When it comes the choice of the components for an architecture project, it is not enough for the design to be attractive. The strength, durability and reliability of materials are key factors, especially in environments where exposure to weathering and corrosion can compromise the long-term quality of the final result.
At Comenza, we apply the highest quality standards to ensure that our lacquered aluminium profile systems, as well as our French Balcony solution, provide an optimal and long-lasting result. That’s why we hold the Qualicoat certification, an international label that guarantees the strength and stability of our coatings.
But in especially harsh environments, such as coastal or industrial areas, the demands are even higher. In these cases, we have gone a step further with the Seaside specification, which reinforces the aluminium’s protection against corrosion and premature wear.
What sets Qualicoat and Seaside apart from other treatments and how do they ensure that Comenza systems are reliable and durable solutions? We explain it to you!
Qualicoat, quality seal for lacquered aluminium solutions
Not all aluminium coating processes offer the same quality. Qualicoat certification sets the highest standards in the industry to ensure that the coating on aluminium meets criteria for strength, adhesion and aesthetic stability.
To obtain this certification, products must pass strict laboratory tests that validate key aspects such as:
- Weather and corrosion resistance. Protects the aluminium surface against degradation caused by sun, humidity and temperature changes.
- Durability of colour and brightness. Keeps its original aesthetics for years, preventing premature discolouration.
- Adhesion and thickness of the coating. Ensures that the paint is properly fixed without flaking or imperfections.
- Salt spray and humidity testing. Evaluates the tolerance of the material in extreme climate conditions.
As a result of these controls, Qualicoat certification guarantees that lacquered aluminium maintains its performance over time, reducing the need for additional maintenance and ensuring its reliability. At Comenza, we apply this standard to our systems to offer top quality solutions, with strong and durable finishes that meet the demands of the market.
Seaside, additional guarantee for high-exposure environments
In coastal, industrial or high humidity projects, filiform corrosion is one of the biggest challenges faced by metallic materials. For these demanding environments we have incorporated the Seaside specification, designed to provide extra protection against degradation caused by salinity and humidity.
Seaside’s key is an intensive pre-treatment of the aluminium, which minimises the risk of filiform corrosion and improves long-term strength. Its main benefits include:
- Increased resistance in aggressive environments. Prevents premature damage to the lacquer in areas of high humidity and salinity.
- Less maintenance and increased durability. Reduces the need for corrective actions, optimising maintenance costs.
- Structural and aesthetic stability. Maintains its mechanical properties and original finish over time.
Comenza’s systems with Seaside specification have been designed to deliver maximum performance in these demanding environments, ensuring that installations remain safe and in perfect condition for years to come.
Qualicoat and Seaside certifications, durability for Comenza’s lacquered railings
Choosing Comenza systems with Qualicoat certification and Seaside specification means opting for solutions designed to withstand the most demanding challenges. These certifications not only provide technical guarantees, but also have a direct impact on the sustainability, safety and maintenance of any architectural project.
The main advantages of our systems include the following:
- Longer lifetime. Materials designed to maintain performance in harsh conditions.
- Reduced maintenance. Less need for repainting and less risk of premature damage.
- Certified durability. Endorsed by rigorous international testing and quality standards.
- Reliability in extreme conditions. From humid environments to coastal areas with high salinity exposure.
- Regulatory compliance. Every component of our systems complies with the strictest quality and safety requirements.
In projects where longevity and material resistance are key factors, the choice of Qualicoat and Seaside certified products makes the difference in terms of quality and performance. Comenza systems have been designed with the premise of offering high added value solutions, guaranteeing architectural finishes that combine design, functionality and maximum durability.
As we have mentioned throughout this post, the finish of a railing plays a very important role in the final result of a project. For this reason, we have a wide variety of RAL colours to give each project a unique and personal identity. You can check our range of colours in our Glassfit catalogue.
