ETEM: Color Selection Guide
The color you choose for your aluminum frames is of great importance, as it enhances the aesthetics of the final product while also affecting its durability over time.
The individual chooses, in collaboration with the aluminum manufacturer and the architect, the aluminum systems as well as the powder colors, which will offer an even result with high resistance to intense solar radiation, friction, etching and impacts.
There are 2 color categories:
Single-durability paints and super-durability powder paints.
These two (2) categories include:
1. Colors of simple durability:
Glossy with a smooth surface - in RAL shades
Matt with a smooth surface - in RAL shades
2. Ultra-resistant Colors:
Matte metallics with a sandblasted surface texture (Fine Texture) – in special shades
Matt with sandblasted surface texture (Fine Texture) - in RAL shades
Matte metals with a smooth surface - in special shades
Characteristics and advantages, by category:
Simple durability colors:
Glossy with a smooth surface – in RAL shades:
Easy to clean
Matt with a smooth surface - in RAL shades:
Compared to glossy smooths, greater durability & more difficult to clean
Ultra-Resistant Colors:
Matte metallics with sandblasted surface texture (fine texture) – in special shades:
Very high resistance to the solar radiation of our country, perfect shade and gloss retention, high resistance to etching, abrasion and knocks, easy cleaning, due to the specially designed surface.
Matt with sandblasted surface texture (fine texture) - in RAL shades:
Very high resistance to the solar radiation of our country, perfect shade and gloss retention, high resistance to etching, abrasion and knocks, easy cleaning, due to the specially designed surface.
Metallic mats with a smooth surface - in special shades:
Very high resistance to the solar radiation of our country, perfect shade and gloss retention, easy cleaning, due to the specially designed surface.
The very high intensity of solar radiation, which prevails in our country, causes fading and loss of gloss in aluminum frames. By choosing Ultra-Resistant Paints, we prevent damage that occurs and cannot be corrected.
At the same time, due to their specially designed surface, we protect the frames from scratches, friction and knocks, as a result of which they protect but also add durability and value to the construction, reducing maintenance costs at the same time.
For seaside areas, there are Sea Side Class paints.. ETEM has a QUALICOAT SEASIDE CLASS certificate, as confirmation that the company's paint shop has the ability to meet the requirements of this specific treatment.
Antibacterial powder paint : Certified antibacterial powder paints can inhibit the growth of bacteria up to 99.9%, a property that is maintained throughout the life of the coating. The silver ion technology ensures effective antibacterial protection for the entire life of the product, contributes to maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of surfaces and significantly reduces the risk of contamination. It is recommended for places and applications of high health interest, hospitals, pharmaceutical laboratories, medical equipment and also for places of high crowding, such as parks, playgrounds, gyms.
