds up to handling and weathering. Machinery parts, panels and furniture components all take well to the process too, whether the goal is protection, appearance, or both.
For businesses running larger volumes, our powder coating services scale to suit, and the same industrial powder coating standards apply whether you're ordering one part or several hundred.
Applications include:
- Railings and balustrades
- Enclosures and housings for outdoor or industrial equipment
- Machinery parts and components
- Panels and structural sections
- Furniture and decorative pieces
