With a recent industry communication from QUALICOAT highlighting concerns about poor-quality powder coating and surface finishes entering the market, Stellar Aluminium’s commitment to quality stands out clearly.
With its dedicated in-house QUALICOAT-accredited powder coating plant, Stellar controls every stage of the finishing process, painting and rolling its own profiles for superior quality. Unlike many competitor systems that outsource coating and risk overspray on the polyamide, Stellar keeps the process in-house to ensure every finish meets its exacting quality standards and fully aligns with QUALICOAT Seaside specification requirements.
Phil Parry, Technical Director at Epwin Window Systems, commented: “Having our own powder coating facility is a major differentiator. It gives us full control of quality and consistency and it means we can respond far more quickly to customer needs. The finish quality is exceptional and because we paint and then roll, there’s no risk of overspray or surface compromise.”
Stellar’s colour range and turnaround speed are designed to give fabricators a genuine commercial advantage. Over 93% of orders are delivered within five days, a turnaround that rivals the service of PVC-U systems. Stock colours include perennial favourites Grey, White, Black, Grey on White and Black on White. For bespoke projects, Stellar can paint any RAL colour, including textured finishes, with the same commitment to speed and finish quality.
Phil continued: “Fabricators are working to tight deadlines and the strength of our aluminium colour offer allows them to deliver faster and with confidence. While some suppliers can take up to four weeks to supply painted stock, our five-day standard and weekly deliveries on our own transport make us a far more reliable choice.”
The industry’s recent focus on coating quality reinforces just how vital in-house control is. In contrast to systems that rely on third-party coaters, Stellar’s QUALICOAT Seaside accreditation, stringent inspection processes and fully integrated production guarantee a consistently superior surface finish that lasts.
Phil concluded: “Quality is never something we leave to chance. Because every Stellar profile is painted, rolled and checked here in Telford, we have complete confidence in the product we deliver. It’s a level of control and quality assurance our customers can rely on.
From exceptional finish quality and lead-time reliability, Stellar Aluminium continues to lead from the front offering fabricators an unbeatable combination of speed, control and colour confidence.
