Why Do We Say Coatings Instead of Paint?

Wondering why we use the term “coatings” instead of “paint”? The short answer is that it all depends on what you want coated, what you are going to use it for, and, last but definitely not least, the environment it will be in—whether indoors, outdoors, underwater, or in a harsh environment.

Tailored Solutions for Your Needs: Before we can answer that, we need to discuss your individual needs. We can then use our vast experience to advise you and offer you a solution.

Considerations:

– Does it need to be primed before it is painted/powder coated?

– Does it require any specialist preparation?

Powder Coating

Robust and Durable Protection

Are you Facing issues with rusting or flaking finishes? Powder coating is a robust and durable industrial coating used by manufacturers and consumers to protect and preserve products and assets, from framework to bearing housings.

Preparation is Key: Powder coating is only as good as its preparation. Unfortunately, many examples of powder-coated materials lack proper preparation, leading to issues like rusting or flaking. How many pieces of garden furniture have you bought from chain stores that rust or flake after just one year?

At Mikris Finishers Ltd, we ensure meticulous preparation and protective coating application before powder coating. This guarantees a long-lasting finish that looks good for years. Our reputation is built on this meticulous process, and it’s what Mikris Finishers specializes in!

Stove Enamelling

Considering stove enamelling for your project? Stove enamelling is a wet paint process that is baked in the oven and comes out fully cured.

Health and Environmental Considerations: The paints used in the past for this process contained substances that have since been removed for health and environmental reasons following EU and Government directives. We firmly believe that the modern paints developed to replace them are substandard and definitely not as good as Mikris Finishers’ powder coating methods.

Your Choice, Our Expertise: However, if you still prefer to have your product stove enamelled, we can accommodate your preference. At Mikris Finishers Ltd, we ensure that your project receives the best possible treatment, whether through our superior powder coating methods or stove enamelling.
