Your fence is a long-term investment that protects your home and enhances its curb appeal. However, with endless finishing options available, making a choice can feel overwhelming. While traditional paint has been the go-to option for decades, powder coating is the modern alternative that offers greater durability and efficiency without compromising on aesthetic appeal.
Read on as we explore the benefits of powder coating for your fence and why it is becoming the preferred choice for Australian property owners.
What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a finish where a dry powder is electrostatically sprayed onto the fence and then heated to form a hard, protective layer. This process creates a durable, uniform coating that shields your fence from weather and wear.
The Benefits of Powder Coating
Corrosion Resistant: Powder coating creates a non-porous layer that acts as a defence against rust and oxidation. For properties along the coast, powder coating is an essential barrier to prevent structural corrosion.
Weather Resistant: The Australian sun is a challenge when trying to keep your fence looking brand new. However, powder coating is known to be sustainable under strong UV rays, preventing any cracking and fading that are typically experienced with standard paint.
Durability: The heating process in powder coating creates a physically stronger and more durable finish. Powder-coated fences have a higher resistance to scratches, chipping, peeling and other damage.
Low Maintenance: Powder coating experiences less wear and tear, meaning it requires minimal upkeep to stay looking new. A simple wash with mild soap and water occasionally is all that’s needed to keep it pristine.
Cost-Effective: While powder coating has a higher upfront cost, it saves money in the long run by eliminating recurring maintenance and repainting. Furthermore, by providing a shield for the underlying metal, powder coating extends the lifespan of your fence and prevents the expense of a full fence replacement.
Versatility: Powder coating offers unmatched aesthetic versatility and freedom. With a full colour range and various textured finishes, you can customise your fence to match the aesthetic of your property.
