What is powder-coating?
At Origin, we paint our doors using a method known as powder-coating, which can improve the durability of your customers’ doors. The heating process causes the powder coating to harden and provide a very durable, long-lasting, weather-resistant finish. Applied using an electrostatic process after a special pre-treatment, it is then cured at 200°C to form a robust coating that is tougher than conventional paint, whilst maintaining a completely smooth surface.
Powder-coating also allows us to offer a much wider selection of colours and shades than if we were using traditional paint. In addition to this, powder-coating is also better for the environment than traditional liquid paint.
Dual-colour options
With Origin front doors, your customers have the option of a dual-colour option where the outside of the door matches the exterior of the home while the inside complements the interior décor.
A popular dual colour option is 9910G in/ 7016M out.
