Architectural aluminium & facades.

A Qualicoat Class 1 polyester system that keeps architectural aluminium true to colour outdoors, batch after batch.

Main: Polyester

Who this is for

Aluminium profiles, windows and doors, curtain walls, architectural hardware.

Polyester is our outdoor, weather-resistant system, and architectural aluminium is its first application. Our polyester system PLM100611 is Qualicoat Class 1 approved, which matters to extruders who supply export projects. We match your standard architectural colours or your sample, then trial on your profiles and line before bulk supply.

Buyer problems

What usually goes wrong.

01
Colour and gloss retention under strong sun and humid heat.
02
Consistent colour and gloss across batches, profiles and matching hardware.
03
Coverage and film build in grooves and inside corners.
04
Export-oriented extruders need Qualicoat and test documents from their supplier.
05
Colour approval time and quality risk when switching powder suppliers.

Architectural aluminium & facades parts on a powder coating line — **On the line.** Architectural profiles leave the curing oven in one colour, profile after profile.
