Finishes & Coatings

Custom frame finishes & coatings

Whether for domestic or commercial use, all of our quality frame finishes and coatings are durable, hard wearing and will enhance your chosen product.

Depending on what material you choose will dictate which finish you can have. Whether your choice is timber, aluminium or aluminium and timber clad or glass, bi-fold doors, sliders, windows etc… we’ve got it covered (literally)!

We have listed below the finishes and coatings available under each material option

Powder Coated

Available in any RAL colour

Our most popular finish. All of our aluminium products are powder coated to a quality that far exceeds many competitors standards, which translates to our customers owning a product with an exceptional hardwearing and durable finish. Our powder coatings have a life expectancy of up to 25 years and are maintenance free. A simple wipe with a cloth will keep your doors, sliders and windows looking great for many years to come.

Marine grade (powder coating)

We also offer Marine-grade powder coated aluminium. Marine-grade powder coating provides a solid barrier to salt particles and prevents them from permeating the finish. This means the aluminium beneath is kept protected and is significantly less likely to fail over time. So this option is ideal protection for extreme weather areas, such as coastal locations.

To choose your colour accurately and to get a more precise idea of what the colour looks like, it is advised that you obtain a printed RAL colour chart from your local decorators’ merchant or pop into one of our showrooms.
