Aluminum alloy doors and windows surface treatment process analysis
The last issue of our detailed understanding of the aluminum alloy doors and windows of the three surface treatment processes: wood grain thermal transfer, spray color and fluorocarbon color, then this time we will talk about the difference between the three processes, and the choice of doors and windows spray color it!

---3D Performance Comparison Matrix

Initial Investment Cost | Medium (CNY 80-120/m²) | Low (CNY 30-60/m²) | High (CNY 150-300/m²) |
Weather Resistance Period | 8-12 years | 5-8 years | 25+ years |
Aesthetic Variety | Wood grain series | Standard color cards | Metallic/Solid colors |
Maintenance Cost | Recoating every 5 years | Touch-up every 3 years | Minimal maintenance required |
Environmental Friendliness | ★★★★☆ | ★★★☆☆ | ★★★★☆ |
Applicable Scenarios | Indoor/Semi-outdoor | General construction | Extreme environments |

---Selection Guide: Accurately Matching Renovation Needs
1. Limited budget? Choose spraying!
Nano-modified powder coating
Saving: 70% lower cost than fluorocarbon, suitable for short-term projects.
2. Pursuing natural style? Wood grain transfer!
Upgrade program: fluorocarbon primer + wood grain top coat
3. Landmark building? Must use fluorocarbon!
Case: PVDF fluorocarbon coating for curtain wall of Shanghai Center Building.
4. Future trend: composite process
Technical highlights: digitally printed wood grain + fluorocarbon protection, customized color + ultra-long durability

Industry data show that during 2022-2023, the proportion of fluorocarbon process in the doors and windows market are on the rise, and the penetration rate of fluorocarbon process in ultra-high-rise buildings exceeded 65% in 2023 (source: Global Curtain Wall Technology Report), the application of woodgrain transfer printing in projects such as B&B villas is growing, and 91% satisfaction with woodgrain transfer printing home furnishings (consumer research data).Future trends show that the composite process (e.g. fluorocarbon base + transfer surface) will become the direction of technological breakthroughs

By understanding the essential characteristics of different processes, consumers can choose the most suitable surface treatment solution according to the actual use environment, budgetary cost and aesthetic demand, and realize the optimal balance between functionality and decoration.
