7. Aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy skirting board


This skirting board combines the advantages of magnesium and silicon, with high strength, corrosion resistance, and strong anti-oxidation performance, so it is usually used in the field of multi-functional decoration.


8. Recycled aluminum alloy skirting board


Recycled aluminum alloy skirting board is made of recycled aluminum alloy, which also meets environmental protection requirements, but its performance is lower than that of original aluminum alloy skirting board, so it is only suitable for some economical interior decoration projects.


Surface technology of aluminum alloy skirting board


To ensure the consistency of the interior decoration appearance, different decorative materials are usually matched with similar colors, while aluminum alloy skirtings use different surface treatment processes to create different colors and textured finishes to suit different interior styles.


1. Spraying process


The spraying process is the most common way to create a granular feel on the surface of the skirting, which can achieve a variety of colors and textures, such as matte, glossy, sand surface, etc.


The characteristics of this process are a smooth surface, comfortable touch, and strong anti-corrosion and moisture-proof performance.


2.Anodizing process


Anodizing is an electrochemical treatment method that aims to form a dense oxide film on the aluminum surface to enhance its corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and decorative properties.


The surface hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the skirting board after anodizing are improved, and the surface can present a natural metal texture.


3. Electrophoretic painting process


The skirting board using an electrophoretic painting process has a strong overall texture, uniform paint film, and delicate and smooth feel, suitable for modern decoration styles with high requirements for surface quality.


4. Wire drawing process


The baseboards made by wire drawing process have stronger anti-fingerprint ability and are easier to clean. The surface generally presents a metal wire drawing effect and has a strong decorative effect.


5. Wood grain transfer technology


The main features of wood grain transfer skirting are natural color, fine texture, and appearance similar to real wood texture. Products made with this technology have good waterproof and anti-corrosion properties.


6. Polishing


The polished skirting surface has a high-gloss metal effect, but its scratch resistance is poor.


7. Powder coating process


Powder-coated skirting boards usually have a thicker coating, making them more resistant to wear and corrosion.


8. Titanium plating process


The titanium plating process can make the skirting extremely decorative. Usually, in a vacuum environment, a titanium coating is formed on the surface by electroplating or chemical deposition.


Installation method of aluminum alloy skirting board


Depending on the usage scenario and project requirements, aluminum alloy skirting boards can be installed in the following ways.
