Understanding Enameling

Baked Enamel Architectural Metal Finishing

At Certified Enameling, Inc., we are experts on a wide variety of architectural metal finishing products and services, each one of which is ideally suited to a certain application. Some are better for marine finishes, others for industrial settings, and others are prepared to meet military specifications. For architectural features that will primarily or exclusively be used in an indoor setting, we often recommend that our customers choose Kynar metal finishing or Cenamelizing even though they initially think that they need a baked enamel finish.

Why You Should Use Kynar Coating or Cenamelizing Instead of Baked Enamel Coating

Baked enamel loses out in comparison to PVDF coatings when it comes to durability, corrosion resistancce and overall strength. For this reason, we do not recommend baked enamel coatings. This type of coating does not perform as well in respect to color retention and fading, though it will normally perform adequately for applications like automotive parts, lighting, and residential projects. Kynar Coating and Cenamelize are ideal for:

  • Column covers
  • Ceiling trim
  • Decking
  • Fans
  • Gratings
  • Machinery
  • Perforated panels
  • Railings
  • Structural steel
  • Tanks
  • Vents
  • Wall panels

​Baked enamel is more affordable than PVDF coatings, so it can seem like an attractive choice for your project. However, based on 60 years of experience, we can tell you that Kynar and Cenamelize are far superior. To learn more about baked enamel, Kynar 500, Cenamelize, or any other architectural metal finishing process, call the experts at Certified Enameling.

OUR PROJECTS EXAMPLES OF OUR RECENT WORK

    I never write letters, but today I felt compelled. Recently, I have been working on the project from hell. Nothing went right. The land had issues, the city had issues, the client couldn't make up their mind on anything, my staff was stretched thin, we were over budget, etc... I can honestly say that the ONLY thing that met and exceeded expectations was the part of the work that was done by Certified Enameling. Your staff was great, the job was done earlier than I expected, and the cost was to the penny what you quoted. Now if we can just get everybody else on par with you guys, life will be good. Thanks Glenn and Adrian. You guys are excellent!

    So far the initial reactions from our client and designer are all good! Thanks for all of your efforts in helping us make this a successful project; I know it has been an effort on everyone’s part. Thank goodness we assembled a good team of vendors to assist us with this project. So we only have a few more panels to put through the process so we will bear down a little longer.

    I want to take a moment to truly thank Glenn, Adrian, Scott and all the staff at Certified Enameling. I've been in the property development business for 30 years and I don't think I can ever remember dealing with a company that gets the job done like these guys do. The quality in which they deliver their service is truly appreciated. When they say the job is gonna be done in 2 days, they mean it, consistently. If all of my vendors provided products and services like the guys at Certified, I would never miss a deadline. I can't thank them enough!

    Hi Glenn, and the entire team at Certified Enameling. This week marks the completion of our 4,000 panel manufacturing run for this high profile project. It’s been a hectic 3 months to say the least. I just want to compliment the manner in which Certified Enameling stepped up to the plate, and did whatever was required to keep CPS, and ultimately our customer on schedule for this project. You went above and beyond the call of duty, and we sincerely appreciate your efforts. I am confident that no other firm, or team of firms in Southern California could have accomplished what we just accomplished in such a short time frame. Thank you for being such a strong business partner, and helping CPS achieve our goals.

    I've been wondering for years why when I get a metal finishing job done with another company it takes so much longer than with Certified Enameling? I'm talking double to triple the amount of time. I don't know if it's their process, their staff or their experience. The funny thing is that their work product is equal to, if not downright superior to the competition. Recently I decided, I really don't care how they do it, I'm just not going anywhere else anymore. You guys define expertise in every sense of the word and have earned my business for life. One less thing to worry about. Thanks Certified Enameling.
