Refresh your designs with Powdertech ‘Zest’ P


owdertech Corby has launched‘Zest’, a vibrant range of powder finishes adding an exciting fresh new look to


architecturalmetalwork. Suitable for exterior and interior use on steel and aluminium,Zest finishes have excellent colour durability as well as the usual high protective performance against corrosion and abrasion that all Powdertech’s architectural finishes provide. Zest shades reflect the wonderful colours


on fruit stalls, and in gardens and parks. ‘Blueberry Sherbet’ and‘Tangerine Crush’ are just two of the finishes waiting to be plucked off the shelves to bring vitality to your project. The finishes are not a flat colour but have texture, with lighter and darker shades of the one colour (in the case of Sherbet) or of two colours (for Crush) almost as though they are frosted. ‘Sherbet’ shades are fizzy and bright and as mouth-watering as the name suggests. ‘Crush’ hues are rich and deep and embrace the trend for colours that ‘pop’. Asked about the inspiration behind the


new range, Richard Besant, director, Powdertech Corby explained: “We have


developed powder ranges that add more than just colour and protection to metal, over a number of years, starting with our Wood Finish Collection in 2000. Our Collections enable designers to bring metal to life in new and exciting ways for their


architectural exterior and interior creations.” Powdertech will be exhibiting at London
