Why the retail sector needs protective coatings
In the fast-paced retail environment, the durability and appearance of fittings are critical. Shelving, racks, and fixtures must endure constant interaction with products, customers, and equipment, all while maintaining a flawless aesthetic. Powder coating for retail is the ideal solution, providing a robust, visually appealing, and long-lasting protective layer.
At Northpoint, our extensive pre-treatment and sustainable coating process is designed to safeguard fittings against damage, rust, and wear at an early stage. This ensures that your retail fixtures remain functional and attractive for years to come, even under heavy use. We also understand the importance of presentation in retail spaces – our process eliminates defects, ensuring a high-quality finish that enhances the overall shopping experience.
We also offer tailored packing solutions to maintain the integrity of your products post-coating. From minimal protection to robust packaging, we ensure your items arrive in pristine condition, ready for immediate use.
Process Northpoint would go through to coat
In the retail sector, appearances and durability matter and so we ensure that every item we coat is as functional as it is visually appealing.
Here’s how we deliver premium powder coating solutions tailored to the unique needs of retail environments:
Surface preparation: We begin by thoroughly cleaning each item to remove dust, grease, and contaminants that could hinder the coating’s adherence. We also do a pre-treatment to eliminate imperfections and create a surface that promotes strong adhesion.
Masking and inspection: Areas requiring protection from the coating are carefully masked to ensure clean lines and sharp edges. Every item undergoes a detailed review to confirm it is prepared to perfection before proceeding to the coating phase.
Powder application: Once the surface is prepared, we apply an even layer of powder. Our technology ensures uniform coverage, even on intricate designs like shelving units or decorative display pieces. Retail is all about branding and style, so we offer a wide variety of finishes, textures, and colours to align with your brand image and store design.
Curing: Items are placed in a high-temperature curing oven where the powder is heated and fused into a durable, protective layer. This process not only solidifies the coating but also enhances its resistance to scratches, chips, and general wear.
Quality assurance: Every item is inspected for consistent coverage, proper finish, and quality.
Delivery: After passing our quality assurance checks, your items are securely packaged for transport and are ready to enhance your retail space.
With our advanced powder coating process, we help retail businesses create stunning, resilient spaces that leave lasting impressions on customers. Whether it’s high-traffic fixtures or bespoke display units, we deliver finishes that combine beauty and toughness.
