What is the difference between painted and powder-coated lockers?

Powder coating is a dry finishing process where electrically charged powder is applied to the metal and then baked — producing a thicker, more durable finish than liquid paint. Powder-coated lockers resist chips, scratches, and corrosion better than liquid-painted lockers and are far more resistant to fading. Nearly all commercial-grade office lockers use powder coating rather than liquid paint. If you see a locker described simply as 'painted,' verify whether it's powder-coated — cheaper import lockers sometimes use thin liquid paint that chips easily. Powder coat is the right choice for commercial durability. FindOfficeFurniture.com stocks powder-coated commercial locker banks — call 888-719-4960.
