• Coating windows and doors is not just an aesthetic choice; it also helps protect surfaces and ensure their durability.
• Materica For Windows combines over 40 years of experience in finishes with new technologies, including an innovative robotic water-based coating system.
• Customization, craftsmanship, and corrosion protection enable the development of tailor-made solutions for every architectural project.

In contemporary architecture, windows and doors are no longer merely functional elements but components that contribute to a building’s aesthetic identity. Colors, textures, and finishes become an integral part of the design, enhancing the surfaces and creating a dialogue with the surrounding materials.

It is within this context that Materica For Windows operates—the division through which Materica brings over 40 years of experience in surface finishing to the world of windows and doors.

Window and Door Coating: Much More Than Just a Matter of Color

The choice of finish for a window or door is not solely about the aesthetic result. A high-quality coating must ensure uniformity, enhance the material, and help protect the surface over time. Every project has different requirements, depending on the material, geometry, installation environment, and desired effect.

Drawing on its expertise in decorative finishes, Materica develops custom finishes—ranging from matte surfaces to textured effects, as well as shades reminiscent of burnished brass, bronze, and Corten steel. These solutions allow architects and designers to treat windows and doors as true design elements without compromising technical performance.

Materica’s New Robotic Painting System

Technological innovation is central to the development of Materica For Windows. Alongside its time-honored craftsmanship, Materica has introduced a new robotic water-based painting system capable of ensuring precision, uniformity, and repeatability even in the most complex processes.

This technology reduces thermal stress and offers advantages in the fabrication of thermal-break windows and doors, minimizing the need for masking and allowing for greater aesthetic continuity among components.

The system also facilitates localized touch-ups, improving the flexibility of the production process. Robotic precision thus complements the expertise of Materica’s artisans, who continue to play a fundamental role in selecting finishes and overseeing the final result.

Corrosion Protection: The Importance of ISO 12944

An exterior window or door must maintain its properties even when exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Moisture, weather, and salt can affect the durability of metal surfaces, making it essential to choose an appropriate protective coating system.

Materica offers its expertise in corrosion protection, developing coating systems in accordance with the criteria of UNI EN ISO 12944, the standard for the protection of steel structures using coating systems.

Solutions are evaluated based on the material, exposure conditions, and specific project requirements, even in particularly aggressive environments, such as marine settings.

The goal is to combine aesthetic appeal with performance, developing surfaces designed to retain their characteristics over time.

Materica For Windows: Craftsmanship and Technology at the Service of Design

Behind every Materica finish lies a wealth of expertise built up over more than four decades of research, experimentation, and artisanal craftsmanship. Our knowledge of materials, sensitivity to textures, and attention to detail allow us to interpret diverse requests, developing solutions that combine aesthetics and functionality.

The new robotic system represents an evolution of this journey, expanding production possibilities without compromising the value of human expertise. With Materica For Windows, every window and door can become an integral part of the architecture, through custom finishes, advanced technologies, and a special focus on quality.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Window and Door Finishing

What are the advantages of robotic painting?

It allows for greater precision, uniformity, and repeatability in the application of finishes, improving control over the production process.

Is it possible to customize the finish of a window or door?

Yes. Materica develops custom finishes in terms of color, texture, and aesthetic effect, taking into account the technical characteristics of the substrate.

What is the difference between powder coating and water-based coating?

Powder coating uses products that are applied and then cured through heat treatment. Water-based coating uses liquid formulations and, in Materica’s robotic system, involves treatment at lower temperatures.

Are Materica finishes suitable for marine environments?

Materica develops protective coating systems that account for particularly aggressive environments. The most suitable solution is determined based on the material and exposure conditions.
