Architectural powder coating demands precision. When a project specifies a colour, every component that leaves our facility needs to match — balustrades, flashings, gates, signage frames, and window hardware all need to work together visually. That's the standard we work to at Coating Lab.
We partner with architects, specifiers, fabricators, and builders throughout Auckland to deliver powder coating that meets project specifications, on time and to a consistent standard.
What We Coat for Architectural Projects
- Balustrades and handrails — glass balustrade frames, stainless and aluminium systems
- Architectural flashings — roof flashings, window flashings, parapet cappings, and more
- Window and door frames — aluminium systems requiring custom colours
- Commercial signage — powder coated frames, letters, and fascia elements
- Gates and fencing — architectural gates and privacy screen panels
- Louvre systems — privacy louvres and ventilation panels
- Structural steelwork — exposed structural elements requiring a decorative finish
- Street furniture — benches, bike stands, planters, and public space metalwork
Balustrades & Handrails
Balustrade systems are one of the most visible architectural elements on a building, and their colour and finish consistency matters. We coat aluminium and steel balustrade components including posts, top rails, base plates, and frame channels — ensuring consistent coverage on every piece.

Architectural Flashings
Powder coating flashings allows architects and builders to specify any colour beyond the standard Colorsteel range — matching roof, fascia, and cladding colours precisely. We coat a full range of flashing profiles, and can work with fabricated or flat sheet that we fold in-house.
- Roof flashings
- Window flashings
- Parapet cappings
- Barge flashings
- Ridge cappings
- Colorsteel flashings
See our custom flashings service for the full range of flashing profiles we produce and coat.
Architectural Sheet Metal & Fabrication
Beyond coating, our workshop folds and fabricates the metalwork itself. When you specify a bespoke profile, trim, or feature that isn't available off the shelf, our sheet-metal team can fold and fabricate it to suit your drawings — then finish it in the specified colour, so each component arrives ready to install. One team and one point of contact, from flat sheet through to a coated, project-matched result.
We work in Colorsteel, aluminium, and other architectural sheet, using press-brake folding for crisp, repeatable profiles across a run. Where a project calls for sandblasting, wet spray, or zinc arc spray, these can be arranged as required.
- Architectural metalwork & fabrication — custom brackets, panels, and feature components made to your drawings
- Metal cladding & trims — folded cladding sheet with corner and junction trims to match the facade
- Custom flashings — bespoke flashing profiles folded to suit the specified detail
- Aluminium flashings — a durable option for coastal and exposed architectural sites
Made to Suit Your Specification
We can fold flashings and cladding trims to suit the weathertight details in your drawings — profiles made to match the specified detail, rather than a certification we hold. We work in genuine Colorsteel prefinished steel and aluminium, and our powder coating lets you match any colour consistently across flashings, cladding, and feature metalwork on the same project.
For trade & commercial: if you're a builder, fabricator, or main contractor coordinating a larger commercial or architectural package, see our trade & commercial services for account and volume work.
Commercial Signage
Powder coated signage is more durable than painted signage and maintains its colour and finish far longer outdoors. We coat signage frames, fascia panels, letter mounts, and other metal signage components to match brand colour specifications.

Colour Matching for Architects
Our colour range includes the full RAL colour spectrum. We also offer colour matching to Resene colours and other common architectural references. For projects requiring sample approval, we can produce test panels before committing to full production runs.
Contact us early in your project to discuss colour specifications, sampling, and scheduling around your construction programme.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we offer colour matching for architectural powder coating, including RAL colours and Resene references. For large projects, we recommend approving a sample panel before full production to confirm the result meets your specification.
Yes, we regularly coat both aluminium and steel flashings. Powder coating achieves colours beyond the standard Colorsteel range, ensuring colour consistency across your project. We apply appropriate pretreatment for each material to ensure adhesion and durability.
Lead time depends on project quantity, complexity, and colour. Contact us early in your project to discuss scheduling — we're experienced in working around construction timelines. Getting us involved during the specification stage allows us to plan production around your programme.
Yes, we work with architects, specifiers, builders, and fabricators at all project stages. If you're specifying powder coating, we're happy to discuss colour options, coating specifications, and sample production. Contact us to arrange a consultation.
