Finishes
Forming the basis of FSB’s coated hardware are cast and polished aluminium models from the standard range. The surface is electrolytically oxidised and subsequently electrostatically powder coated.

FSB uses a solvent-free lacquering process to produce a colour coating some 80 µm thick. Non-fade factor, surface hardness, and resistance to abrasion are roughly as for anodised aluminium coatings.

FSB is occasionally asked to supply colour coated versions of tubular handles in various types of steel. The danger here, especially with ordinary steel, is that, once the coating has been breached, the metal inside will corrode. FSB specifically draws your attention to this and is compelled to reject all claims to liability from the outset.

Assuming FSB colour coated handles are correctly fixed and properly treated, they will withstand day-to-day use. Surfaces can be damaged if knocked by hard angular items such as rings, keys, or boxes. Such scratch marks do not impair the handle’s functioning, however.
