Graining by means of powder coating
Among our new services is engraining metal products using thermo-vacuum method (order decoration). There are 6 basic colors in the price list. Modern hi-tech equipment allows applying wood or natural stone texture onto preliminary powder coating of both flat and profile items. The pattern penetrates into a polymer coating 30-40 micron deep, which makes it possible to remove it without damaging the integrity of the coating. You can choose any texture from the samples.
By the decoration of metal items we mean a technology of applying a textured pattern (wood or stone) onto them. The process takes place in a heat chamber where under the influence of temperature special pigments from the powder coating move inward the metal item. Eventually we receive a beautiful looking surface with a high endurance coating, which is considerably superior in durability to materials it imitates and perfectly matches them.
Among the mastered and tested variants of decoration are Cremona Oak, Calvados, Calais Oak, Dark Wenge, Cherry, French Nutwood, Dark Pine, Blanched Oak and Beech.

Application
Graining is widely used in production. Decorated aluminum profile is applied for making office partitions, doors, windows, and other construction elements. The decoration is also used for making metalware (home appliances body, decorative grids) more aesthetically attractive.
Graining is also applied in the furniture trade in the process of making profiles. Angle elements and guides, supporting structures and rack shelves, and office partition elements perfectly match wooden elements and at the same time carry a big load.
Metal sills intended for caulking are actively used by parquetry, laying laminate and wood planks. Not less popular are they in the places where wooden floor gives way to tile made of natural stone or ceramic tiles. In this case the sill can match the color of the wood of stone.
Graining allows to receive items for decorating the interior of halls, bathrooms and kitchens. Unlike natural materials, they provide higher endurance and lower weight, a great and unquestionable advantage. Thus, for lowering the floor loading in rooms decorated with stone metal suspended ceilings imitating texture and color of marble, granite, and malachite can be installed.
Metal goods with decorative powder coating are able to resist the impact of moisture, and aggressive environments, that is why they are irreplaceable by creating decorative finishing in specialized areas: swimming pools, laboratories, shower cabins.
Technology
Metal products decoration technology is simple enough. However it requires special equipment. Preliminary powder coated elements are wrapped with film with decorative pattern applied to it by means of pigments. A profile or metal sheets are placed on traveling platform located in vacuum heat chamber. Close contact of the film with the product is secured with the help of vacuum, which removes air between film and the surface of metal. After that the platform with items gets into the heat camera, in which the decoration process runs for 5-10 minutes at the temperature of 170-190°C. Deep penetration of paint into the powder coating provides stability of applied pattern and its resistance to mechanical impact and detergents. The texture of the pattern is sealed into polymer coating through and thus it does not abrase during the service (thus it can be removed only together with the coating). Products with powder coating can be used in any climate conditions.
Advantages
Decoration of metal elements provides a broad range of advantages over their sole-colored analogues. Their mechanical stability is higher that that of the decorative coatings received by means of other methods. The structure of surface allows to cover the defects of the feedstocks, and the wide range of textures and relatively low weight allow using these items in architecture, transport, furniture trade.
