Each piece of work is handcrafted, one at a time, using
traditional and modern processes. We are excited about sharing
with you our line of forged ironwork. You will be able to witness
our craftsmanship, the elaborate ornamentation and the decoration
of great intricacy and grace, which can be obtained with our
experience, and knowledge of iron forging.
Finishes:
Paint: When using paint, the entire piece is primed and
then painted - this is suitable for inside or outside use.
Refinishing for existing ironwork is also available through
Guntown Forge with sandblasting, followed by paint or powder
coating used for the new finish depending on the client's desires
and budget.
Rust finish: The "rust" finish is achieved by using a
chemical that causes the metal to have the original rust look, and
then a clear coat is applied over the entire piece to preserve it.
Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a
decorative and protective finish to a wide range of materials and
products that are used by both industries and consumers. The
powder used for the process is a mixture of finely ground
particles of pigment and resin, which is sprayed onto a surface to
be coated. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically
grounded surfaces until heated and fused into a smooth coating in
a curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high-quality, and
attractive finish. Powder coating is the fastest growing finishing
technology in North America, representing over 10% of all
industrial finishing applications.
Colors Offered:
Our wrought iron gates, fence and other ornamental iron products
are available in 3 standard colors, black, white and cream.
Custom color powder coating is also available in an unlimited
array of colors. Guntown Forge uses the highest quality powder
coating for all of our iron designs.
Powder coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching,
fading, and wearing than other finishes. The colors used in powder coating stay
bright and vibrant longer than paint and durability is incomparable. Texture
selections range from smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matte finish, and rough
textures designed for hiding surface imperfections or for a more artistic touch.
Powder coating offers many advantages listed below a most important being
greater durability and flexibility.
Advantages of Powder Coating:
- Durability exceeds most liquid coatings - Powder coating gives
our clients be they home owners, businesses or industrial clients
one of the most economical, longest-lasting, and most
color-durable quality finishes available.
- Wide variety of textures and glosses
- Finishes offer minimal surface irregularities, runs or sagging
- Highly Engineered
- To resist corrosion from chemicals and weather
- For UV stability to resist fading and discoloration
- For high impact resistance
- Thicker coatings provide longer wear
- Adhesion is greatly enhanced by blast-cleaning
- Flexibility is enhanced
- Environmentally Safe:
- Uses no volatile solvents - Unlike paint and other type
finishes powder coating is also highly protective of our
environment. While liquid finishes contain solvents which have
pollutants known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), powder
coating contains no solvents and releases negligible amounts, if
any, of VOCs into the atmosphere. Thus, there is no longer a need
for finishers to buy costly pollution control equipment. In
addition, most powder coating overspray that does not adhere to
the part can be retrieved and reused, virtually eliminating the
waste commonly found in liquid finishing processes.
- Meets tough environmental regulations - Elimination of VOCs
and reduction of wastes saves money and helps companies comply
more easily and economically with the regulations. The lack of
upkeep on a powder coated finish and the constant priming,
painting and repainting required often times on painted metal
designs offers our clients years of maintenance free enjoyment of
their Guntown Forge powder coated metal designs.
