Sustainable Architectural Ironmongery: Corrosion Resistance, Antimicrobial Protection and the Future of Door Hardware - Evolution Doors

This talk explores the development of sustainable architectural ironmongery designed to deliver enhanced durability, corrosion resistance and antimicrobial performance. It will introduce the underlying coating technology and examine independent corrosion and antimicrobial testing data, including performance against common bacterial pathogens. The session will consider why antimicrobial surfaces remain relevant in the post-COVID built environment, particularly in high-traffic and hygiene-sensitive environments such as healthcare, education and public buildings. Real-world field data and early applications will be presented to demonstrate how the technology performs beyond the laboratory.
