Senior Architectural Systems is encouraging specifiers to consider the use of colour in fenestration design and how the use of powder coating can not only help reduce maintenance requirements, but also offer essential design flexibility in the age of social distancing.

Richard Besant, Director of Powdertech (Corby) Ltd, discusses ‘Anomatch™’;

As one of the UK’s foremost architectural powder coaters, specialising in distinctive shades and textures, Powdertech Corby has created a stunning bespoke shade for external cladding on the Blackhorse Mills development in Walthamstow, North East London.

Retail parks are increasingly paying attention to the colours and textures used to decorate their units, giving them character and making the sites more appealing to visit and work within. Team Valley Retail Park, Gateshead, is no exception. For a suite of new retail units, designers concentrated on using shades and textures that address both style and sustainability in the materials they use and the appearance they present.

Powdertech Corby has been coating 1950s-style steel window frames for the iconic Grade ll listed BBC Television Centre building at White City, which has been reopened as a housing, leisure and office development, with four BBC studios remaining at the site.

Evolution™, Powdertech’s latest architectural powder coatings collection, is fascinating, daring and unusual. It is also a highly reliable metal finishing system for aluminium, galvanised steel and mild steel and carries the Powdertech 25-year colour, gloss and adhesion guarantee . Every Evolution finish is produced anew at the time of application and is unique for each customer. Combining flashes of one colour across a second gives a consistent inconsistency, mirroring the authentic variations in patina that occur as metals age and weather.

Pocket Living’s triangular residential tower, Mapleton Crescent, overlooking the River Wandle, has received many accolades. It is an impressive achievement – a tall block building arising with an undeniable beauty, from a small, originally unpromising site in Wandsworth.
