Keystone Koating is your local supplier for quality powder coating services for the architectural industry. Our facility is equipped to process orders of significant volume with fast production times.

AAMA 2605 Powder Coating for Architecture

We have met all required testing parameters to receive a listing in the AAMA Verified Component List (VCL) and an American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) 2605 Verified Product Certificate.

In addition, we use coatings that conform to the current American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) 2605 standards and deliver results that meet your stringent specifications. AAMA 2605 standards require architectural powder coatings that offer superior performance and protection. Our options provide the enhanced resistance to ozone, moisture, weather and ultraviolet (UV) radiation necessary to earn this distinction.

We use powders from the industry’s leading manufacturers, including IFS Coatings, Axalta Coating Systems and TCI Powder Coatings, with a variety of compositions, textures and colors available to meet your needs.

What Are the Key Features of Architectural Coatings?

The key features of architectural coatings provide protection and performance across four critical areas:

Weather Resistance: Building exteriors take on rain, wind, humidity and temperature swings throughout their service life. Repeated wet-dry and freeze-thaw cycles stress standard coatings, which can lead to cracks, blisters and delamination. Architectural powder coatings form a durable, weather-resistant barrier that helps protect facades, window frames and structural components from surface degradation. For fabricators and builders, that means fewer callbacks, lower warranty exposure and products that meet specifications over the building’s service life.

UV Protection: UV radiation breaks down coatings and causes the surface to chalk and lose color. Architectural coatings with strong UV protection resist this process, so a coated component better maintains its gloss and color through years of direct sun exposure. For architects and specifiers, a finish that fades or chalks visibly can impact the fabricator who supplied it and can lead to costly disputes over color compliance.

Corrosion Prevention: Metal components face rust and oxidation risk, especially in coastal or high-humidity climates where salt and moisture accelerate the oxidation process. Architectural powder coatings create a dense, nonporous layer that blocks moisture and corrosive agents from reaching the substrate. The result is architectural durability, with less risk of early replacement that can strain client relationships.

Color Retention: Architectural design depends on color accuracy across a project’s components. Pigment degradation from UV exposure and weathering can cause coatings to drift from their specified hue over time, which can lead to rejected panels and recoating costs. High-performance architectural coatings resist this drift, so the finish retains its original hue well after installation. Consistent color output supports the reliability that brings architects and builders back for repeat work.

Powder coating is an eco-friendly alternative to solvent-based paints and similar coatings. Our powder coating process produces no air pollutants or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). We employ other smart strategies to help limit our impact on the environment, including reclaiming and reusing unused powders and abrasives, using rainwater in our eight-stage pretreatment system, and using energy efficient infrared heating systems to expedite the curing process and reduce our carbon footprint.

Keystone Koating now offers up to a 20-year limited warranty on approved AAMA 2605 projects.

KEYCOAT20 is perfect for architectural metal applications, including curtain wall, exterior cladding, panels, windows, doors and extrusions.

AAMA 2604 and 2605 are among the highest set of standards for coated aluminum extrusions and panels. Keystone Koating meets specifications, performance requirements and test procedures for powder coating of building components.
