FINISH SHOWCASE: BRONZE POWDER COAT
At ASH Door Furniture, our bronze powder coat finishes offer a sophisticated alternative to solid bronze, available in a range of colour depths to suit various design aesthetics. Much like our bronzed anodised finishes, this coating provides a refined metallic appearance while offering durability, ease of maintenance, and cost-effectiveness.
Powder coating is a highly effective finishing process that creates a tough, protective layer resistant to scratching, chipping, and general wear. While not as hard-wearing as anodising—particularly in high-traffic applications—it remains a robust choice for both residential and commercial settings. The application process involves electrostatically applying a fine, dry powder to the metal surface before heating it to form a seamless, durable "skin." This ensures a smooth and uniform appearance that enhances the overall aesthetic of the hardware.
One of the key advantages of bronze powder coating is its versatility. Available in a range of shades and textures, from sleek and glossy to subtly textured and matte, it can closely mimic the depth and warmth of real bronze at a fraction of the cost. This makes it an attractive option for those seeking a luxurious finish without the expense and maintenance of solid metal. Additionally, powder coating provides good resistance to UV rays, moisture, and environmental exposure.
Maintenance is simple, requiring only occasional cleaning with a soft cloth and mild detergent to preserve its appearance. Unlike natural bronze, powder-coated finishes do not develop a patina over time. However, while resistant to general wear, powder coating can be challenging to repair if damaged, often requiring complete recoating rather than spot touch-ups.
As a finishing technique, bronze powder coating is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. The process eliminates the need for solvents and generates minimal waste, making it a sustainable choice without compromising on style or performance.
At ASH Door Furniture, we are dedicated to providing finishes that combine aesthetic appeal with practicality. Our bronze powder coat options deliver the richness and elegance of traditional bronze with the added benefits of modern durability and ease of care, ensuring timeless beauty in any setting.
