Application

Wood finish is suitable for internal and external applications with both decorative and protective functions. When long spans are needed PWF can be used with aluminium or steel to produce a realistic and practical alternative.

Suitable for application onto galvanized steel, mild steel and aluminium.

  • Material design: Flat, folded, circular, formed, welded or fabricated.
  • Internal and external locations.
  • Architectural metalwork including façade, solar shading, spandrel panels, handrail etc.

Description

Powdertech Wood Finish (PWF™) was formulated by Powdertech to match the natural variations in colour, grain density and grain pattern of wood. Some of the finishes also have texture. Wood has an instinctive appeal as a building material, associated with the natural world and its warmth and texture.
