EDITORS CHOICE
Standard woodgrain films are available in a wide range of photorealistic timber types and colours , such as oak , pine and beech , stone finishes such as marble are also available as are some patterned finishes , all of which can be seen on the Decoral website .
Many of these finishes are rated ’ outdoor ’, are suitable for outdoor use across the UK and are as hardwearing as any architectural powder coated finish . Whilst timber will change appearance over time and require some form of re-treatment every 5 to 10 years , its powder coated alternative will remain looking the same for many years with only minimal cleaning being required .
How is the finish quality maintained ?
Aluprof , a licensed QUALICOAT applicator , has also attained the optional QUALIDECO licence which ensures that the process of pretreatment and coating prior to and including the Decoral sublimation process meets the high quality expected by specifiers of architectural powder coating .
Not only do these finishes offer a robust finish for outdoor use , they are so realistic that they can be seen by many as the real thing , a testament to the technology in use today .
Used on fenestration systems internally or externally , these finishes can be integrated into any biophilic design specifications . Samples of finishes are available for review and specification directly through Aluprof UK .
Aluprof UK have been supporting specifiers in the UK and Ireland for over fifteen years with advanced systems that include , high performance windows doors and facade systems .
