Gate Finishes

Every aluminium gate we manufacture is finished in-house to an architectural standard — cleaned, treated, coated and cured on our own automated line for a finish built to last in the Irish climate.

Choose from five standard RAL colours supplied at no additional cost, over one hundred non-standard RAL shades, ten standard woodgrain finishes, and a fully bespoke colour-matching service. However you specify it, the result is engineered for long-term durability, colour stability and low maintenance.

The Finishing Process

Three specialist stages give every profile its performance and its appearance.

Stage 01

Pre-Treatment

Every profile passes through a controlled 7-stage pre-treatment system, submerged in a sequence of tanks that clean, degrease, etch and polymer-seal the surface — inside and out, not just the visible faces.

This preparation enhances corrosion resistance, improves coating adhesion, and provides the correct foundation for both powder coating and woodgrain sublimation.

Stage 02

Powder Coating

Coating is applied on a fully automated line using Interpon D2525 architectural-grade powder — developed to withstand harsh environments and deliver long-term durability in exposed locations.

Our standard finish is Structura, a textured matt coating that combines durability with a refined architectural look and improved impact resistance. Profiles then pass through a 25-metre oven at approximately 200°C for around 20 minutes to fully flow, bond and harden the coating.

Stage 03

Woodgrain Sublimation

A specialist process creates realistic wood-grain finishes on coated aluminium. A printed film carrying the chosen grain is wrapped around a powder-coated profile, and a vacuum process draws it into full contact with the surface.

Heated in a controlled oven, the inks convert to a gas and penetrate the coating layer. As it cools, the pattern becomes permanently embedded — a durable, high-definition timber look with all the strength and low maintenance of aluminium.

Standard RAL Colours

Our standard finish, Structura, is a textured matt coating with a low sheen of approximately 5%. Five standard RAL Classic colours are supplied at no additional cost.

Colours shown are indicative only — please enquire for final order samples.

Non-Standard Woodgrains

Beyond the ten standard finishes, additional woodgrain patterns can be sourced to match a specific timber or design requirement. Enquire for current availability and lead times.

Coastal Areas

Gates in coastal zones face higher salt and moisture levels. For these environments we recommend our enhanced pre-treatment with the Interpon D2525 architectural coating, developed to resist corrosion in exposed locations. Ask our team about the right specification for your site.

Bespoke Colour Service

Need an exact match to existing joinery, a brand colour, or a specific RAL or BS shade? Our bespoke colour service can match virtually any colour to your requirement. Provide a sample or reference and we’ll match it.

Design Your Modern Gate

Every Modern gate is made to order in aluminium. Our team will visit your property, assess your entrance and tailor a gate to suit the style of your home or business.
