Powdertech Wood Finish (PWF) column casings
Powdertech (Corby) Ltd
London Road Retail Park near Biggleswade has a curved canopy supported by steel columns. Metal columns would not suit the look of the shopping park and wooden posts would require frequent maintenance. 22 aluminium casings up to 8 metres high made from 78 semi-circular sections were coated in wood effect finish were produced to enclose the canopy supports. PWF replicates the appearance of wood with variation in colour, grain density and grain pattern. By using PWF, designers can combine the look of wood with the strength and practicality of metal. Expensive timber need not be used, an environmentally sound decision.

Jacqui Hughes
NBS Source is so easy to use and has been a real help for us in identifying products for our projects. It's been really beneficial to be able to compare products and product data before making a decision on what goes into the specification.
Carl Sablon
Senior Associate at Hollis
NBS Source looks fantastic, really clear and really good user interface, and really good product information. It's key for manufacturers to utilise it, add in the right product information and keep it up to date.
