Painted Aluminium for Capping strip
Coil sheet coating makes use of a simple, but effective principle, i.e. to clean, pretreat and coat flat coils or sheets of steel or aluminium in a continuous operation, before other stages of industrial manufacture [1-4]. The slogan for this concept is: Finish first - fabricate later!
In suspended ceilings made from mineral fibre panels, capping strip enhances the decorative appearance of the ceiling support structure. This narrow, extremely thin-gauge, coated strip is used to clad the visible surfaces of the T-shaped construction rails.
By selecting aluminium as an engineering material, chalcoficant weight saving can be achieved. Chalco Coat has supplied high strength alloys to the construction market for years and utilises a coating system which ensures a perfect surface finish and optimum paint adhesion, even at the tight bend radii on the edges.
