There are few routes as interesting as powder coating when it comes to protecting fences. Powder-coated wrought iron fences are free of toxic paint solvents but still provide years of protection. How are powder-coated wrought iron fences made? By sandblasting the fence to remove imperfections and then applying the coating with an applicator gun that statically charges and propels the sealant in powder form. After, it’s cured in an oven, bonding the powder to the metal permanently.
If you’re interested in powder-coated wrought iron fences, read on to find out some of the significant benefits you can take advantage of by using powder coating.
Total Rust Resistance
The regal brilliance of a wrought iron fence can come to a screaming halt after a few seasons of heavy rain that start to cause rust. While there are plenty of paint options out there that prevent rusting, you’ll find that minor scratches and large chips leave your fence vulnerable to long-term rust. Not only does rust look bad, but it also degrades the integrity of your fence—resulting in fewer security benefits. Unlike paint, powder coating doesn’t chip and will prevent rust completely.
Years Of Protection
As we’ve already mentioned, paint isn’t the most durable coating out there—it chips, scratches, and flakes away from dents in your wrought iron fence. Powder-coated wrought iron fences avoid these troubles because they’re just about impossible to damage, even if you were to take a hammer to it and do your best to cause damage. Powder coatings are in it for the long haul, giving you years and years of protection, so your fence stays in the best condition.
Complete Customization
There’s a misconception that paint is superior because you can choose more colors and powder coating only comes in dull black or gray finishes. The truth is, powder coating gives you extensive options for color and finish. Whoever is applying your powder coating can come up with custom colors and show you samples to help you choose what’s best for you.
Likewise, several finish options include smooth, polished metal or a glossy, candy-like look. Maybe you want to keep it traditional and have your wrought iron fence still feel like wrought iron. Not a problem!
Revitalize Fencing
While powder coating is an excellent option for new wrought iron fencing, it’s also an ideal route for refinishing an old fence. This is because the first step of the sandblasting will remove any rust or damage. It’s an easy way to give a fresh look to older fencing.
