Wood Effect Oven: Advantages and Working Principle

During the sublimation process, specially patterned transfer films are applied to the aluminum surface using vacuum systems or heat pressure. Under high temperatures, pigment transfer occurs between the coated surface and the film, permanently embedding the wood grain pattern onto the aluminum material.

• Electrostatic powder coating is first applied to the aluminum profile.
• The profile is wrapped with a special wood grain transfer film.
• The film is tightly pressed onto the surface using a vacuum system.
• The profile is placed into the sublimation oven and processed at a specific temperature.
• Under heat, pigment transfer occurs and the wood grain pattern is permanently applied to the surface.

As a result of this process, the aluminum surface gains a natural wood-like appearance.

• Provides a natural wood appearance
• Creates a durable exterior surface
• Resistant to UV and weather conditions
• Long-lasting coating performance
• Energy-efficient insulation system
• Uniform heat distribution

• Aluminum profile manufacturing
• Facade systems
• Balcony railing systems
• Window and door profiles
• Decorative aluminum applications
