Architectural-Grade Powder Coating Finishes

Architectural metalwork is visible. Screens, balustrades, fencing, and decorative metal elements are part of the finished look of a building or space, which means the coating has to look right as well as perform well.

Star Powder Coating provides powder coating for architectural and decorative metalwork for builders, architects, landscapers, and metal fabrication companies in Melbourne. We work from the full Dulux Powdercoat and Interpon architectural colour ranges, which include the standard colours specified in most architectural projects.

What We Coat: Architectural and Decorative Metalwork

Balustrades: posts, handrails, infill panels, and base plates for internal and external balustrade systems
Privacy screens: laser-cut screens, decorative panels, and privacy screens for residential and commercial use
Fencing: fence panels, posts, rails, gate frames, and pool fencing components
Louvre systems: louvre blades, frames, and head and sill sections for louvre windows and privacy louvres
Window and door frames: aluminium and steel framing sections, sill covers, and associated hardware
Pergola and outdoor structures: pergola beams, rafters, posts, and bracket plates
Handrails: internal and external handrail sections, brackets, and support posts
Decorative elements: custom fabricated metalwork for architectural feature walls, signage frames, and decorative screen installations

Colour and Finish Options for Architectural Projects

Architectural projects often specify colours from the Dulux Powdercoat architectural range or Interpon D series. These include the standard natural and neutral tones that architects specify for screens, balustrades, and structural elements.

Finish types available: gloss, satin, low sheen, matt, fine texture, and metallic. For contemporary architectural work, low sheen and satin finishes are most common.

Custom colours and colour matching available. Contact us with your colour specification before the job is ready to ensure the correct powder is available.

Built for Australian Conditions

UV resistant: colour holds without fading or chalking under Australian sun
Corrosion resistant: weatherproof barrier for outdoor balustrades, screens and fencing
No peeling: the bonded finish does not peel or lift like paint can over time
Coastal compatible: discuss pre-treatment and powder selection for marine environments

Melbourne's weather is tough on exterior metalwork. A quality powder coat finish holds up to UV, heat, moisture, and salt air without fading, chalking, or peeling. For coastal projects or particularly exposed installations, talk to us at drop-off about pre-treatment and powder selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match the Dulux Powdercoat colours specified by an architect?

Yes. We work from Dulux Powdercoat and Interpon references. Provide the colour code and we'll confirm availability and source the powder if needed.

Do you coat aluminium as well as steel balustrades?

Yes. Aluminium balustrade components are a common job for us. Aluminium requires chromate or other pre-treatment before powder application, which we handle.

What is the maximum balustrade or screen size you can coat?

Our oven handles components up to 7.5 metres long. Most residential and commercial balustrade sections and screens fit within this limit.

Is powder coating suitable for pool fencing?

Yes. Powder coating is commonly used on pool fencing. For coastal locations or high-chlorine environments, discuss substrate choice and pre-treatment with us.
