When choosing the look and finish of your new windows and doors, powder coated products have gained popularity for their durability, visual appeal, colour options and environmental benefits, proving a worthwhile investment for many property owners.

Here’s some food for thought about why Origin’s powder coated aluminium frames are such a great asset.

What are powder coated windows and doors?

Powder coating is a dry finishing process that uses a free-flowing, powdered pigment applied electrostatically to metal surfaces. In the case of aluminium windows and doors, this process is used to coat the frames. The powdered paint is applied dry and then baked at very high temperatures, hardening to form a smooth coating.

What are the benefits of powder coating?

One of the biggest reasons that powder coated windows and doors are worth considering is their exceptional durability. The cured, thick coating is resistant to scratches, chipping, fading and general wear and tear, which is perfect for window and door frames that have to withstand the Great British weather.

Powder coating also provides a sleek, uniform and low-maintenance finish that enhances the overall appearance of your windows and doors. Unlike traditional liquid paint, powder coating produces minimal waste, as any overspray can be collected and reused. Most powder coatings are free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them a more environmentally friendly choice.

Do powder coated windows and doors last?

Powder coated windows and doors are known for their longevity. The curing process during manufacturing ensures a robust bond between the coating and aluminium surface, creating a finish that withstands the test of time. With proper care and maintenance, powder-coated windows and doors can last for many years without losing their aesthetic appeal or protective properties.

Are coloured powder coatings available?

Choosing the right door colour is essential, and the process of powder coating frames allows for a wide range of looks and finishes, providing property owners with the flexibility to create their preferred design. As well as more than 150 RAL shades, you can select classic metallic looks and woodgrain finishes, giving you greater customisation options.

Is powder coating available for inner and outer frames?

Powder coating is a versatile solution that can be applied to both inner and outer frames of windows and doors, and you could even check whether your supplier offers dual colour products. Dual shades add a different colour to the internal external side of the door. This allows you to maintain a cohesive style throughout your indoor living spaces while ensuring the finish blends seamlessly with your exterior design scheme and property architecture.
