Cladding Coatings’ metal roof coating and wall cladding coating for ultimate building protection

When your wall cladding looks faded and your metal roof coating is starting to peel, it’s time to call in the experts to renew the exterior of your building.

The longer days and the warmer temperatures signify that Summer is on its way. While most of the UK population love the hot sunny weather, it can present many problems for building owners.

How does the sun damage building exteriors?

All different types of weather can present problems for buildings, and the sunny/hot weather is no exception.

Intense sunshine can cause fading of coloured metal cladding, making your building look tired and worn. The sun’s rays can also make your building’s cladding look uneven particularly if areas are in the shade. This, in turn, doesn’t give the best first impression to your customers and visitors.

The sun’s heat can also damage metal roof coating and wall cladding coating. When temperatures are hot, the metal cladding sheets expand and then contract when the temperatures get cooler again. In Summer, this is a constant issue with warm days and cooler nights, and this repetitive process can significantly damage metal cladding. The movement of the cladding can cause the coating system to fail by cracking and peeling. It is an unsightly problem which, if left untreated, can lead to further deterioration of your metal cladding sheets and cause issues such as cut edge corrosion.

How can you protect your building against sun damage?

There is nothing you can do to stop the sun from shining down on your building; however, you can do things to help protect your metal cladding.

If you notice issues with your metal roof coating or wall cladding coating, it is essential to resolve them as soon as possible. The key is to stop problems in their tracks. If left untreated, they can lead to bigger problems where cladding replacement becomes your only option which can be a costly solution.
