In our range of aluminium powder coatings, we have three classes of weather durability, all with their own specific aspects and benefits. First things first: how do we test our coatings? The Florida test is a widely popular method for estimating resistance to outdoor elements. The region’s subtropical climate is an ideal high intensity benchmark when it comes to measuring humidity, heat, rain, and UV resistance. If the profiles can withstand the Florida climate, you are sure of a quality weatherproof solution. We look for cracking and peeling, changes in colour such as fading or matting, and moisture sensitivity. Accelerated corrosion testing and biodegradation tests measure the possible creation of moulds, mildew, fungi, and algae. Nothing is left to chance. ![Close-up of colour sample wall in the Reynaers Experience Room.](/sites/default/files/public/styles/landscape_full_width_wide/public/2022-04/Reynaers-Aluminium-colour-options-3.jpg?h=61f1cca7&itok=mV17h-lA) Share this story - [f](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A//www.reynaers.co.za/markdownify/node/6299%3Futm_source%3Dfacebook%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Dwebsite) - [t](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=https%3A//www.reynaers.co.za/markdownify/node/6299%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Dwebsite) - [l](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=1&url=https%3A//www.reynaers.co.za/markdownify/node/6299%3Futm_source%3Dlinkedin%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Dwebsite) - [p](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/) - [m]() ## You might also like [ See all stories ](/stories) - ![Girl entering white house via fingerprint scanner technology.](/sites/default/files/public/styles/teaser_medium/public/2022-03/Reynaers-Aluminium-smart-building-3.jpg?h=35756bb6&itok=BCbyUfqr) ### Turn your house into a smart home with Reynaers Aluminium [](/inspiration/stories/turn-your-house-smart-home-reynaers-aluminium) Read this - ![Qualicoat logo in front of colourful windows.](/sites/default/files/public/styles/teaser_medium/public/2025-06/new-banner-qualicoat-min.png?h=08a656c4&itok=74AmV2DW) ### Qualicoat Class 2: aluminium coating that lasts [](/inspiration/stories/products/qualicoat-class-2-aluminium-coating-lasts) Read this [ See all stories ](/stories)
