This interactive web based tool allows you to view our range of colours and finishes and lets you see how those options would look when applied to a building façade. When you have carefully selected your requirements you can then easily request physical samples to be despatched to help confirm and validate the real-world look of that specific colour and finish.
With this new and unique Design Studio web based tool, we are giving you greater control of your creative vision for your façade than ever before.
Consider your options that enhance, protect and endure.
Kawneer’s existing powder coating facility was converted to ‘chrome free’ – the first existing plant in the UK to be upgraded to this environmentally friendlier pre-treatment system.
Kawneer Permacover™ is a high quality polyester powder paint finish, offering a wide range of solid and metallic colours, providing outstanding resistance to environmental conditions.
Finishes are applied by a 12 stage pre-treatment process to achieve maximum exterior durability; our Matt, Gloss and Satin finishes are guaranteed up to 30 years. Aluminium profiles are chemically pre-treated prior to the application of coatings, which are fully heat-cured to produce the final protective coating. Kawneer’s in-house paint plant gives complete control over paint quality. Guarantees are subject to application and Kawneer acceptance in marine, industrial, swimming pools or other aggressive atmospheres.
Kawneer Permanodic® is a range of subtle anodised colours which have been specifically developed for architectural glazing systems.
Kawneer anodised colours are obtained by giving the complete aluminium profiles a caustic etch, followed by anodic treatment, to produce a high density aluminium oxide coating. The aluminium oxide has a minimum coating thickness of 25 microns. The aluminium is immersed in specific electrolytes and subjected to stringent process controls, to produce a hard coating which forms an extremely durable protective surface which is fade free.
A well tried colour anodising process, proven in accelerated laboratory tests, extensive field trials and contract experience gives architects and specifiers product confidence. By interference colouring, produced by enlarging the anodic pores and depositing nickel metal in the base, a steel blue-grey colour is produced which is fade free.
Subject to compliance with Kawneer’s requirements, a 25-year finishes guarantee can be obtained.
