Common Questions
Add FAQs for blinds
Anodising and powder-coating are both surface-protection finishes but where anodising becomes part of the aluminium, powder-coating sits on top of it.
Anodising is best for long-term marine exposure. It is an electrochemical process that hardens the aluminium surface itself. It doesn’t add a coating; it transforms the outer layer of the metal into a dense, corrosion-resistant oxide.
This provides superior corrosion resistance, excellent durability and low maintenance. Because it doesn’t add a coating, all welds and natural aluminium imperfections can be seen.
Anodising is the finish used on most high-quality marine hardware because it stays stable even when the surface gets scratched — the oxide layer simply reforms.
Powder-coating gives a nice, smooth appearance that covers welds and natural metal imperfections but is less ideal for harsh marine exposure.
Powder-coating is a paint-like layer baked onto the surface. It provides colour and a smooth cosmetic finish, but it is still a coating sitting on top of the aluminium.

Yes, in some circumstances.
Weaver produced several different models of hatch.
If your Weaver hatch has welded hinges and a low profile, many of our Cule hatches will be a direct replacement.
If your Weaver hatch has black friction hinges and a higher upstand, we will have similar sized hatches, but they are not a direct replacement. We can still assist but we need to discuss first.
