Site‑Applied Coatings for Cladding. The Smart, Cost‑Effective Way to Protect and Transform Your Building

Site‑applied coatings for cladding have become one of the most effective ways for building owners and facilities managers to extend the life of their property, improve aesthetics and avoid the disruption and cost of full cladding replacement. At Cladding Coatings, we’ve spent more than 15 years delivering specialist on‑site refurbishment solutions for metal wall cladding, using high‑performance coating systems designed to protect, modernise and future‑proof commercial and industrial buildings.

Why Choose Site‑Applied Coatings for Cladding?

The condition of your external cladding says a lot about your business. Faded colours, corrosion, chalking, peeling paint or weather damage can make a building look tired and poorly maintained. Yet full cladding replacement is expensive, disruptive and often unnecessary.

Site‑applied coatings offer a smarter alternative. They allow you to:

• Extend the lifespan of existing cladding by protecting metal substrates from corrosion, UV exposure and weathering.
• Refresh and modernise the appearance of your building with a clean, uniform finish in any RAL colour.
• Avoid costly replacement by restoring performance and aesthetics at a fraction of the price.
• Minimise downtime as all work is completed on site, around your operational needs.
• Improve asset value with a building that looks professional, well maintained and aligned with your brand.
• For many clients, coatings deliver the same visual impact as new cladding, without the waste, cost or disruption.

High‑Performance Coating Systems for Metal Cladding

At Cladding Coatings, we only use trusted, proven coating systems that offer long‑term protection and excellent adhesion on metal cladding. Each system is selected based on the substrate, condition and performance requirements of your building.

Here are some of the wall coating systems we commonly apply on site:

1. Rust‑Oleum Noxyde®
   A premium elastomeric coating ideal for metal cladding suffering from corrosion or weathering. Noxyde® forms a thick, waterproof membrane that prevents rust from spreading and provides exceptional resistance to cracking and peeling. It’s particularly effective on ageing steel cladding and buildings exposed to harsh environments.
   
2. Tor Coatings Elastaseal™
   A flexible, durable system designed for long‑term weatherproofing. Elastaseal™ is often used where movement, expansion or contraction of cladding panels is a concern. Its elasticity ensures the coating remains intact even under thermal stress, making it ideal for large commercial units.
   
3. Giromax® Edge and Wall Systems
   Giromax® is widely recognised for its specialist solutions for cut edge corrosion and metal cladding refurbishment. Their wall coating systems offer excellent UV stability and long‑term colour retention, ensuring your building maintains a fresh, professional appearance for years.
   
4. Axalta ViterClad M50
   Axalta ViterClad M50 Finish is a high‑performance, fast‑curing topcoat formulated to give metal cladding a smooth, durable finish with excellent colour retention and long‑term weather resistance. It’s a reliable choice for achieving a modern, uniform façade that stands up to daily environmental exposure.
   
5. Rust-oleum 7500 Alkythane®
   Rust‑Oleum 7500 Alkythane® is a tough, fast‑drying polyurethane topcoat that gives metal cladding long‑lasting colour and gloss retention. It’s a reliable choice for refreshing and protecting ageing façades with a durable, professional finish.
   
6. Rust‑Oleum Metal Cladding Top Coat
   Rust‑Oleum Metal Cladding Top Coat provides a smooth, durable finish that refreshes ageing façades while delivering long‑lasting protection against weathering and UV fade.
   
7. Tikkurila Temadur 20
   Tikkurila Temadur 20 is a hard‑wearing polyurethane topcoat that provides a smooth, semi‑gloss finish with excellent resistance to weathering and abrasion, making it ideal for protecting and refreshing metal cladding.
   
8. Jotun Paint
   Jotun Paint offers a robust range of industrial‑grade coatings known for their durability, colour stability and strong protection against corrosion, making them a reliable choice for refurbishing and safeguarding metal cladding on commercial buildings.
