Metal Finishes

Street-Tough

Our Street-Tough finish has been developed to offer a durable and maintainable finish for steel framed and all-steel products, and is particularly recommended for aggressive environmental conditions, such as places close to the sea, or areas with severe vandalism problems. Though more expensive than the Acrylic Coating, it is a good investment, as products specified with this finish will need less maintenance in the future

This four stage system involves:-

  1. Hot dipped galvanising to ISO 1461
  2. Chemical etching to provide key for paint
  3. Priming with high build two pack epoxy
  4. Top coating with two pack satin finish acrylic polyurethane
This system offers SPECIAL ADVANTAGES:-
  • The galvanised base treatment protects the metal even if the finish is damaged.
  • The chemical etching is done by fully immersing the product or component in a phosphoric acid wash, to provide the perfect key for paint. Etching primers are nothing like as effective as this method.
  • The sprayed top coat is durable and resistant to the "chalking" action of ultra-violet light.
  • The metal can be refinished on site with any ordinary paint in the future.
  • Available in any of twelve standard colours at no extra cost (click here) Also available in any other B.S. or RAL colour for a surcharge.

 

Acrylic Coating

Our Acrylic Coating is offered as an economy option for our steel framed and all-steel products. It is less expensive than our Street-Tough finish, and has similar benefits, but without the considerable advantage of galvanising. It is not recommended for sea front environments (particularly on all-steel products) where rusting would occur.

This system involves:-

  1. Jet cleaning to remove grease and dirt
  2. Priming with high build two pack epoxy
  3. Top coating with two pack satin finish acrylic polyurethane

This system offers:-

  • The sprayed top coat is durable and resistant to the "chalking" action of ultra-violet light.
  • The metal can be refinished on site with any ordinary paint in the future.
  • Available in any of twelve standard colours at no extra cost (click here)
  • Also available in any other B.S. or RAL colour for a surcharge.

Acrylic plus Coating

This is the standard finish we offer for our cast iron products. Because of their complexity castings are difficult to finish, so to ensure a good covering of primer (which is the most important element of the finish) we apply an additional intermediate coat of two pack epoxy.

This system involves:-

  1. Priming with high build two pack epoxy
  2. Intermediate coat of high build two pack epoxy
  3. Top coating with two pack satin finish acrylic polyurethane

This system offers:-

  • The sprayedtop coat is durable and resistant to the "chalking" action of ultra-violet light.
  • The metal can be refinished on site with any ordinary paint in the future.
  • Available in any of twelve standard colours at no extra cost (click here)
  • Also available in any other B.S. or RAL colour for a surcharge.
