Polyester Powder Coatings

Polyester powder coating, known for its durability and versatility, is a popular option for metal furniture. This coating process involves applying a fine powder that is cured under heat to create a hard, protective finish. The finish is scratch, chip, fade, and chemical-resistant, making it ideal for pieces exposed to heavy use or outdoor environments.

Polyester powder coating offers complete customization and personalization of furniture with its ability to be applied in a wide range of colors and finishes. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking to add a touch of individuality to their space, whether it’s a sleek modern look or a more traditional and classic style.

Another advantage of this coating method is its long-lasting and low-maintenance nature. Once a piece is powder-coated, it requires minimal upkeep, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run. Whether you’re looking to create a one-of-a-kind furniture piece or add elegance to your existing decor, polyester powder coating is an excellent choice.

Electro-plating

Electroplating is a process that involves the application of a thin layer of metal to the surface of another metal. In the case of brass and copper table legs, this process results in a bright and shiny finish that is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any piece of furniture.

One of the biggest benefits of electroplating is its ability to create a range of finishes, including antique, satin, or bright. This allows for even greater customization and personalization of furniture pieces, and can help to further enhance the aesthetic appeal of the piece. Whether you’re looking to create a timeless and classic look or a more modern and contemporary style, electroplating can help you achieve your desired result.
