ANODIZING VS POWDERCOATING
-
do you have test comparision between powdercoated aluminium vs anodized railings in a salt air enviroment. THANK YOU
PETER VOGRIC- MASSAPEQUA New York
According to Southern Aluminum Finishing, which offers both, powdercoated aluminum seems like a better bet in a salt air environment. However, if these railings are likely to be deliberately scratched with coins, knives, etc., by passersby, I think that changes the equation markedly because it's quite difficult to damage an anodized coating.
