Rawlins Paints' Blog - Metal Cladding Paint Posts

Rawlins Paints regularly post articles about cladding maintenance and application methods, which follow-on from commonly placed customer enquiries. So, whether you are looking for a simple guide to spray paint cladding and corrugated metals, to repairing cladding panel damage and the corrosive effects of cut edge corrosion, you'll find a helpful guide there. Alternately, drop us an email if there is a metal cladding paint topic you'd like a 'how to guide' about.

Profiled Metal Cladding Paint Locations

Buildings and industries who commonly have profiled metal cladding facades include factories, warehouses, retail establishments, shopping centres, leisure centres and holiday parks, hotels, hospitals, schools, workshops, garages, and portakabins. 

Metal Cladding Primers

Excessively aged or damaged cladding may require a suitable primer prior to a new cladding topcoat. Cladding primers for steel and aluminium cladding can make difficult to coat surfaces - where topcoats may not easily adhere to the substrate - much more maintainable. Providing a strong base for many topcoats, cladding primers can protect surfaces from further oxidation and degradation. For areas of buildings exposed to harsh weather, chemical or intense cleaning conditions, a primer will offer added corrosion protection, which with Rust-Oleum's cladding primer can be painted over with a topcoat after an hour of drying time.

Metal Cladding Maintenance Paint

Maintenance coatings for cladding can:

  • Be produced in a wide range of colours
  • Applied to previously painted, new or weathered cladding 
  • Offer excellent weather resistance 
  • Protect against scratches and abrasion damage 
  • Come in a range of gloss levels
  • Revive and protect aluminium and steel cladding

Plastisol cladding is a protective and decorative outer cover for large commercial and industrial properties. These cladding panels require regular maintenance checks when in corrosive, UV exposed and harsh weather climates, but with the right primers and topcoats can be protected for up-to fifteen years. Cladding materials are usually metal – commonly aluminium or steel – with Plastisol cladding becoming more popular in recent years.

Occasionally (incorrectly at that) referred to as plastic cladding, Plastisol metal cladding consists of polyvinyl chloride particles in an emulsion, heated to form a solid and stable substrate. Visually striking in its freshly coated finish, if un-maintained, it can discolour, chalk and degrade through exposure over time.

Damaged Plastisol Cladding

When damaged, the Plastisol coating can ‘come away’ or split from the underlying metal cladding. This can allow moisture and water particles to enter the newly exposed areas and cause rust. Damaged Plastisol cladding is not only an eyesore, but if left to degrade, it can be expensive to repair – whole panels may need replacing rather than simple maintenance repair work in the initial stages. To avoid any negative effects to the integrity of Plastisol cladding, a fantastic range of cladding paints are available here at Rawlins Paints.

Refurbishing aged, cracked and weathered Plastisol cladding couldn’t be easier in 2017, and with the right primer for particularly corroded areas, these panels can look like new again. This can be extremely important to large commercial buildings, offices and schools, where the visual décor and appearance may be used a lot in promotional materials and for online marketing.

To recoat and refinish Plastisol cladding is obviously cheaper and much more cost effective than replacing it – and if the correct surface preparation methods are used when treating damaged areas, any edges which have failed (and the top coating is breaking away from the metal cladding underneath) can be quickly restored.

Painting Plastisol Cladding

Many businesses and facilities can be kept open whilst the outer cladding is repaired or recoated by brush, roller or spray for larger surface areas. So, with our no-downtime Plastisol cladding paints and maintenance products, old water-damaged roof or side panel cladding can quickly be restored. The cladding paints available here also offer superb UV protection, protecting against any further colour fading from exposure to the sun.

Rapid dry and high performing one-coats are available, with full application methods and drying times covered in the accompanying data-sheets. For further technical and sales support when buying Plastisol cladding paints, please contact Rawlins Paints and we will be able to help recommend the best product dependant on your requirements. 


Guarantees, Warranties and Life Expectancies for Large Cladding Projects

Painting cladding is much more cost effective and less disruptive to the building than replacement. Using our products, it is possible for any competent person to protect and rejuvenate their weathered cladding, improving its life expectancy.

However, often larger cladding projects require some form of ‘guarantee’ for the client and/or building owner to provide peace of mind that the coating system applied to the cladding will last for an agreed period of time.

We offer systems that can be used year round to provide up to 20 years protection when applied by an approved contractor to Plastisol HP200, HPS200, PVF2, Powder Coating, Galvanised Steel and more. More than 15 million squares metres have been protected with our systems that are available in virtually any colour including metallic shades protecting against atmospheric, chemical and mechanical deterioration.

We will visit your site and carry out a full inspection, write a tailored specification to meet your requirements and offer an approved contractor for the application. We will never offer a contractor that we have not trained and approved, all our contractors have successfully completed specific product training on the systems they apply and are monitored regularly to ensure the highest standard of quality is achieved.

By using one of our nationwide approved contractors for our products you enable yourself to take advantage of our guarantees, life expectancies and warranties. This means if we say our system is going to last a certain amount of time, or perform in a certain way and it doesn’t, you’re covered.

If you’re a contractor and would like to become an approved installer of our systems please contact us on 0113 245 5450
