What Colors Improve Home Value?

admin • May 10, 2018

Colorful paint on home walls Colors are a major part of how we express ourselves through our homes. However, there seems to be a prevailing notion that neutral colors are needed to increase a home’s value. This isn’t necessarily the case, though. The reality is that people like homes where colors mesh and there is added personality, rather than a blank neutral tone. Home powder coating is an excellent opportunity to add splashes of color throughout your home. Here is some advice on colors that help improve home value…

Front Doors

Front doors are one of the best ways to make an investment to your curb appeal, due to their relatively low investment and high ROI. For front doors, bright colors can have a great impact on home value, because they cause your home to stand out. One thing that you want to make sure is that your front door contrasts, but doesn’t clash with the rest of your home’s exterior. Studies have shown that navy blue and charcoal front doors, on average, have the most positive effect on home values.

Dining Rooms

Dining rooms are where families and friends come together to share food and conversation. As such, it’s important that the colors in dining rooms aren’t too drab, but also so that they don’t overtake the energy in the room. Again, navy blue and pale blue were heavy hitters, and could potentially raise a home’s value by nearly $2,000 on average.

Living Rooms

Light browns tended to have the best effect on living rooms, and could increase a home’s value by more than $1,800 on average. Surprisingly, living rooms are one of the few places where shades of blue had a negative impact on home value, especially light blue colors, which could potentially lower a home’s value by around $800.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms have a major impact on home value. People like to be comfortable in such a vulnerable place. Periwinkle and light blue were heavy hitters, in terms of bathroom’s effect on home value. The biggest thing to note, though, is that white bathrooms were viewed very negatively, and could lower a home’s value by more than $4,000!

Powder Coating for the Medical Field (AS9001)

By Admin • February 3, 2026

TL;DR — Powder Coating for the Medical Field (AS9001) Medical-grade powder coating prioritizes cleanability, chemical resistance, durability, and documented quality suitable for hospitals and device makers. Buyers often expect AS9001-style rigor with ISO-style documentation, including travelers, lot traceability, cure logs, inspections, and retained panels. Proper prep drives longevity: degreasing, targeted media blasting, conversion coating, and outgassing for castings, plus precise masking of functional interfaces. Cure must be verified at part temperature with time-at-temp logs, calibrated film-build checks, and controlled color and gloss against masters. Validation uses adhesion, impact, bend, chemical rubs with alcohols and quats, corrosion testing when needed, and cleanability trials that mirror real SOPs. Common applications include carts, IV stands, rails, cabinets, monitor arms, housings, and bed components, with neutral, low-glare textures for easy wipe downs. Cost reflects geometry, masking, pretreatment, custom colors or antimicrobials, documentation level, and batching strategy. Use a Utah finisher that shows sample travelers, retained panels, and oven mapping, and can scale from prototype to production while maintaining consistency. Service coverage spans Salt Lake County, Utah County, Davis County, Weber County, and Cache County with pickup and delivery by arrangement. Need help setting specs or validation?

Why powder coating for aerospace under ISO/AS9100 matters

By Admin • January 27, 2026

TL;DR — Powder Coating for Aerospace (ISO/AS9100) Powder coating provides durable, lightweight, low-VOC protection for aerospace interiors, avionics housings, and ground-support equipment. ISO/AS9100 adds aviation-grade controls: documented travelers, first article inspection, calibrated gauges, cure logs, and full traceability. Performance depends on disciplined prep: precision cleaning, media blasting, conversion coating, outgassing, masking, and purpose-built racking with solid grounding. Cure is validated with thermocouples on representative mass to hit time-at-temperature. Film build is held within spec and Faraday areas are engineered up front. Release testing covers thickness, adhesion, impact, bend, gloss, color delta, humidity or salt fog, and specified chemical rubs. Use powder for consistent appearance and abrasion resistance in cabins and on the ramp. Choose alternatives like anodize, conversion coat, ceramic, or vacuum coating when ultra-thin or high-temp films are required. Cost drivers: part size and complexity, masking, pretreatment stack, finish tier, special tests, and documentation packages. Buyer checklist: drawings with mask and film-build zones, color and gloss targets, required tests, documentation needs, sample panels or pilot build, and packaging specs.
