conservatories

Colour gives
Quantal
aluminium roofs
that special
finishing touch
Adding a conservatory, orangery
or atrium to a property is a great
way of enhancing living space, but a
coloured roof without doubt adds
that extra finishing touch that sets
a property apart from the rest.
Quantal’s aluminium
conservatory roofs are
available in a range of
colours, from subtle, heritage
shades to bolder and brighter
contemporary colours –
and just about anything in
between, so whether the
property is modern or period,
there is a colour that will
improve it and add value.
In fact, the colour can be
anything the homeowner
wants it to be, thanks to a
broad colour choice based on
industry standard RAL and
BS (British Standard) shade
charts.
The homeowner can,
therefore, choose their colour
as they would with ordinary,
liquid paint. But that is where
all similarities stop when
comparing liquid paint and
powder coating. The Quantal
in-house paint shop team use
the latest ‘spray and bake on’
process to powder coat the
aluminium roof in the highgrade acrylic colour of choice.
In fact it is the same process
that is used on car bodywork

and modern bicycle frames that
gives such a durable finish.
Powder coating provides a
superior finish, it’s as simple
as that, says Quantal. Due to
the application process and
the fact that the paint is baked
on at 60degC, the colour with
powder coating adheres much
better than liquid paint and
forms more of a skin over the

‘The result
is a smooth,
uniform finish’
aluminium. This results in an
even distribution of colour ,so
doing away with any variations
between vertical and horizontal
sections. The result is a
smooth, uniform finish, similar
to the ones on those gleaming
new cars in the showroom.
The other great advantage of
the powder coating process is
the tough, durable finish that
is fully guaranteed by Quantal
to last.
After all, nobody wants
