Metallic and Special-Effect Powder Coatings for Emboss’ Three-Dimensional Cladding Surfaces

Powder coating, with its evolving colour, decorative, and aesthetic effects that imitate natural surfaces and improve both the appearance and the functional performance of the treated components, is increasingly the preferred choice of architects and designers for finishing architectural elements, such as metal cladding. That is also thanks to the collaboration and joint experimentation between metal panel manufacturers and powder coating manufacturers. In this article, we recount the professional partnership between Emboss Panels, a specialist in the production of metal panels with three-dimensional effects, and TIGER Coatings, which supplies it with special-effect, matte and flat matte, metallic, and anodised-like powder coatings to enrich its products’ sculpted surfaces.
