Lawn & Patio Furniture
Here in southeast Texas, outdoor furniture is constantly bombarded with harsh weather patterns, corrosive (salt & chlorinated) environments, and relentless humidity. It’s a dreadful cycle of “Sun, Rain, Rust, Repeat”. Although corrosion in all its forms is impossible to stop, Houston Powder Coaters proudly offers several products and procedures to inhibit this destructive process and elongate the life of your lawn and patio furniture.
At Houston Powder Coaters, all furniture pieces will pass through a stringent 11-point process to ensure a top-quality protective finish. Surface preparations include the removal of all previous coatings through burn-off, abrasive-blast, and/or hand-etching techniques. This process not only removes other contaminants like rust and dirt, but it also creates “anchor profiles” for the powder to adhere to. The furniture is then carefully hung and positioned on large racks where it is hosed down with compressed air to ensure a clean and dust-free surface.
Next begins the back-and-forth artistry of maneuvering the pieces from the coating booth to the oven several times over, where they will receive a unique coating system that will hold up to Houston’s heat and humidity. Experienced applicators spray every inch of every piece multiple times to ensure an equal and level build-up of powder. Once in the oven for the last time, the resulting flow and hardening of the powder will create a durable and elegant finish. Depending upon the pre-determined coating and its specifications, the pieces will lastly undergo a series of quality checkpoints to ensure that the application, curing, and resulting finish are of the highest standards.
