The durability and aesthetics of aluminium profiles largely depend on the applied surface treatment. ICS Alüminyum supports projects through three basic surface treatments coordinated at partner facilities.
Anodizing
An electrochemical process creates a natural oxide layer on the aluminium surface. This layer is extremely hard and wear-resistant.
Features: - 15-25 micron coating thickness - Natural, bronze and black colour options - Metallic appearance preserved - Long life in outdoor applications
Electrostatic Powder Coating
Powder paint is electrostatically applied to the profile surface and cured at 200°C in an oven.
Features: - All RAL catalogue colours - 60-120 micron coating thickness - Qualicoat certified partner processing - Scratch and chemical resistant
Wood Grain Coating (Sublimation)
Wood grain pattern is transferred onto the powder coating using a special film. Combines aluminium durability with warm wood aesthetics.
Features: - Walnut, oak, maple patterns - 10-year UV warranty - Virtually indistinguishable from natural wood
How to Choose the Right Coating?
Indoor or outdoor use, aesthetic expectations and budget are determining factors in coating selection. Anodizing and powder coating are the most common choices for architectural projects.
