POWDER COATINGS :
THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR SIGNAGE AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Outdoor signage is an important part of landscape design , serving as both a practical and interesting visual element . Whether you are creating wayfinding signs for a public park , accent pieces for hotel grounds , or branding signage for a commercial space , powder coatings provide the durability and aesthetic flexibility required . As an architectural powder coater , Powdertech Corby has always included landscape architecture within its remit and has developed a wide range of unique finishes that are particularly suited to signage and other metallic landscape features .
The advantages of using powder coatings on metal range from the lightweight and structural integrity of the metal component itself , to the durability and low maintenance of the sign when in situ . There are sustainability benefits also as powder coated metal can be easily stripped and re-used .
Versatility of finishes As with any architectural design , the environment and intended purpose of the space influences the overall visual approach and design considerations . In green parkland spaces it is often preferable for signage to blend seamlessly with natural surroundings . Natural materials themselves have inherent drawbacks . Wood must be continuously treated and maintained to prevent rot , mildew or warping ; stone is heavy to transport and work with ; terracotta is brittle and often damaged by frost . All these materials need regular cleaning , often requiring aggressive chemicals . On the other hand , blending with the natural world through powder coating finishes brings a raft of benefits . Over many years Powdertech has perfected a wide range of finishes replicating natural materials , and the only maintenance they require is quick wash down with water every now and again .
Powdertech Wood Finish matches the natural variations in colour , grain density and grain pattern of wood . It is perfect for signage in parks , nature reserves , and rusticthemed spaces
