Sherwin-Williams Coatings


When Sherwin-Williams acquired Leighs Paints in 2011, it brought together decades of global leadership with a British company known for pioneering protective coating systems since 1860. That legacy continues under the Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings name, where innovation meets performance across some of the world’s most demanding industries.

One of the key sectors served is marine protection. Sherwin-Williams’ range of marine paints includes anti-corrosion coatings for hulls, superstructures, docks, and offshore rigs. These systems resist saltwater immersion, tidal abrasion, and UV degradation, making them essential for long-term durability in harsh marine environments. Their performance is proven in global shipping and offshore oil and gas operations.

Sherwin-Williams is also a major manufacturer of passive fire protection. Its FIRETEX range of fire retardant paints includes intumescent coatings for steel structures, meeting UK fire regulations in commercial and industrial buildings. These coatings expand under high heat, insulating steel against structural failure during a fire, and are available for both interior and exterior use.

From corrosion-resistant metal primers to direct-to-metal finishes and chemical-resistant linings, Rawlins Paints offers the full Sherwin-Williams range across the UK. These coatings are backed by technical data, specification support, and site-specific guidance to ensure reliable application and long-term performance, whether it’s onshore, offshore, or in transit.

Sherwin-Williams FAQs


Are Sherwin-Williams floor paints suitable for cold weather application?

Yes, several Sherwin-Williams floor systems can be applied in colder temperatures, including specialist low-cure options. These are useful for unheated warehouses, garages, and outdoor slabs. Always confirm application temperature limits in the technical data sheet before starting.

Can Sherwin-Williams metal primers be applied over rust?

Certain primers are formulated for application to hand-prepared, rusty metal surfaces. These encapsulate rust and provide adhesion where blasting isn't possible. However, the surface must still be firm, dry, and free from oil, grease, or loose material.

Do Sherwin-Williams marine coatings resist saltwater and UV?

Yes. Their marine coatings are designed for prolonged saltwater immersion and include UV-resistant finishes for deck and topside exposure. These systems offer extended life in harsh marine environments, reducing maintenance intervals and protecting structural integrity.

Is FIRETEX suitable for interior and exterior steel structures?

FIRETEX includes systems for both indoor and outdoor steel. External versions are tested for weather resistance and can be overcoated with decorative finishes. Ensure you select the correct product for the steel location and fire rating requirements.

What are the benefits of using direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings?

DTM coatings combine priming and finishing in one coat, saving time and labour. They are especially useful on prepared galvanised, mild steel, and aluminium where multi-coat systems are impractical. These coatings also offer fast drying and corrosion resistance.

Where can I get product support for Sherwin-Williams coatings?

Product support is available from Rawlins Paints, including help with technical data, surface preparation, compatibility, and compliance. Contact the team for recommendations specific to your site conditions, application method, and performance requirements.
