AND SURFACES

Buildings are defined by form and design. Often they are the product ofan architects inspirational vision. At Hunter Douglas our mission is tohelp designers realise that vision, by providing them with a palette ofcolours, materials and surface finishes that will inspire their creativity.

The LUXACOTE® system...
more than a coating!

Test panels of the LUXACOTE® system have
proved that after 5 years in Florida, no colour
or gloss differences worth mentioning haveoccurred, and that the exposed materials lookhearly as good as the original new test panel.
These results qualify for the highest category
when tested in accordance with the EN 1396
standard.
Similar characteristics can only be matched by
the better of the PVDF coating-systems, with atleast 75% Kynar 500 or equivalent. All othercoating-systems, which were tested th is way in
Florida*, failed within 1, 2, or, the very strong
ones, after just 3 years, with complete colour
fading and chalking, often culminating in a fully
Cracked Surface and with h0 gloss remaining.

lt is known that aluminium, in spite of its good properties, can corrode in several ways. Therefore thequality of the aluminium plays a decisive role in the
pre-treatment, the type of coating and the coatingprocess, Besides this, building designs sometimes
have an adverse effect on the development of corrosion(e.g.crevice and contact corrosion). Even more importantis the environment in which the material will be used.
Aluminium will, for example, perform perfectly in aclean area where rain continuously removes corrosive
substances from the surfaces. But, when applied in anindustrial and polluted area under an overhang on the
coast, even aluminium could corrode.

From 1981 Hunter Douglas has produced over 600 million m2 with the
LUXACOTE® system. Despite the large range of colours, including metallic
finishes,Hunter Douglas has not received a recorded failure of the coating
system due to fading, chalking or peeling.
First used, in 1981, on aluminium strip for window shutters, it soon became
clear that many more applications were suitable for this coating system.
Hunter Douglas now uses LUXACOTE® as the preferred system for all of theirexterior products. These include Facade Cladding (QuadroClad, Sandwich walland Single Skin wall cladding systems), Sun Louvers, Exterior Ceilings andSoffits, Outside Blinds and Shutters.

The Superior Qualities Of
The LUXACOTE® system
Although all kinds of accelerated erosion-tests can be executedin a laboratory, they all suffer from deficiency; the correlation toreality is one not reliable, and it needs a proven correlation to
be able to make a reliable interpretation.
For this reason, many years have been spent searching for the natural
circumstances that is representative of natural weathering. Florida, USA, isthe location where materials are tested and set out at an angle of 45° facing
to the south. Relative to other locations in the world, the circumstances here
provide for a very tough testing environment.

When compared to other metal-coatings, the
LUXACOTE® system has a superior resistanceagainst scratches. The slightly textured topcoat
surface hides eventual minor damages effectively.
During installation, this characteristic is
especially important.

LUXACOTE® Colour
options
Due to the composition, the LUXACOTE®
system can be produced in plain and vivid
exciting colours together with a full range ofmetallic colours. The standard range of colours
is supplemented by a service to achieve a colour
match to any client chosen colour- subject toquantity and technical feasibility.

Since Hunter Douglas does not always know where thematerial will be applied, the use of the right aluminium
substrate is the key to the corrosion performance of theend product. By very carefully testing for many years
we have succeeded in laying down specifications for areliable product that, both for durability and corrosionresistance, can achieve the highest category of the EN
1396 standard. Even in swimming pools where the PH
develops between 4 and 8, the LUXACOTE® system will
perform well.
The highest category for corrosion, within the EN 1396
tested according to ECCA T19, states that, if exposed on
the ECCA-site in Hoek van Holland, corrosion after 1year
should not be more than 1 mm, and after 3 years not
more than 2 mm.
The LUXACOTE® coating system meets this requirement.

Take 5 seconds to imagine a world without
colour. Aluminium can be coated in any (RAL,
BS, NCS) colour. Colours are available indifferent gloss units as well as high gloss andmatt finishes. At Hunter Douglas Architectural
we aim to lead the way in colour trend
development.

This range is tailored to create distinctive buildings, which
attract attention. These innovative dual-tone finishes contain“mica” coating pigments, which reflect their own colouror the basecoat colour. This reflection and refraction oflight causes a colour variation that changes upon viewing
angle and incidence of light which can create a myriad offascinating colours.

Anodising is an electrochemical process thatconverts the metal surface into a decorative,
durable corrosion resistant finish. It is ideallysuited to aluminium and the Hunter Douglas
range of anodised colours are designed toenhance this finish. Available in a number ofcolours, ranging from silver and champagne
to bronze and black, this enduring treatment
improves the strength and aesthetics ofaluminum cladding. It also provides easy
maintenance and long life in any condition.

Amazing Metallic
Hunter Douglas and their partners are at the forefrontof developing a wide range of exciting metallic gloss
finishes. Delivering these stunning finishes encourages
designers to create an amazing visual appearance to any
building’s façade.

Weathering steel

Architects are increasingly turning to zinc forits, maintenance-free long life and adaptability
to various design styles. Hunter Douglas
Architectural have a standard range of natural zinc,preweathered zinc and engraved zinc.
The latest development allows the designers toexperiment with almost any colour on zinc, whilst
still maintaining the structural appearance of thematerial.

Copper was one of the first metals used by man. It
is one of our oldest building materials, with uniqueproperties and characteristics. Copper has earned arespected place in the related fields of architecture andis gaining great popularity in world architecture. The
natural development of copper patina is one of its
unique characteristics.

Stainless steel offers the ideal combination ofhigh strength, excellent corrosion resistanceand a modern, progressive image. Stainlesssteel has a unique aesthetic advantage when
specified on a project as it will remain in
perfect condition throughout the buildings life.

Weathering steel, better known as Corten, is a beautiful
cladding material that naturally rusts over time. Corten
offers superior resistance to atmospheric corrosion
because of its protective layer, which develops andregenerate.

The use of Double Fired glazes is commonly
regarded as the supreme discipline in the fieldof creative façade ceramics. With the doublefiring technique, façade elements of the highest

created by this additional process, can be created.
In addition, the glaze has a particularly brilliant,
