If you want a better way to add durability, longevity, and style to your belongings, turn to our furniture powder coating services. Our experts at Powder Coating restore, protect, or customize metal furniture. Unlike relying on liquid paint that can chip and fade, powder coating uses a dry powder that is electrostatically applied and then cured under heat to create a tough, even finish.
What Is Furniture Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a unique finishing method that uses a quality, dry powder made of resin and pigments. The powder is sprayed onto a metal surface and carries an electrostatic charge to help it cling evenly to the metal.
After everything is applied, we use a specialty curing oven that heats the powder into a smooth, hardened finish that bonds tightly to the surface. Powder coating doesn’t rely on solvents or multiple wet layers for a thicker, more durable coating that protects furniture from weather, wear, and corrosion.
Types of Furniture That Can Be Powder Coated
Furniture powder coating works best on metal furniture and fixtures, including:
- Patio tables and chairs
- Outdoor dining sets
- Wrought iron furniture
- Aluminum patio furniture
- Metal benches
- Restaurant patio furniture
- Poolside lounge chairs
- Decorative metal frames and fixtures
Instead of restoring or replacing your old furniture, try a powder coating. With over 5,000 colors, textures, and finishes to choose from, we make it easy to customize your favorite look.
Why Powder Coating Is Ideal for Outdoor Furniture
When you live in the greater Rocklin area, outdoor furniture is constantly exposed to sunlight, humidity, storms, moisture, and heat. You’ve probably noticed painted furniture quickly fades, chips, or peels under these conditions.
Benefits of making the switch to powder coating includes:
- Premier durability compared to paint
- Resistance to rust and corrosion
- Protection from UV fading
- Even, consistent coverage
- Longer lifespan for furniture
Powder coatings are strong and also commonylu sed forcommercial outdoor furniture in restaurants, hotels, and public spaces.
Our Powder Coating Process
Proper prep work is absolutely essential for a long-lasting powder coated finish. Our team at Powder Craft takes several steps to make sure you end up with a strong adhesion and consistent coverage.
Surface Preparation
We use burn-off and media blasting techniques to safely and thoroughly remove dirt, grease, old coatings, and oxidation from the bare metal. Prep work is essential to make sure your powder coating adheres best to a clean, textured surface.
Repairs and Inspection
Our technicians inspect your furniture for any problems or structural issues. We’ll let you know if rust damage, loose welds, or bent sections need to be addressed before starting the powder coat process.
Powder Application
Our technicians apply the powder using specialized spray equipment. The electrostatic charge allows the powder to evenly coat the entire piece. The powder particles cling to the metal for smooth and consistent coverage, even across hard to reach angles.
Heat Curing
After the powder coating is complete, we place your furniture in a specialty curing oven. The heat works to melt the powder and chemically bonds it to the metal surface. Once it’s thoroughly cooled, the coating forms a hard, durable finish that resists scratching, chipping, and fading.
Color and Finish Options
We offer thousands of color, texture, and fixture options for furniture restoration or customization, including:
- Matte finishes
- Satin finishes
- High-gloss finishes
- Textured coatings
- Metallic colors
- Custom color matching
When to Refinish Furniture Instead of Replacing It
Metal furniture pieces are often still sound with years of usability despite a deteriorating finish. Powder coating can restore these items to like-new condition.
Refinishing is often a good option when:
- Paint is chipped or faded
- Rust is forming on the surface
- Furniture color needs updating
- Commercial furniture needs refurbishment
- Older pieces are still structurally strong
Restoring furniture through powder coating often costs significantly less than purchasing new high-quality metal furniture.
Furniture Powder Coating FAQs
How long does powder coating last on furniture?
Powder coating can last many years when applied correctly. Outdoor furniture coated with powder typically maintains its finish far longer than traditional paint, especially when exposed to sun and moisture.
Can rusted furniture be powder coated?
Yes. Rusted furniture can often be restored through sandblasting and proper surface preparation before coating. Removing corrosion allows the powder coating to bond directly to clean metal.
Is powder coating better than painting furniture?
Powder coating is generally more durable than paint. The cured coating is thicker, more resistant to chips and scratches, and less likely to fade or peel over time.
Can aluminum patio furniture be powder coated?
Yes. Aluminum furniture is commonly powder coated because it accepts the coating well and benefits from the added protection against weather and oxidation.
How long does the powder coating process take?
The process typically takes several days depending on preparation, coating, and curing schedules. Larger furniture sets or commercial projects may require additional time.
