Not just color – unique advantages of antique coating
Today in our "Expert's Eye" series, we feature "antique" powder coatings, which have a thick, orange peel-like structure and hammer effects. So far, our articles have focused mainly on the color, which looks very interesting, but textured paints, generally speaking, "antique" have many other advantages.
MAIN ADVANTAGES OF ANTIQUE COATINGS:
1) Exceptional visual effect – deep structure and noble character.
Antique paints create a multitoned, irregular metallic effect that gives the elements a look of:
- aged metal,
- wrought iron,
- on a galvanized or patinated surface.
This makes the details look more premium, and any scratches are less visible than on smooth coatings.
2) They perfectly conceal surface imperfections.
The structural effect of antiquity:
- hides minor scratches and unevenness of the surface,
- also allows for application on elements that are not visually perfect,
- produces a high-end finish effect — even with less-than-ideal material.
This is a huge advantage in the production of aluminum details, such as fittings.
3) Extremely high resistance to damage.
Antique paints create a coating:
-
thicker than smooth paints,
-
resistant to impact, abrasion, and scratches,
-
durable in areas exposed to heavy use.
Perfect for products exposed to various installation and operating conditions.4) Premium effect without high costs.
Compared to:- spray structural paints,
- galvanic coatings,
- chemical aging of metal,
Antique powder paints are cheaper, more repeatable, and safer for the environment.
5) Ideal for architectural elements and metal details.
Antique paints are used in, among others:- facade elements,
- window and door joinery,
- balustrades,
- gates,
- aluminum details (such as parapet ends),
- architectural accessories.
They give products a richer appearance without increasing the production cost.
