Ipswich-based Bradleys Metal Finishers has been awarded a Qualicoat licence for aluminium coating, making it the only company in the UK to hold both that and the Qualisteelcoat equivalent for steel coating.
The awarding of a licence to Bradleys Metal Finishers now brings the total number of Qualicoat licensed applicators in the UK & Ireland to 17.
Bradleys, a family run business with over fifty years experience in professional coatings in a range of applications.
“As the number of specifications for Qualicoat architectural powder coating continues to rise, coming from Architects and Contractors alike, it is now quite common to see ‘Qualicoat approved’ in façade specifications,” said Angus Mackie Qualicoat UK & Ireland Chair.
“The benefit for Bradleys is that they can now also take on both Qualicoat & Qualisteelcoat specifications which require coatings on both steel and aluminium, this can be achieved using the same batches of powder ensuring colour matching.
“Bradleys are very much integrated within the architectural finishing market working with Architects Contractors and Fabricators. They find their niche on the larger, high value, high end contracts where delivery of a consistent high quality finish and attention to detail is paramount. From the start Bradleys have been known for taking on the larger more challenging contracts and with the awarding of a Qualicoat licence this can now be extend further into the aluminium market in areas such as semi fabricated balconies and large cladding projects featuring Bradleys special finishes.”
