Stellar Aluminium reinforces in-house colour offer

With a recent industry communication from Qualicoat highlighting concerns about poor-quality powder coating and surface finishes entering the market, Stellar Aluminium says that its ‘commitment to quality stands out clearly’.

With a dedicated, in-house Qualicoat-accredited powder coating plant, Stellar controls every stage of the finishing process, painting and rolling its own profiles for superior quality, in contrast to some competitor systems that outsource coating and risk overspray on the polyamide.

Phil Parry, technical director at Epwin Window Systems, commented: “Having our own powder coating facility is a major differentiator. It gives us full control of quality and consistency and it means we can respond far more quickly to customer needs. The finish quality is exceptional and because we paint and then roll, there’s no risk of overspray or surface compromise.”

Stellar’s colour range and turnaround speed are designed to give fabricators a genuine commercial advantage. Over 93% of orders are delivered within five days, a turnaround that is said to rival the service of PVC-U systems. Stock colours include perennial favourites grey, white, black, grey on white and black on white. For bespoke projects, Stellar can paint any RAL colour, including textured finishes, with the same commitment to speed and finish quality.

Phil continued: “Fabricators are working to tight deadlines and the strength of our aluminium colour offer allows them to deliver faster and with confidence. While some suppliers can take up to four weeks to supply painted stock, our five-day standard and weekly deliveries on our own transport make us a far more reliable choice.”

Phil concluded: “Quality is never something we leave to chance. Because every Stellar profile is painted, rolled and checked here in Telford, we have complete confidence in the product we deliver. It’s a level of control and quality assurance our customers can rely on.
