Standards for Powderline / Woodlook Quality & Finish Condition.
Powderline / Woodlook produce a commercial finish for architectural aluminium goods to Australian Standard AS 3715-2002 & in conjunction with the Powderline Surface finishing Booklet. (Available on Powerline’s Website)

In accordance with this standard and in reference to appearance:
1. Appearance of finish is as significant as the surfaces of powder coated aluminium product supplied.
2. Finish shall be generally of uniform appearance.
3. Colour and texture are to be essentially free of visual defects such as blisters, inclusions & surface imperfections.
4. Appearance shall be viewed from a minimum distance of one (1) metre.
5. Consideration also needs to be given for further distance to be allowed for commensurate with the use of the product and its in-situ viewing distance.
6. Powder coating as a process cannot be guaranteed to be defect free due to Powder coating being a 1 off application with limited ability to rework the finish. This needs to be considered in conjunction with the above 1) to 5) notes when evaluating appearance.
7. Castings, Re-coated, Anodized, Pretreated Surface and Metal Substrate other than Aluminum have no warranty to adhesion, quality or finish. The coating or finish is not guaranteed to make the goods fit for purpose. Goods are coated with all care, however, at no liability to Powderline / Woodlook as stated.
