Architectural Powder Coating
Our Architectural Powder Coating service is tailored for projects where metal is meant to be seen—not hidden. We specialize in finishing exposed structural steel, custom window and door systems, architectural stair assemblies, interior feature metal, balcony and guardrail systems, decorative panels, and other high-visibility components used in modern and luxury construction. We work closely with architects, fabricators, and contractors to achieve consistent color, sheen, and texture across all project elements, with finishes engineered for coastal durability and long-term performance. When metal is part of the design statement, we make sure it looks intentional, refined, and built to last.
Stunning Components that Last
In high-end architecture, metal isn’t just structural—it’s part of the visual language of the space. When steel, aluminum, and architectural alloys are intentionally exposed, they need a finish that delivers both refined aesthetics and long-term durability. Powder coating provides a uniform, controlled appearance with customizable color, sheen, and texture options, while also protecting the metal from corrosion, UV exposure, and daily wear. This makes it the preferred finishing method for feature stair systems, custom window and door assemblies, architectural railings, and other visible metal components. Below are some of the most common architectural elements where powder coating offers both performance and design impact:
Structural & Exposed Steel
Exposed steel has become a defining feature in contemporary architecture, where structure and design intentionally overlap. These beams, columns, trusses, and brace frames are meant to be seen, not concealed behind walls. Because they remain visually prominent, finish quality matters. Powder coating provides an even, consistent surface that enhances visual clarity while also delivering long-term corrosion protection. This is especially important in the Pacific Northwest, where moisture and coastal air can accelerate rust and oxidation on untreated or poorly finished steel.
When exposed steel is part of the design statement, it needs a finish that looks intentional and holds up. We provide uniform, architectural-grade coatings that elevate feature steel and ensure it performs long-term.
Railings & Guard Systems
Railings and guard systems are high-contact components that must balance aesthetics and durability. These elements are often close to eye level and touched frequently, which means inconsistencies and wear show quickly. Powder coating provides strong adhesion, scratch resistance, and predictable surface quality, making it ideal for both interior and exterior railing assemblies.
We deliver clean, consistent finishes that stand up to daily use and look polished up close. Ideal for both commercial and residential architectural rail systems.
Stair Systems
Architectural stair systems are often focal points that draw the eye through a space. Because they’re visible from multiple angles and distances, the finish needs to be cohesive across all components. Powder coating provides that cohesion while offering durability against scuffs, abrasion, and repeated foot traffic.
We ensure stair assemblies look seamless and refined while remaining durable over time. Perfect for floating, open-tread, and feature stair designs.
Windows & Openings
Custom steel and aluminum window systems require precise finish control to maintain consistent tone and sheen across frames, mullions, and hardware elements. Powder coating offers excellent coverage on complex profiles while preserving crisp lines and high visual clarity.
We produce smooth, uniform finishes that align with architectural glazing systems and maintain visual consistency across the full assembly.
Doors & Entrances
Entrances experience heavy use, handling, and exposure to the elements. Powder coating creates a resilient finish that resists fading, chipping, and moisture intrusion, making it ideal for storefronts, commercial entries, and high-touch door systems.
We finish entry components to maintain a strong first impression over time—durable, clean, and visually consistent.
