Decades of industry experience have taught us that producing high-quality products comes with a responsibility to our customers, our employees, and our environment. One of the most important choices we’ve made with this responsibility in mind is using powder coating as our finishing process.
Offering four key advantages, it’s a smarter and cleaner way to enhance our products.
1. Eco-Friendly & Efficient Process
Powder coating contains no harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it safer for our team and better for the environment. At Valley Design, we’ve optimized our finishing process to reclaim and reuse over 95% of overspray. This helps keep waste to a minimum while maintaining efficiency.
This process also uses less energy than conventional liquid coatings, which helps reduce our carbon footprint. The result is a high-quality, durable finish that meets our customers’ standards without placing unnecessary strain on the environment.
2. Healthier Work Environment
2. Healthier Work EnvironmentOne of the benefits of powder coating that often goes unnoticed is the impact on workplace safety. By removing many of the toxic chemicals and fumes found in conventional paints, the process creates a cleaner, healthier environment for our team. This allows us to focus on delivering high-quality products while maintaining a safe and responsible workspace.
3. Durable, Long-Lasting Finish
Products finished with powder coating are built to endure everyday use. They resist chipping, scratching, fading, and corrosion, making them a reliable choice for high-traffic environments. This long-lasting performance keeps products looking great and functioning well for years, giving customers both confidence and value in their investment.
4. Low Maintenance for Everyday Use
Keeping powder-coated finishes looking like new is simple. A quick wash with warm water and a mild detergent is all it takes – no need for harsh or toxic cleaners. This makes maintenance easier and safer, particularly in healthcare, hospitality, and educational settings, helping staff maintain clean, well-kept spaces with minimal effort.
Expanding Our Color and Finish Offerings
With these many advantages in mind, we’re excited to take our powder coating capabilities to the next level. Beginning January 1, 2026, Valley Design will offer an expanded selection of finishes, now featuring 46 powder coat and premium plating options.
This paint program expansion gives our customers more options to achieve the exact look they want while enjoying the same performance and durability they’ve come to expect. It’s another step forward in our commitment to pairing innovative design with environmentally responsible manufacturing.
Supporting a Greener Future
At Valley Design, we’re always striving to improve the sustainability of our processes by reducing energy use, increasing recyclability, and minimizing landfill contributions. Every decision we make supports our mission to deliver high-quality products while contributing to cleaner air, fresher water, and a smaller carbon footprint.
