When designing a gym, every detail matters. From layout to lighting to the finish of your equipment, it all plays a role in how your facility looks, feels, and performs.

One of the choices is the finish of your gym rack. At BLK BOX, we offer both standard powder-coated and stainless steel options. But which is right for you?

The Power of Powder Coating

Our Signature Black and 14 other standard colours are applied using an advanced automatic powder coating line. This process offers a consistent, durable finish with enhanced grip, corrosion resistance, and a clean aesthetic. 

Powder coating isn’t just about looks – it’s designed to withstand daily impact, sweat, and abrasion, making it a reliable choice for high-use facilities.

Why Choose Stainless Steel?

Exclusively available in the 5 Series, the stainless steel option is our premium finish. Crafted through a combination of advanced robotic welding and in-house craftsmanship, it offers an unmatched blend of precision, performance, and aesthetics. This finish doesn’t just resist corrosion – it brings a new dimension to the entire look of your space.

Stainless steel racks are particularly suited for high-end training facilities, sports teams, and environments that prioritise longevity, hygiene, and a sleek, polished appearance.

Performance Meets Personality

If brand identity is a key part of your gym experience, powder-coated racks give you more flexibility with colour. From bold statement shades to subtle tones, our Shield powder coating system includes 14 preset options with additional customisation available in the 5 Series.

For facilities that want to showcase luxury and precision, stainless steel makes a powerful statement. It’s not just functional – it’s aspirational.

Durability and Maintenance

Both finishes offer excellent durability, but their maintenance needs differ. Powder-coated racks require occasional wipe-downs to maintain their look, while stainless steel is easier to keep spotless and corrosion-free.

Which Finish is Right for You?

• Choose Powder Coated: If you need colour customisation and reliable protection in a busy training space.
• Choose Stainless Steel: If you want premium aesthetics, minimal maintenance, and maximum impact in performance environments.

The Bottom Line

At BLK BOX, we’ve engineered our racks to perform – no matter the finish. Whether you choose the refined edge of stainless steel or the bold durability of powder coating, you’re investing in the best.
