When it comes to securing your home or business, every detail counts. The finish on your security doors isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s also about improving the longevity, strength and resilience of the product. Among the two most common finishes, which is powder coating and traditional paint, there’s a clear winner in terms of quality and performance and we’ll look into why powder coating is the superior choice.
Durability That Lasts Decades
Powder coating stands out for its exceptional durability, making it the go to choice for anyone looking to invest in a long term solution. Unlike traditional paint which can easily chip, peel or fade over time, powder coating forms a thick, adhesive layer that’s resistant to scratches and wear. This means your security screens and doors retains its protective and aesthetic qualities even after years of exposure to harsh conditions. Where paint may require frequent touch ups to maintain its integrity, powder coated finishes can last up to 15 years or more. This longevity makes powder coating a cost effective option, saving you money on maintenance and repairs down the line.
Protection Against the Elements
Australia’s climate can be harsh, with intense sunlight, heavy rain and salty air in coastal regions. Powder coating offers superior protection against these elements. Its moisture resistant properties prevent rust and corrosion, a common issue with painted finishes. Moreover, the thicker and more uniform application of powder coating ensures no gaps or thin spots where moisture can seep in. This is particularly crucial for outdoor security doors that endure constant exposure to the elements. Powder coating also provides excellent UV resistance, preventing discoloration and weakening caused by prolonged sun exposure.
Flawless Finish Every Time
The smooth, even finish achieved with powder coating is unmatched. Traditional paint often leaves visible brushstrokes or uneven surfaces, especially on intricate designs or large areas. In contrast, powder coating is applied as a fine powder, adhering uniformly to every nook and cranny of the door.
This process not only enhances the door’s appearance but also ensures a more consistent protective layer. Whether you prefer a matte, glossy, or textured finish, powder coating offers a wide range of options to suit your style without compromising on quality.
It’s Eco-Friendly and Safe
For those who value sustainability, powder coating is the clear choice. Unlike traditional paint, which often contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that release harmful emissions, powder coating is virtually free of these pollutants. This makes it safer for both the environment and your household. Additionally, any excess powder can be recycled and reused, reducing waste, helping to minimise environmental impact without sacrificing performance or aesthetics.
Security doors demand a finish that combines strength, resilience, and aesthetic appeal – all qualities where powder coating excels. And at Starline Security, we believe in offering our customers nothing but the best and that’s why we choose powder coating for our colonial casting doors and all other products, ensuring they stand the test of time while looking fantastic.
