  Cut Edge Corrosion

  Some cladded units may exhibit cut edge corrosion, where exposed metal edges become vulnerable to the elements. Our team can assess the damage and recommend the best course of action for repair and protection.

Why Does Cladding Fail and How Does Painting Help?

Spray painting cladded buildings is much faster than traditional brushing and rolling, reducing downtime for your business. Our qualified sprayers deliver a smooth, uniform finish, making cladding look as good as new.

Cladding, once mainly used for farm storage and hangars, is now widely utilised in a variety of building types across the UK due to its flexibility, affordability, and availability. Over time, however, certain issues can arise that affect cladding’s durability:

• Water Damage: Condensation, particularly in the UK climate, can lead to water damage, especially when it builds up on the inner layers of cladding, accelerating cut edge corrosion.
• Expansion and Contraction: Cladding panels expand and contract with temperature changes, particularly in dark-coloured panels during summer. This movement can cause coatings to fail, especially around joints and fasteners.
• Fixings: The flexibility of cladding can create challenges with the fixings. Older fasteners may have corroded over time, leading to potential issues.

By recoating your cladding, you can address these common problems and protect your building from further deterioration, ensuring its longevity and maintaining a polished, professional appearance.
