Advanced Finishing USA is ready to learn more about your project and provide a detailed quote for wood grain powder coating services! Advanced Finishing specializes in projects that demand a beautiful wood grain appearance without the upkeep demands, lifespan limitations, weight, and availability constraints of natural wood. Using Decoral® licensed equipment, films, and powders, we can finish steel and aluminum parts with a powder coating that provides an incredibly authentic wood grain appearance and texture with more resistance to the elements than even the best-treated wood can offer.
Common applications for this process include finishing work for architectural applications such as ceiling systems, internal and external building cladding, and powder coating. They also include providing a wood-like finish to window, door, and curtain wall framings, environmental control sunshade systems, railings, and more. When styling difficult-to-access architectural items such as window trims and façade panels, wood grain powder coating is the perfect solution to provide a wood grain appearance while also providing UV and element resistance to ensure an extensive finishing lifespan. Contact us today for a quote on our wood grain powder coating services.
Over the last three decades, the Decoral® System’s capabilities for wood grain powder coating services have gained considerable momentum as a highly desirable metal finishing technique for contractors, designers, and architects. As one of the first adopters of Decoral® technology, our our 80,000-square-foot facility has become one of the largest single independent Decoral® licensees in America. All projects requiring wood grain powder coating services easily replicate the incredible hues, warmth, and patterns of real wood while offering the incredible supplemental benefits listed below.
For centuries, natural wood has been prized for its incredible versatility in colors and patterns. However, these qualities do not last forever and eventually require expensive replacement if not properly maintained. With Advanced Finishing USA’s wood grain powder coating services, our customers receive the beautiful finish they desire in a long-lasting, lighter-weight metal product. Each wood grain pattern below is available in smooth and textured finishes that meet AAMA 2604 specifications.
The wood grain powder coat options displayed below are currently available at Advanced Finishing for application on your next project. From the beautiful richness of Cherry Flame to the traditional Knotty Pine, we have a wood grain powder coat option to meet the demands or specifications of any project. Each wood grain pattern has been diligently recreated through the aid of computer programs to recreate subtle hues and grain patterns that are indistinguishable from the natural wood species. Additional wood species may be available upon request. Please contact us for more information.
Utilizing powders that are almost exclusively polyurethane-based, Advanced Finishing can easily create wood grain powder coating solutions that provide a light or dark wood appearance that mimics standard woods like oak, pine, and maple, as well as exotic woods like mahogany, teak, burlwood, and more. In addition to their appearance, these coatings also provide a textured feel when being applied to touchable surfaces like hand railings. The purpose of using polyurethane resin as our powder coating base is to afford the most authentic wood appearance possible. The semi-transparency of polyurethane allows for light absorption that affords warmth and depth, which is unattainable with other common coatings.
Our process of applying a realistic wood grain powder coating finish begins with pre-treatment, without which the lifespan of the coating will be compromised. Powder coating rarely fails as a process, but without proper pretreatment, the resulting coating will fail far sooner than a properly pre-treated part, particularly when exposed to an extreme outdoor environment.
Upon completion of pre-treatment, a polyurethane powder coat is applied and then fully cured to ensure a proper semi-translucent base. The semi-translucent base intends to afford the finished product a warmth and depth that other powder coating solutions cannot. Following this step, the desired wood grain appearance is applied to the coated substrate via a textile film that has a computer-generated image printed on it via special dye sublimation inks.
The substrate, which can be up to 24’ long, is wrapped in this film and then transported to a Decoral vacuum system, which removes all air between the film and the substrate to create a tight seal. The wrapped and vacuum-sealed product is then heated. This heating and pressure combination causes the film’s dye to transfer into the powder coating through sublimation. When removed from the oven, the film is released to reveal that its wood grain has been completely transferred, lending the product the desired wood grain appearance.
Wood grain powder coating is a finishing process that applies a realistic wood appearance to metal using heat, powder coating, and sublimation films.
It offers the look of real wood with better durability, UV resistance, lower maintenance, and longer lifespan than natural wood.
Wood grain powder coating is typically applied to aluminum and steel components used in architectural and structural applications.
Yes, wood grain powder coating is ideal for outdoor applications due to its resistance to UV exposure, moisture, and environmental wear.
Common applications include building façades, window and door frames, railings, sunshades, and architectural cladding systems.
The pattern is applied using a sublimation process where a printed film transfers the wood grain design onto a cured powder-coated surface.
