Top 6 world's best brands recommend matching coatings for doors, windows, and curtain walls.
Metal materials such as aluminum profiles and aluminum plates are used as the core system of glass curtain wall building facades, and their advantages are weatherproof, anti-corrosion, and anti-salt spray. Therefore, safe and reliable high-quality coatings are indispensable as supporting materials for doors, windows, and curtain walls; and the architectural metal materials are integrated to form the door, window, and curtain wall, which takes into account the service life and project cost.
In 2023, we are in a new era of "big revolution", and the construction industry and real estate have entered a new era where "certainty and uncertainty" coexist. "Low growth, low profit, low expectations, low fault tolerance" has become the main tone of development in the new stage, and low energy consumption sets the main tone for the transformation and upgrading of doors, windows, and curtain walls - green, low carbon, environmental protection, renewable, etc. have become architectural coatings and many other The brand of supporting materials is the "only way" for future development.
At present, the upstream and downstream of the industry presents a clear "polarization". The technology R&D and product update iteration speed of TOP enterprises is fast, the added value of the brand is gradually increasing, the application of digital and intelligent technology is more popular, and the scale of leading enterprises is steadily increasing. Based on the "Industry Data Statistical Worksheet" and the "Five Elements" of enterprise evaluation, LIJIANG Glass will bring you the preferred brand recommendation information for related supporting materials and service companies based on the "Industry Data Statistical Worksheet" developed by the "Building Metal Structure Association Aluminum Door, Window and Curtain Wall Branch" for many years.
- Element 1: Product Quality (Brand Value)
In the era of cost, the choice of products should be based on the actual needs of the project, and choose products with high-cost performance. This is the prerequisite for everything, and quality cannot be simply pursued through "high investment". The brand is the core spokesperson to promote the company's market share and reflect the high quality of the product.
- Element 2: Scale and production capacity
Supporting materials are widely used, from engineering to home decoration, from doors, windows, curtain walls to interior decoration, etc. The potential market size is huge, and there are so many companies in the industry that it is impossible to make a simple comparison. Enterprise production and R&D capabilities have become an important "threshold" for brands. Reference indicators include the distribution of production bases, overall production capacity, and personnel and product lines. Medium and large manufacturers with advanced production equipment and teams can completely outperform "small-scale" manufacturers.
- Element 3: Channel Capability (Market Positioning)
There are differences in the regional characteristics of the building and the cultural characteristics of the occupants. At present, the requirements of domestic projects are increasing day by day, and product positioning is based on project characteristics and needs. Channel development has become a very critical link in the market. At the same time, channels also undertake the main link between the enterprise and the upstream and downstream, and are the lifeline of the enterprise's survival.
- Element 4: Intelligent Productivity
The supporting materials of doors, windows, and curtain walls are the main components of the building. It is not necessarily the final component, but it must be the panel, frame, or supporting material that plays a key role. The advanced level of intelligent equipment and digital production determines the market competitiveness of enterprises. Unmanned replacement of intensive labor is an important indicator for improving product technology and performance standards.
- Element 5: Technical service capability (after-sales and product structure)
The serviceability is not only reflected in the supporting facilities and series of the enterprise, but also in the maintenance of production equipment, transportation, feedback speed, and the radiation range of the processing plant, etc. must form a platform service. From the establishment of modern data terminals to the front-end service team, not only can we get a product structure that meets the project requirements, but also realize rapid updates and rapid maintenance.
In the door, window, and curtain wall industry, in addition to focusing on door and window products and curtain wall systems, more attention has been extended to the field of supporting materials. In 2023, in addition to the main materials such as aluminum profiles and aluminum plates that we are concerned about, in fact, small materials such as fluorocarbon coatings and powder coatings also have great knowledge.

Next, LIJIANG Glass makes full use of the "five elements" evaluation system to make detailed brand recommendations for architectural "paints", making the industry more interconnected and improving the brand system of the industrial chain.
The panel material is one of the main constituent elements of the building curtain wall. As a "face project", it has received a high degree of attention, and the appearance rate of aluminum panels is very high. At the same time, as the "skeleton" support of the external maintenance system of the building, the aluminum profile is increasingly becoming the first core material of the door, window, and curtain wall. However, whether it is an aluminum sheet or aluminum profile, any high-quality metal material cannot do without the blessing and empowerment of the first-line "paint" brand.
In the application of doors, windows, and curtain walls, the anti-corrosion, anti-oxidation, etc. of metal materials, as well as the individualized and functional attributes need to be realized through surface coating. The coating process and coating selection have become details that are easy to ignore but cannot be ignored. It is widely used, its usage market is huge, its usage scenarios are many, and its brand and innovation ability are eye-catching.
Driven by the rapid growth of the real estate market and industrial development level, architectural coatings have become the type of coatings with the largest production capacity in some developing countries. In recent years, the growth of the glass curtain wall architectural coatings market has been closely centered on technological innovation, service innovation, and marketing innovation in areas such as building energy conservation, environmental governance, and renovation of old houses.
Using the "5 elements" of the evaluation system, the high-end architectural coating brands preferred by the market in 2023 are presented.

In the architectural coatings industry, there is a huge difference in brands. In the industry, Tiger, AkzoNobel, PPG, Hexion, Koryo, DuPont, and other brands are leaders and leading companies, and the product quality is stable and outstanding. Most of the industry dividends gained by its brand-added value are used for secondary market mining, technology research and development, product innovation, and production line updates. They have built factories in many places and actively expanded service channels.
Although the future development of the architectural coatings industry is gratifying and predictable, the intensity of competition in the industry cannot be ignored. The market volume of hundreds of billions of dollars has made the brand competition in the industry increasingly fierce.
The competition in the architectural coatings market has always been compete for brands, prices, delivery, etc., and the competition is close to fierce. Now entering the era of "low growth", it means that the competition among coating companies will become more severe and enter a more "involved" state.
Especially in the context of the combined impact of many uncertain factors such as demand contraction, supply shock, and expected weakening in the development of the world economy. , or many subdivided industries have entered the trough of the cycle, and there is only one road ahead of the upstream and downstream enterprises of door and window processing: facing difficulties, facing challenges, seizing the opportunity, and seizing the track.
Although the supporting materials are small and miscellaneous, they play an important role, and because they are easily overlooked, they need to be paid special attention to. In the past, although the market ignored these small links and only saw the overall project effect every small link has great knowledge.
