Q: What is the difference between satin anodized, aluminum paint and the other finishes?


A. See finish descriptions:


  1. Satin Anodized - Aluminum extrusions best described as a polished aluminum look. Factory cleaned.
  2. Aluminum paint - Closely replicates a cleaned aluminum finish with the added benefits of powder coat paint.
  3. Galvanized Finish - Steel with a protective zinc coating. Factory cleaned.
  4. Mill Finish - Raw (no finish), factory cleaned.
  5. Powder Coat paint - Baked-on textured polyester powder coat paint with a rust-resistant prohibitive pre-coat. Powder coat paint is an extremely durable finish and holds up well to the stress of shipping, installation, general wear and aging. This finish resists the scratching, peeling, cracking, chipping, fading and other problems associated with e-dip and other painting methods. Powder coat paint also serves as an excellent primer when final paint color is applied in the field.
