Surface Finishes

Powder coating, anodising and liquid paint for aluminium and steel profiles, foil decors and aluminium cover caps for PVC. The finish governs both the appearance of a building and the way its envelope withstands the conditions around it, so process, pre-treatment and colour are specified together. We advise on all three and arrange the finishing with your order.

01Finishing

Finishing processes

On aluminium and steel, powder and liquid paint are applied over a pre-treatment layer that carries the corrosion protection and the adhesion. Anodising takes a different route and converts the aluminium surface itself into an oxide layer. Which process fits depends on the colour you want, the exposure of the site and the weather resistance the project calls for. PVC takes a different path again and draws its colour from foil decors or an aluminium cover cap.

Powder coating (Schüco PowColor)

Electrostatically applied powder, cured into a closed film, for aluminium and steel. Available in façade quality, highly weather-resistant and maximum weather-resistant grades.

Anodising (Schüco AnColor)

For aluminium, an electrochemical oxide layer that becomes part of the profile. Natural anodising (E6/C0), colour anodising (E1 to E5, C31 to C35) and a stainless-steel look.

Liquid paint (Schüco WetColor)

Wet paint on a PUR, Duraflon or PVDF base for aluminium and steel, including mica and trend shades and finishes such as Schüco AnoLine DF.

Anodised appearance in powder (Schüco AnoLine)

A powder range matched to anodised shades, for locations where standard anodising is attacked by salts or splashed mortar.
