Choosing the right Colour

Altus Window Systems offer a collection of inspiring colours, created especially for powder coating aluminium joinery. 

Our colours reflect modern design trends and the range provides the customer flexibility to complement or enhance the individual style of the home or commercial premises. Your local fabricator will be able to provide a colour booklet, colour card or access to swatch finish colours. 

We partner with both leading powder (coat) suppliers in New Zealand; Dulux and Akzo Nobel (Interpon), both are leading global powder suppliers with years of experience. Altus offer a key range of 36 colours, plus hundreds more on request, including a range of brights for that stunning Stellar Doors entrance piece.

Powder finishes come in matte, gloss, flat, pearlescent and textured options. This means that whatever look you’re after, our range of colours can easily complement any of your chosen cladding, roof & guttering colours.

Dulux Charisma™ Black Ace (90C9116F)

The Charisma™ flat matt range features contemporary, solid colours in a flat matt finish for a subtle and sophisticated look. The range is ideal for residential and commercial buildings in environments greater than 10m from the high tide mark and mild to severe exterior conditions.

Whilst this colour range is fantastic, feedback from customers has alerted us to the fact that joinery finished in Black Ace does need to be handled with care and maintained as per Dulux instructions. Namely, protective wrapping should be kept in place right up until installation followed by a regular six-monthly cleaning programme. Sheltered areas can have a higher risk of coating degradation as wind-blown salt and other debris or pollutants may adhere to the surface and not wash away when it rains. These areas may require more frequent cleaning.

Please bear this in mind when choosing the colours for your next project.
