Is powder coating right for you?

Marske Fabrication & Engineering Ltd can design, manufacture, and install exceptional bespoke steelwork, including gates, walkways, roller shutters, staircases, and architectural steel. We ensure it looks great and will also provide a long service life. As part of this, we can arrange powder coating in a wide range of colours.

When you’re thinking about steelwork, it’s important to look at what type of finish will be best. Consider the aesthetics, level of corrosion resistance you need, and the risk of mechanical wear.

Incredible advantages

Powder coatingThe key thing to keep in mind is powder coating produces a thick, strong, durable, consistent, low maintenance finish. It’s ideal for rough metal, including different types of steel. The colour will be uniform, even when you have complex shapes.

If you compare to wet painting, you can see the clear benefits. There won’t be any flaws like running, brush marks, sagging, or inconsistency. The transfer efficiency is much higher too. Additionally, it’s far faster; there is no need to do multiple coats and wait for them to dry. While there is curing time, it’s generally quick.

Powder coating is a really good finishing option in a green sense. It has a relatively low carbon footprint and doesn’t release toxic fumes. Even better, it’s low waste (overspray can be collected) and any remaining product can be used on other jobs. You can also still recycle the steel in the future.

Applications

You can choose to powder coat all kinds of different steelwork, including stairs, gates, fencing, walkways, roller shutters, and architectural steel. It’s an option for interior and exterior use, even in challenging environments. In fact, it can provide fantastic barrier protection against moisture, oxygen, sea air, and chemicals. Therefore, it will massively improve the service life of the steel, sometimes decades longer than liquid paint.
