Ask Ross: When should I specify an Omni Powder Coat finish?

 

Omni powder coat finish collection for Clopay sectional and Cornell and Cookson rolling doors.

You've checked off the major items on the list for the commercial garage doors in your design project, such as the size, clearance, functionality, and building code compliance. Now, it's time to think about how your doors will look. Achieving a consistent aesthetic between rolling and sectional doors on an architectural project can be challenging. This is where the Omni Powder Coat finish comes into play. 

 

Ross Baran, Architect Design Services (ADS) representative, discusses when and why you should consider specifying this option. 

Question: In what situation is it appropriate to select the Omni Powder Coat finish?

Answer: When you’re coordinating coiling and sectional doors, focus on matching design elements such as panel profile, material composition, and color palette. This approach will create a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing appearance, ensuring that both door types complement each other. 

With the Omni Powder Coat finish, you can coordinate the color of Clopay® sectional doors and Cornell and Cookson coiling steel products on the exterior envelope. Specifying this option allows for a seamless and uniform look, making color matching effortless and precise.

Question: What colors are available in the Omni Powder Coat collection? 

Answer: The Omni Powder Coat finish features the majority of Clopay’s standard color options, ideally suited for commercial applications. The flawless factory-applied finish instantly enhances the aesthetic appeal of both steel and aluminum doors. Customers can choose from Commercial Tan, Commercial Gray, Charcoal, Standard White, Chocolate Brown, and Black.
