FINISHES
FormBoss® products are available in four durable finishes to suit different applications, environments and design styles: REDCOR®, GALVABOND®, SUPERDYMA® and powder coating. From the natural, evolving character of weathering steel to the clean finish of powder coating, choose the finish that best suits your project.
REDCOR®
Our most popular finish. Made in Australia from Australian BlueScope steel, REDCOR® is a weathering steel, similar to Corten, that develops a rich, natural rust-like patina over time. Durable and corrosion-resistant, it’s ideally suited to Australian conditions and complements both native landscapes and modern or traditional garden designs.
GALVABOND®
Made in Australia from Australian BlueScope steel, GALVABOND® is zinc-coated steel with a clean, contemporary galvanised finish. Offering excellent corrosion resistance, strength and long-lasting performance, it’s a versatile choice that works equally well across modern and traditional landscape designs.
SUPERDYMA®
SUPERDYMA® is a premium Japanese steel engineered for exceptional corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for coastal and harsh Australian environments. Its sleek, silvery-grey finish provides a contemporary look that complements both modern and traditional landscape designs.
POWDER COATED
Powder coated products, the latest addition to the FormBoss® range. These products are powder coated in-house, giving us greater control over quality, finish and colour. We use the durable Dulux® PROTEXTURE® range, available in a selection of popular COLORBOND® colours. The textured, scuff-resistant finish adds colour and style while providing a durable surface for long-lasting performance.
Available across our garden edging, planters and custom made products, in-house powder coating gives you more choice and flexibility to create a finish that complements your landscape.
