Tips on Choosing Joinery

Standards

First check the joinery bears both the national trade standard as well as that of any independent testing bodies.

Make sure that you are selecting joinery that is suitable for the zone of your property.

Colours and Finishes

Long life durablity requires a stable base material and a high performance surface finish. Joinery requires a strong and stable base material such as Aluminium. This provides a very stable base for both common finishing processes:

• Electrostatic powdercoating
• Anodising

Both these processes provide a high quality and durable surface protection with a wide range of decorative properties. Other less stable materials require regular repainting and maintenance, which adds to the cost of ownership. These now account for less than 5% of the total demand.

When specifying a finish it is essential that you consider whether the joinery is for internal or external use. A thinner film thicknesses is used for indoor use, and are unlikely to be satisfactory for outdoor use.
