Powder coating is a cost-effective solution that offers superior protection. It may initially be more expensive than paint, but it will save you money in the long run because powder-coated furniture requires less maintenance.
Unlike liquid paint, powder coating is pollution-free and emits no harmful chemicals into the air. It also uses no solvents and produces minimal waste.
Long-Lasting Durability
Powder coating is a very durable finish that resists scratching, flaking and chemical damage. Furniture with a powder coat is strong enough to endure even extreme weather conditions such as heat, cold, and moisture. When properly prepped and baked, a powder coat will outlast spray paint for many years.
To ensure your furniture gets the best results, entrust the process to a company that has experience with powder coating. Before the powder can be applied, the piece must be sand-blasted and thoroughly cleaned to prepare it for the coating. The powder coating is then electrostatically charged and baked to adhere to the surface.
After the curing process, teams will test and inspect your equipment to ensure quality. Powder coating is a more sustainable and environmentally friendly solution than traditional liquid paint, as it produces no hazardous waste or vapors. Moreover, powder coating allows manufacturers to create uniform coating thickness for optimized protection and customization.
While your furniture may seem unaffected by the weather, the reality is that the elements can wear on it and deteriorate its appearance over time. With its resistance to rust, scratches, and fading, powder-coated furniture is more durable than paint, allowing it to retain its luster over time. Moreover, powder-coated metal is stronger than painted metal, which makes it less likely to chip or break.
Easy to Clean
A powder coating is smooth and durable, making it resistant to dirt and grime. It is also easy to clean, requiring only light scrubbing and the use of water. This means that your metal furniture will be able to retain its color and appearance even after a long period of use, especially when used outdoors.
However, you should always clean your metal furniture gently to avoid damaging the powder coating. You should only use mild soap and warm water for your cleaning solution, which is a much safer option than harsh cleaners. You should also test your cleaner in an inconspicuous area of the furniture before using it on the entire surface.
For very stubborn stains, you can mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a bucket to create an effective cleaning solution. This mixture is safe to use on your aluminum powder-coated furniture and should remove the stains without affecting the finish. You can also prevent oxidation from occurring in the first place by regularly applying car wax to your metal furniture.

Aesthetically Pleasing
Powder coating creates a smooth surface that doesn’t show drip marks or run, unlike liquid paint. This finish also doesn’t chip easily, preserving furniture for longer and making it look newer.
Additionally, powder coating can come in many colors for businesses to customize their aesthetics. Companies can choose a matte, glossy or metallic finish for furniture, matching existing fixtures and fabrics to create a seamless design. Powder coating can even be treated to resist fading, reducing the need for replacements over time.
Finally, powder coating is eco-friendly. The electrostatic spray process produces very little overspray that could damage the environment or local ecosystems. Overspray is collected and reused, so powder coating can reduce waste at your business and lower your carbon footprint.
Restaurants that use outdoor seating can benefit from powder coating to help protect metal against several threats. From the sun to rust and corrosion, powder coating helps prevent a variety of problems that would otherwise make it difficult for diners to enjoy their experience at your business. To ensure that the powder coat sticks, your team will clean and blast your furniture to prepare it for the coating stage. Then, they will apply an electrostatically-charged powder paint to the furniture before putting it in an oven to cure it. The result is a stunningly durable finish that will give customers confidence that your restaurant can handle the demands of outdoor dining.
Environmentally Friendly
Powder coating is a non-toxic finishing option, free of solvents with VOCs. This limits the amount of airborne pollutants that damage ozone and contribute to pollution. Because of this, furniture powder coating is a sustainable and safe option for both consumers and businesses alike.
In addition to being environmentally friendly, powder coating is also very energy efficient. The curing process takes less time and requires significantly less energy than liquid painting. This allows manufacturers to save money on energy costs while providing a higher level of quality for their customers.
For example, a powder-coated finish resists the chipping, peeling, and fading that can often occur with paint due to wear and tear and exposure to harsh weather conditions. This helps businesses preserve the beauty of their furniture and elongate its lifespan.
Additionally, powder coating helps companies save on maintenance and repair costs. As a result, it is an economical solution for refinishing products that are regularly exposed to the elements, such as outdoor furniture, metal, and aluminum doors, gates and frames, aluminum baseball frame systems, bathroom fixtures, and even car rims.
