QUALICOAT
APPROVED!!
We are now fully approved, below press statement from QUALICOAT…
QUALICOAT welcomes APC into membership of the association alongside a growing number of powder coating applicators who wish to take advantage of the increasing level of specification among architects and specifiers for QUALICOAT approved finishes. A QUALICOAT specification, whilst encompassing the BS EN 12206 standard, ensures that coating applicators are independently third party inspected by IFO at regular intervals to ensure consistency of quality meeting the QUALICOAT specification. A BS EN 12206 specification alone does not incorporate such accreditation.
The QUALICOAT Specification is continually and incrementally revised in real time with regular update sheets, the specification is completely rewritten at year end to include all updates. The global Specification, its appendices and any update sheets are always freely available for download at www.qualicoat.net
Craig Johnson, Director of APC, comments: ’At APC we have always strived to offer the best quality and service within the industry. Gaining our QUALICOAT licence gives our customers, and in turn their customers, piece of mind that the finished product will always be of the highest possible standard. Going forward this enables APC to carry on working with some of the best fabricators in the country, on some of the most prestigious buildings in the UK.’

APC collects and delivers reclaimed wood for local charity project…
Over the last few months we have collected packaging timber and delivered it to a nearby charity group who are building an activity hut and gardening area for local children.
The project is looking at getting children aged 3-5 outdoors and following a learning programme. Starting with planting and growing their own fruit and vegetables, then onto cooking with them.
In addition they will be learning to use various tools and equipment through forest school techniques.
Starting to take shape…
