Services
Powder Coating
Our powder coating process applies premium architectural polyester coatings to aluminium and steel, creating durable, weather-resistant finishes. Using advanced electrostatic application techniques at our Corby facility, we achieve uniform coverage on complex profiles. This environmentally-friendly solution eliminates VOC emissions while providing exceptional UV resistance and colour consistency for building exteriors and interiors.
Pre-Treatment
Our automated chrome-free pre-treatment system removes contaminants and creates optimal surface conditions for coating adhesion. This critical process enhances corrosion protection while maintaining environmental compliance. The multi-stage treatment prepares metal substrates for long-term performance in external environments, ensuring powder coatings achieve their maximum protective potential.
Paint Stripping
We employ chemical paint stripping technology to remove existing coatings without heat distortion. This 140,000+ investment restores metal substrates to near-original condition, enabling material reuse. The process effectively removes both conventional paint and polyester powder coatings, preserving dimensional integrity while preparing surfaces for re-coating.
Galvanizing & Shotblasting
Hot-dip galvanizing creates zinc-coated steel with inherent corrosion resistance, enhanced by our 25-year coating guarantee. Shotblasting prepares surfaces through abrasive impact, improving adhesion characteristics. These complementary processes create a durable foundation for powder coatings in demanding external applications across infrastructure and building projects.
Salt Spray Testing
We conduct accelerated corrosion testing using NSS and AASS methods to validate coating performance. This quality assurance process measures resistance to environmental degradation, providing clients with documented confidence in finish longevity. Test results support specification decisions for critical architectural applications requiring extended service life.
Questions
What is architectural powder coating?
Architectural powder coating is a durable, high-quality finishing process for metal components used in building construction. We apply dry powder electrostatically to aluminium and steel substrates, then cure it to create a protective, decorative coating that resists weathering and UV degradation.
How does your pre-treatment process benefit coatings?
Our chrome-free pre-treatment system removes surface contaminants and prepares metal for optimal coating adhesion. This automated process enhances corrosion protection while maintaining environmental compliance, creating the ideal foundation for long-lasting powder coatings.
Do you offer coating guarantees?
We provide 25-year performance guarantees for powder coatings applied to galvanized steel substrates. This assurance reflects our confidence in coating quality and our commitment to delivering durable finishes that maintain appearance and protective properties over time.
Can you match specific colour requirements?
We offer extensive colour and texture options including wood, rust, and terracotta effects. Clients can select from our standard range or develop custom finishes using our colour-matching technology to meet specific design requirements for architectural projects.
What sectors do you serve?
We support commercial, residential, education, and infrastructure sectors with architectural metal finishing solutions. Our project portfolio includes high-rise buildings, educational institutions, and commercial developments requiring durable, aesthetically-pleasing metal coatings.
How do you ensure coating quality?
We maintain ISO 9001:2015 quality management standards throughout our Corby facility. Our quality assurance includes salt spray testing, process monitoring, and documented technical specifications to ensure consistent coating performance across all projects.

Report
I gave this firm a job (2,500) because Harriet in sales was so positive and gave me a square metre quote over the phone, other firms wanted drawings etc. In an email I asked for some parts to be white....."The four 100mm posts and two T sections (100x100 and 100x50) to be white and the rest royal blue." James Sharpe the commercial manager forgot to pass this on to production and went on holiday. I got 2 incorrect parts white and the six requested parts blue. The goods were wrapped on collection and Powder Tech refused to pay transport costs for them to be recoated. There were several surface
