Yes, we powder-coated our metalwork with an industry leading ‘Fine Texture’ paint, providing excellent wear, corrosion and weather resistance.
We also use Phenolic Birch Plywood for our panelling. This ply is sandwiched between two layers of resin, providing excellent resistive qualities in line with the powder-coating.
We want our units to last and look good for as long as possible. That’s why we’ve opted for stainless steel components and stainless steel fixings wherever possible.
The Explorer kit comes in a standard black and anthracite colourway, although you do have the option to choose your own custom RAL colour for an additional fee.
The frame will still be supplied in black, but feel free to colour the drawers and bed frame in any colour you want.
Other customisations may be possible, but reviewed on an order-by-order basis. Do get in touch if you have any questions or ideas.
