Benefits of pre-finished metal
Pre-finished metal can provide many benefits over post painted metals.
Pre-finished metals offer design flexibility and value in use, combining the strength and longevity of the metal substrate with the aesthetics and functionality of the coating. Firsteel takes sheet metal substrates in coil form and applies a paint or film finish in a continuous process.
The customer is supplied with finished coils or blanks for further processing into a wide range of goods and components. The pre-finished metal can be pressed, roll-formed, drawn or notched without affecting the performance or finish of the product.
