For something so commonly found in households, powder coating isn’t well known by consumers.
It’s used to give appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers, furniture like desks and chairs, and home decor like light fixtures and chandeliers an attractive finish. But that’s not where the benefits end.
Here are ten reasons why powder coatings on products you have at home are a good idea and make sense.
1. Superior Durability
When companies apply powder coating to surfaces, these surfaces become more durable. They’re resistant to scratching, chipping, or otherwise wearing away prematurely.
That can be a game-changer if you want to invest in appliances, furniture, and other things and want them to last. Products with superior durability will last longer and look great for much longer than products lacking powder coating.
2. Corrosion Resistance
Another reason it pays to buy products that have been powder-coated is that such products will have corrosion and rust resistance.
The powder coating will safeguard the products so that moisture, ultraviolet rays, and chemicals don’t adversely affect the substrate.
So, powder coating will, by serving as a protective barrier, reduce the risks of corrosion and rust that can dim the aesthetic appeal of your stuff and safeguard against damage that negatively impacts longevity.
3. Environmentally Friendly
Unlike some coatings that are the opposite of eco-friendly, powder coatings don’t have volatile organic compounds or toxic solvents.
You can get the superior durability and corrosion resistance you want for protecting your household products–without jeopardizing the environment. If you consider yourself a steward of the environment and want to make decisions in line with that commitment, buying products with powder coatings will ensure you walk the walk and talk the talk.
4. Uniform Application
Another benefit of powder-coated products is that the coating is applied uniformly. That’s one reason why many homeowners aren’t even aware that any of their appliances, home decor, or furniture have been powder-coated. It looks like premium paint. So, when you have powder-coated products, you won’t see uneven areas or drips.
5. Wide Range of Colors and Textures
Yet another reason to consider products that have been powder-coated is that the coating is available in various hues and textures. In addition to picking from a rainbow of color options, powder coating is available in textured, matte, metallic, and gloss finishes.
6. Cost-Effective
While powder coating costs a bit more than premium paint, the benefits of the former over the latter mean powder coating can be a more cost-effective option. Powder-coated products have more durability than merely painted products, so you’ll get your money’s worth.
7. Versatile Application
Powder coating can be applied to ceramics, metals, wood, plastic, glass, and other materials. So, it offers versatile application options.
8. Easy Maintenance
Powder-coated products are relatively easy to maintain. The surface will make it easy to clean any grime or dirt.
9. Aesthetic Appeal
Don’t overlook the aesthetic appeal. After all, when people buy products for their homes–like sofas or tables–they factor things like aesthetics into the equation before making buying decisions.
Powder coating furniture, appliances, and other things will increase the oomph factor. And the durability means the products will look great longer and last longer.
10. Improved Weather Resistance
Yet another benefit of powder-coated products is better weather resistance. If you have an outdoor living space with outdoor furniture, the outdoor furniture will last longer and hold up better to the elements if they’re powder coated.
These are some reasons why powder-coated products make sense and are worth the investment. Again, the odds are you already have powder-coated products in your home. Now that you understand some of the benefits, you’ll likely appreciate the benefits powder coatings bring.
