In-House Powder Coating Services

Thorndell Engineering Limited have over 40 years of experience. Our expertise lies in Portal Frame Buildings, Bespoke Staircases, Balustrades and Balcony Installation. We also work on smaller products such as handrails, metal fences and gates, and pedestrian barriers. As Structural Engineering Consultants, we work closely with our clients from design to installation to offer bespoke, innovative solutions tailored to their needs.

It's been a successful four decades for Thorndell, which has enabled us to expand our services and products. Our latest development was opening our in-house Powder Coating Plant in 2011 to offer on-site powder coating services. The addition of the plant has been a real asset to our business and our clients, too.

Powder coating is one of the most popular methods of applying paint to metal. Spraying a dry powder onto the product and then curing it with heat eliminates the need for solvents. It creates a hard finish that is tougher than conventional solvent-based paint. This process is suitable for many metals, such as mild steel, galvanised steel, aluminium and cast steel. It is often used on outdoor aluminium installations, including windows, door frames, and building facades, as it can help protect them from corrosion. This method is so popular because it's highly resistant to chipping, scratching and fading.

Having our own powder coating facility allows us to monitor quality control and ensure that each product only leaves the plant meeting our strict standards. We offer a wide range of RAL and BS colours for a multitude of products, offering quick turnaround on productions sized 1850 high x 3m long. However, we do have capacity on a separate line for much larger productions around 2300 high x 7.5 long.

However, our plant equipment isn't limited to powder coating alone! We can also offer shot blasting, priming and galvanising. Read more about our Powder Coating services.
