What is powder coating?

Powder coating is a method by which electrically charged powder coating material is applied to the aluminum shutter through an electrostatic process. Electrostatic attraction holds the powder to the shutter until heat is added to fuse the powder and aluminum together. The paint actually adheres to the aluminum using and electric current, which is more durable and longer lasting than simple wet paint.

Powder Coating is also a much more energy efficient choice than other options. The application process for powder coating emits far less hazardous waste than other methods and the final product is an exceedingly more durable, long-lasting shutter with an aesthetically pleasing and consistent finish. The application process of powder coating goes through 3 steps; pre-treatment, powder coating, and curing. Check out our blog post on Powder Coating for a more detailed explanation of our 3-step application process.

The powder coating system at LAS lowers the cost of the shutter and can provide faster turn around time to you. There is no middle man. LAS can also match custom colors.

At LAS we design the shutter, we manufacture and build the shutter, we install the shutter, and we warrant the shutter. For more information about our shutters of to request a free estimate, click here.

Julia,
On behalf of Lighthouse Louisiana (formerly The Lighthouse for the Blind), please convey my thanks once again to your coworkers for supporting our summer camp for children who are blind. It is a rare thing to see a corporate family like yours, where people get together and give from their own hard-earned paychecks to local groups that are doing good work in the community. As donors, sometimes it’s hard to know what donations to organizations we care about are actually being used for. We consider LAS an important investor in our work, and we cannot thank you enough for helping us serve our clients.

Thank you,
Erin McQuade Wright
Director of Development

We just finished getting new windows from LAS and I can’t be any happier. From start to finish, this job was done professionally. The salesman, Garrett, came to the house on time and explained the windows and the process and answered any questions that we had at the time. He indicated the person who would do the measurements would call and set up an appointment within two weeks and the the windows would be built and installed in about 5 weeks. Well, the job – from the initial estimate to complete install – was three weeks. The installed that completed the job did an excellent job of install, caulking and cleanup. We can’t give them a higher rating. The most amazing thing so far is the look and how much it has cut down on outside noise. I highly recommend LAS and since they are local, from repairs to employing people, we keep it right here at home. We are very satisfied customers.
