Metal cladding paint is the finish applied to a steel or aluminium building structure and can be used for both new construction and refurbishments. Cladding is often exposed to the elements and can deteriorate over time, making it important that it has a high-quality finish to protect the underlying structure from corrosion.

Painting cladding is not as straightforward as painting other surfaces, and there are a few key things to remember. It is essential to choose the right paint for the job, which can be achieved by using a professional. A paint that is suitable for cladding needs to be easy to apply, be able to prevent rusting and must be durable and elastic. It also needs to be able to resist damage from airborne chemicals, rain and salt water.

Metal Cladding Paint

The best metal cladding paint is easy to apply and can be used on a range of substrates including polycarbonates, hard PVC and steel. It should be used on a clean surface that has been degreased with AMW mould removal solution and ND14 cleaner degreaser, and primed with Metal Cladding Primer or Noxyde.

A well-applied paint on a steel or aluminium structure can last up to 10 years, but the correct procedures must be followed to ensure longevity. If a primer or undercoat is not used, the lifespan of the paint may be significantly reduced. A good quality cladding finish will prevent rust and corrosion, and improve the aesthetic of a building. It will also provide a layer of protection against the weather and can help to extend the life of the underlying structure.
