When the team at Nordan required a full external refurbishment of their showroom at Briarhill Business Park in Galway, they needed a cladding spraying contractor with proven experience, technical expertise, and the ability to deliver a long‑lasting protective solution.

As a busy commercial location within the Galway Technology Park, the building’s exterior plays a crucial role in presenting a professional, well‑maintained image to customers and partners. The metal cladding and soffit details had begun to show signs of ageing, weathering, and surface deterioration, making a comprehensive refurbishment essential to protect the asset and restore its appearance.

Cladding Coatings were contracted to undertake the spraying works, installing a robust 15‑year cladding coatings warranty system across exterior metal cladding and soffit areas. This project marks another successful delivery for our team in Ireland, building on our previous work at Tricel in Killarney, where we completed a full cladding refurbishment to extend the building’s lifespan and improve its visual appeal. Our experience working across Ireland meant we were already familiar with the climate challenges, logistical considerations, and specific requirements of Irish industrial and commercial sites, enabling us to plan and execute the project efficiently.

The Nordan showroom required a solution that would not only enhance the building’s appearance but also provide long‑term protection against the coastal and weather‑exposed conditions typical of the west of Ireland. Metal cladding in these environments is particularly vulnerable to UV degradation, moisture ingress, and surface corrosion. Left untreated, these issues can compromise the integrity of the building envelope and lead to costly repairs. Our 15‑year warranty system was selected for its proven durability, excellent adhesion, and ability to withstand harsh weather cycles while maintaining colour stability and performance.

Before any coating work could begin, our team carried out a detailed site assessment to understand the condition of the substrate and identify areas requiring additional preparation. As with all Cladding Coatings projects, surface preparation was a critical stage. The metal cladding and soffit details were thoroughly cleaned to remove contaminants, chalking, and environmental build‑up. Any areas showing early signs of corrosion were treated to stabilise the surface and ensure a sound base for the coating system. This meticulous preparation is essential for achieving a long‑lasting finish and ensuring the coating performs to its full warranty period.

Once preparation was complete, our specialist operatives applied the high‑performance cladding coating system using controlled, consistent spray techniques to achieve an even, professional finish. The system was installed in accordance with manufacturer specifications, ensuring full compliance with the 15‑year warranty requirements. The coating provides a seamless, weather‑resistant barrier that protects the metal substrate from corrosion, UV exposure, and moisture penetration. It also delivers a clean, modern aesthetic that significantly enhances the building’s look.

Working on a live commercial site required careful planning to minimise disruption to Nordan’s operations. Our team coordinated access, sequencing, and safety measures to ensure the showroom could continue functioning while the refurbishment progressed. As with all our projects, safety remained a top priority, with our operatives following strict protocols and maintaining clear communication with the client throughout the works.

The completed refurbishment has transformed the exterior of the Nordan showroom. The building now benefits from a renewed, uniform appearance that reflects the quality of the brand inside. More importantly, the 15‑year warranty system provides long‑term peace of mind, ensuring the cladding and soffit details remain protected for years to come. The project demonstrates the value of investing in high‑quality, site‑applied coating systems to extend the lifespan of commercial buildings and avoid the significant cost and disruption associated with cladding replacement.

This project at Briarhill Business Park is another example of Cladding Coatings’ strong reputation as a trusted specialist in cladding refurbishment across the UK and Ireland. With decades of experience, a highly trained in‑house team, and a commitment to delivering durable, visually impressive results, we continue to support businesses in protecting and enhancing their buildings through tailored coating solutions.
