Proper Preparation. Better Results.
Proper preparation is essential for achieving a durable and long-lasting coating system. Our in-house surface preparation process removes contaminants, oxidation and residues that can affect coating performance.
We prepare a wide range of fabricated components, structural steel, balustrades, gates and commercial metalwork before powder coating.
By managing preparation and coating under one roof, we maintain quality control throughout the entire process.

How We Prepare Your Project
Assessment
We review the item, material condition and coating requirements before work begins.
Surface Cleaning
Contaminants, residues, grease and surface impurities are removed from the metal.
Preparation
The surface is prepared to support strong adhesion and long-term coating performance.
Ready for Coating
The prepared component is ready for powder coating application and curing.
