Clopay® Corporation, a leader in closure products for commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and retail applications, introduces Two New Finish Upgrades that provide a protective top layer for rolling security doors, to help prevent finish deterioration and increase the curtain’s protection against a corrosive environment. Both Galvanex® Ultra™ and SpectraShield® Ultra™ Powder Coat Finish aid in keeping a protective closure looking like the day it was installed, despite a high cycle volume. This product will be available in Clopay® Corporation’s Cornell and Cookson brands.  

 As polyester-based, textured, and wear-resistant clear coat finishes, Galvanex® Ultra™ and SpectraShield® Ultra™ provide increased resistance to corrosion and improved durability against deteriorations and marring of the curtain, during regular use.  

“The number of times a rolling door opens and closes not only affects the mechanics of the closure system,” said Nicole Vivalda, Senior Product Manager, Clopay® Corporation. “Frequent cycling of the door also creates significant wear and tear on the finish. Without a protective top coating, the closure product is susceptible to environmental elements and scratching, decreasing the aesthetic longevity of the door.”  

Improving Long-Lasting Aesthetics  

Galvanex® Ultra™ is an upgraded version of the company’s GalvaNex™ Finish, an exclusive, dual coat finish applied to steel curtains, available in gray, tan, white, or brown. SpectraShield® Ultra™ is an upgrade of SpectraShield®—an environmentally friendly, powder coat finish for steel or aluminum—available in more than 180 RAL colors, as well as customized hues specified to match a facility’s unique style. These long wearing, upgraded Ultra finishes also are standard top coats for the company’s ImageMatch™ printed graphics.  

Engineered to be aesthetically pleasing for years to come, the new finishes feature a 5-year warranty against fading, cracking, blistering, flaking or peeling, as well as a 2-year or 50,000 cycles warranty (whichever comes first) against normal abrasion and scratching.
