Why duplex powder coating is the more sustainable choice
More and more people are becoming aware of the importance of sustainability and environmentally friendly products. These factors are also playing an increasingly important role in the design of their own homes. Fences, gates, and railings are not only functional, but also an important design element that, ideally, can be enjoyed for a lifetime. But when it comes to choosing a suitable coating for the fence system – which coating is the most environmentally friendly? In this guide, we will show you why duplex powder coating is the more sustainable choice.
Why is sustainability important for fences?
Metal fence elements are durable products that remain outdoors for decades and are mercilessly exposed to the elements. Therefore, it is all the more important to ensure environmentally friendly manufacturing and coating. A sustainable coating not only protects the environment but also ensures a longer lifespan of the fence and reliably protects it from corrosion.
What is duplex powder coating?
At ELEO, we have always relied on duplex powder coating to enhance our fences and railings and significantly increase their service life. Roughly speaking, powder coating – which is preceded by cathodic dip painting – involves electrostatically applying a dry color powder to the metal and then baking it at high temperatures. The duplex process is characterized by a particularly high layer thickness and excellent adhesion. This results in excellent corrosion protection and a long coating lifespan.

These are the advantages of powder coating using the duplex process
- Environmentally friendly: Unlike liquid coatings, powder coating does not require solvents. This means the air is not polluted and less waste is produced.
- Durable: The thick and even layer provides excellent protection against corrosion, UV radiation, and scratches.
- Diverse design options: We offer powder coating in various colors from the RAL color palette – for example, anthracite, black, or moss green.
- Cost-effective: Due to their long service life and low maintenance requirements, powder-coated fences are more cost-effective in the long run.
Why is the duplex process so special?
The double coating in the duplex process significantly increases corrosion protection. The first layer acts as an adhesion promoter and ensures optimal adhesion of the second layer. The second layer, in turn, provides the actual corrosion protection.

How long does a powder coating last?
The question of the durability of a powder coating cannot be answered in general terms. In moderate climatic conditions, the service life can easily be 30 years or more. In more aggressive environments, such as coastal areas or industrial areas, the service life is shorter; but even here, a well-applied powder coating using the duplex system offers at least 20 years of protection.
Powder coating: always a good choice for the environment and your home
Powder coating using the duplex process is an environmentally friendly and durable coating for fences, gates, and railings. Due to its high layer thickness and excellent adhesion, it offers optimal protection against corrosion and weathering. Opt for a sustainable solution and rely on powder-coated products!
