Custom metal finishes that elevate your Hole Product solution!
Protect, Enhance, and Extend Performance
McNICHOLS is pleased to offer and coordinate a wide range of pre- and post-fabrication finishing options for McNICHOLS® Specialty Metals and Gratings, including powder coating, galvanizing, anodizing, and polishing, as well as custom solutions tailored to your project requirements!
Post-fabrication services such as hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating provide essential corrosion resistance and long-term durability in demanding environments. For architectural applications, Aluminum can be anodized, and Stainless Steel can be polished to deliver a clean, refined appearance. For projects requiring precise color control, RAL color matching is available across a variety of coatings and textures.
Specialty electrochemical treatment that grows an oxide layer on aluminum products. Creates an integral, low-maintenance finish with improved abrasion and corrosion resistance. Used for façades, trim, and architectural aluminum where long-life appearance matters.
Galvanizing applies a protective zinc coating before or after fabrication and is commonly specified to help provide long-term corrosion protection in demanding outdoor, industrial, and high-traffic environments.
Specialty electrochemical and mechanical processes to smooth and brighten Stainless Steel. Improves cleanability and corrosion resistance and is known for its high-end aesthetic. Often used in sanitary, medical, food, and high-visibility architectural applications.
Powder Coating is a dry finishing process that uses electrostatically applied powder cured into a durable, continuous film. Often selected for architectural panels, Infill Panels, railings, Designer Metals, and branded elements.
McNICHOLS is pleased to offer a wide range of RAL color finish options that can be painted or powder coated to match your project's aesthetic and performance requirements.
