Four New Trends in Coated Metal
There are shifts in trends and aesthetics in every industry. For metal coatings we are constantly balancing durability and resilience with changes in preferences. Here are four ongoing trends that we are seeing now.
- TEXTURED FINISH
A textured finish has become more common and allows a surface to be customized with an added visual element. Aluminum and steel can now be painted to look like tile or asphalt. The possibilities are endless! - MATTE FINISH
Shine and gloss have been popular for decades, but recently there’s been an uptick in matte finishes on coated metal. In addition to reducing glare, these paints offer an understated, uniform dimension to any surface. - CLEAR COATING
Adding a clear layer over the paint keeps the integrity of color and tone while ensuring the surface remains scratch resistant in even the most unforgiving climates. - SUSTAINABILITY
Currently, over 90% of the metal EDCOAT uses is made from recycled materials.
