Powder coating for
architectural hardware
Intense, matte color options for enhanced aesthetics and durability
Architectural hardware plays a crucial role in the overall aesthetics and functionality of buildings. Whether it's door handles, window handles, or furniture fittings, these elements contribute to the visual appeal and functionality of a space. One method that has gained significant popularity in the architectural industry is powder coating, a versatile finishing technique known for its durability, aesthetic versatility, and environmentally-friendly attributes.
What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that involves applying a fine powder made of pigments, resins, and other additives to a surface. The powder is electrostatically charged and then sprayed onto the surface, creating a strong bond that is cured under heat, resulting in a durable and smooth finish. This process is commonly used for a wide range of materials including stainless steel.
Benefits of Powder Coating in Architectural Hardware: door fittings, window fittings and other accesories
- Durability: Powder-coated door hardware is known for its durability and quality. This finish requires minimal maintenance and is environmentally friendly, making it an excellent choice for both aesthetics and long-term performance.
- Aesthetic Versatility: Powder coating offers an extensive array of colors and (matte) textures. This allows architects and designers to achieve the desired look, whether it's a sleek modern appearance or a more traditional aesthetic.
- Matte Appeal: Matte powder coatings offer an elegant, subdued finish that minimizes fingerprints and surface reflections, adding sophistication to the overall look.
- Environmental Benefits: Unlike traditional liquid paints that often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), powder coatings are free from solvents and VOCs. This makes powder coating a more environmentally-friendly choice, aligning with sustainable design practices.
- Uniform Finish: Powder coating creates a uniform and consistent finish without drips, runs, or sags. This ensures that architectural hardware maintains its intended appearance, even in intricate and detailed designs.
- Ease of Maintenance: The durable nature of powder-coated surfaces simplifies maintenance. They can be cleaned with mild soap and water, and they are less prone to damage from cleaning agents.

Most popular powder coating finished for architectural hardware
While the satin stainless steel finish dominated the door hardware landscape for years, the last 5 to 10 years have witnessed an exponential surge in demand for colored alternatives. By "colored," we don't refer to loud shades; rather, we're talking about rich, intense hues and deep, dark tones, such as our immensely popular satin black finish. Moreover, the contemporary matte bronze color has been experiencing a notable rise in demand. For those seeking more understated shades, our satin white finish offers an elegant option.
