The project involved the application of Cladding Coatings’ trusted 15-year system to three elevations of the building, including all loading and personnel doors. Additional work included the preparation and painting of a rear shutter and two security windows, ensuring a consistent and durable finish across the entire exterior.

Cladding Coatings’ team undertook the following tasks:

Surface Preparation:
All surfaces were thoroughly cleaned and prepared to ensure optimal adhesion of the coating system. This included degreasing, pressure washing, and addressing any areas of corrosion or damage.

Application of 15-Year System:
The high-performance coating system was applied to three elevations of the building. Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and UV exposure, this system offers long-term protection and aesthetic enhancement.

Door Refurbishment:
All external loading and personnel doors were coated to match the building’s refreshed façade, improving both appearance and durability.

Rear Shutter and Security Windows:
The rear elevation received special attention, with the shutter and two security windows prepared and painted to align with the rest of the building’s finish.

Connect Vending opted for a sleek, modern colour palette that complements their brand identity. The chosen finish not only revitalised the building’s appearance but also provided a protective barrier against atmospheric and mechanical deterioration.

Cladding Coatings’ bespoke colour-matching service ensured consistency across all treated surfaces, from cladding panels to doors and shutters. This attention to detail reinforced the professional image Connect Vending aims to project to clients and visitors.

The project utilised Cladding Coatings’ advanced spray application techniques, which offer:
