MGM Industries Invests in First Automated Vacuum Spray Paint Coater for uPVC Extrusions
October 13, 2009

MGM Industries, based in Hendersonville, Tenn., says it is the first vinyl door and window in North America to successfully offer painted uPVC profiles for mass production. The company says it offers this in any exterior color to its customers, with the installation of an innovative automated vacuum coater.

"This is a tremendous boost to the industry," says Abe Gaskins, president of MGM Industries. "Architects and developers now have a choice for painted windows and doors besides clad, at about 50 percent of the cost."

The vacuum coater applies an automotive grade finish that resists flaking and peeling, making it durable for the commercial market.

Initially, the company plans to stock its 6010 Series single hung new construction window, the 4600 Series replacement window and the 9000 Series patio door in a bronze exterior on white interior and tan interior. Custom colors are available on a per quote basis. More colors will be added as the market dictates.

The company offers a 10 year warranty against industry accepted fading and peeling of paint.
