- Priming: Apply a suitable primer to enhance adhesion and provide an additional layer of protection (again only where necessary).
- Topcoat Application: Use a high-quality topcoat to seal and protect the surface. Consider environmental factors and weather conditions during application.
Performance of Cladding Coatings
A well-applied cladding coating can significantly extend the lifespan of the cladding by:
- Protecting against UV rays and weathering.
- Preventing rust and corrosion.
- Withstanding cleaning chemicals and pressure washing.
- Maintaining aesthetic appeal through colour retention and surface protection.
Common Misconceptions About Cladding
Cladding is often mistaken for other building elements like shutters or facade panels. Unlike these components, cladding serves both a protective and decorative function, covering the exterior walls of buildings to shield them from environmental damage while enhancing their appearance.
While cladding paint provides excellent protection against weathering, corrosion, and other factors, it does not inherently offer fire protection. Cladding paint is primarily designed to enhance the appearance and durability of the cladding material but lacks the specialised fire-resistant properties needed to prevent or slow the spread of fire. For buildings requiring fire protection, it is essential to consult with a fire safety expert for recommendations and guidance, to ensure your building meets the necessary standards for fire protection. Our Technical Team are able to help with fire protection paints, varnishes and treatments for timber cladding should this be required.
Domestic, Commercial, and Industrial Cladding
Domestic Cladding:
- Found in residential homes and buildings.
- Typically wood or plastic for aesthetic purposes.
Commercial Cladding:
- Used in office buildings, retail outlets, and sports centres.
- Often metal or Plastisol for durability and low maintenance.
Industrial Cladding:
- Common in factories, warehouses, and large industrial complexes.
- Primarily metal to withstand harsh environmental conditions and heavy use.
Cut Edge Corrosion
Cut edge corrosion occurs when the protective coating on the edges of metal cladding wears away, exposing the metal to the elements and causing rust. Specialised coatings can help in providing a solution to corroded cut edges and preventing further deterioration.
Cladding Paint FAQs
What is cladding?
Cladding is an exterior finishing system designed to protect a building from environmental elements while enhancing its appearance. Cladding can be made from various materials such as metal, wood, plastic, or composite materials. It acts as a shield against weather conditions like rain, wind, and UV rays, helping to prevent structural damage and improve energy efficiency.
What types of cladding are available?
Common types of cladding include metal, plastic/PVC, wood/timber, and Plastisol. Metal cladding is often used in industrial settings for its durability and strength. Plastic/PVC cladding is lightweight and low maintenance, making it suitable for residential use. Wood/timber cladding provides a natural look and is often used in domestic architecture. Plastisol cladding consists of a steel substrate with a PVC coating, offering excellent weather resistance and durability.
What is cut edge corrosion?
Cut edge corrosion occurs when the edges of metal cladding lose their protective coating, leading to rust and deterioration. This often happens at the cut edges of metal sheets where the protective layer has been compromised. To prevent cut edge corrosion, preemptive maintenance is essential using specialised edge sealants or coatings that can withstand exposure to the elements and provide long-lasting protection.
Can general-use paints be used on cladding?
No, general-use paints are not suitable for cladding as they do not provide the necessary adhesion and protection required for exterior applications. Specialist cladding paints are formulated to bond with the specific materials used in cladding, ensuring a durable and long-lasting finish. Using the wrong type of paint can result in peeling, flaking, and reduced protection against weathering and corrosion.
How should cladding be prepared before painting?
Proper preparation is crucial for a successful cladding paint job. The surface should be thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, grease, and loose material. Any rust or loose and flaking old paint should be scraped off, and the surface should be sanded if necessary. Applying a suitable primer (if required) is essential to enhance adhesion and provide a suitable base for the topcoat. For best results, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for surface preparation and priming.
What is Plastisol cladding?
Plastisol cladding consists of Galvalloy® or zinc coated/galvanised steel sheets coated with PVC for enhanced durability and weather resistance. It is widely used in industrial and commercial buildings due to its excellent performance and low maintenance requirements. Plastisol cladding is resistant to fading, scratching, and minor impacts, making it a popular choice for exterior applications.
Where is cladding commonly used?
Cladding is used in a variety of settings, including domestic, commercial, and industrial buildings. In residential areas, cladding is often used to improve the appearance of homes and provide additional insulation. In commercial buildings, it enhances the aesthetic appeal and protects against weather damage. Industrial buildings use cladding for its durability, speedy installation and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
How long does cladding paint last?
The longevity of cladding paint depends on the quality of the paint, the application process, and the environmental conditions. High-quality cladding paint can last up to 20 years or more, providing long-lasting protection and maintaining the appearance of the building. Some are even available with a manufacturer backed guarantee. Regular maintenance and inspections can help extend the lifespan of the paint.
What are the benefits of using cladding?
Cladding offers several benefits, including protection against weather elements, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced aesthetic appeal. It acts as a barrier against rain, wind, and UV rays, helping to prevent structural damage. Cladding can also provide additional insulation, reducing energy costs and improving the comfort of the building’s interior.
Can cladding paint be applied in any weather?
For optimal results, cladding paint should be applied in dry conditions with moderate temperatures. Extreme temperatures and high humidity can affect the curing process and the adhesion of the paint. It is best to check the weather forecast and avoid painting if rain or extreme weather conditions are expected.
What are the signs that cladding needs repainting?
Signs that cladding needs repainting include fading, cracking, peeling, and rust. Regular inspections can help identify these issues early, allowing for timely maintenance and preventing further damage. Repainting the cladding can restore its protective properties and enhance the appearance of the building.
Is cladding paint resistant to cleaning chemicals?
Specialist cladding paints are formulated to withstand cleaning chemicals and pressure washing, ensuring the longevity of the finish. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the appearance of the cladding, and using the appropriate cleaning agents and techniques will help preserve the integrity of the paint.
Can cladding be used on residential buildings?
Yes, cladding is widely used on residential buildings for its aesthetic and protective qualities. Wood and plastic cladding are popular choices for homes, providing a stylish finish and additional insulation. Properly installed and maintained cladding can enhance the curb appeal and value of a residential property.
How does cladding differ from uPVC or metal shutters?
Cladding covers the entire exterior wall of a building, providing protection and decoration. In contrast, uPVC or metal shutters are smaller, movable panels used over windows and doors for security and privacy. Cladding serves a broader purpose, improving the overall appearance and performance of the building.
What is the best cladding paint for metal surfaces?
Rust-Oleum Mathys Metal Cladding Topcoat is a popular choice for its long-lasting and durable finish. This high-quality acrylic paint provides excellent protection against weathering and corrosion, making it ideal for metal cladding surfaces. It is available in a range of colours to match the aesthetic requirements of different buildings.
How can I prevent cut edge corrosion?
To prevent cut edge corrosion, an anti-corrosive waterproof paint can be used to seal the edges and protect against moisture and rust. Regular inspections and maintenance can help identify and address any signs of corrosion early. Using specialised edge sealants can provide additional protection and extend the lifespan of the metal cladding.
What are the common applications for Plastisol cladding?
Plastisol cladding is often used in industrial and commercial buildings due to its durability and low maintenance. It is commonly found on warehouses, factories, retail outlets, and sports centres. Plastisol cladding provides a cost effective solution to finishing a building is generally fast to install, making it a preferred choice for high-traffic and exposed areas.
How do I choose the right colour for cladding paint?
When choosing a colour for cladding paint, consider the building’s surroundings, architectural style, and any brand colours for commercial properties. Light colours can help reflect heat and keep the building cooler, while darker colours can create a bold statement. Many manufacturers offer a wide range of colour options to suit different design preferences.
Can cladding paint improve energy efficiency?
Yes, some cladding systems can provide additional insulation, improving a building’s energy efficiency. Insulated cladding can reduce heat loss in the winter and keep the building cooler in the summer, leading to lower energy costs and increased comfort. Choosing the right type of cladding paint such as Zenova IP Thermal Insulating Paint can also contribute to a more energy-efficient building.
Why is it important to use a primer on cladding?
Primers enhance the adhesion of the topcoat and provide an additional layer of protection against rust and corrosion. Using a suitable primer ensures that the topcoat adheres properly and performs well over time. It also helps to create a uniform surface for the topcoat, resulting in a professional and long-lasting finish.
Rust Protection from Metal Cladding Paints
The lifespan of metal cladding coatings can be visually observed. Metal cladding sheets rust and deteriorate from seasonal elements, cut edge corrosion, chemical cleaning agents, and possible airborne chemicals around industrial plants and factories – an example of airborne chemicals would include exhaust fumes from adjacent car-parking or delivery vehicles at loading bays, where metal cladding may be used.
Metal, plastic, and Plastisol cladding can be found at a wide range of facilities and locations away from factory sites. Many holiday and residential parks utilise cladding on their buildings and maintenance portable cabins, as well as hospitals, retail outlets, sports centres (rowing clubs, gymnasiums, training centres), and schools.
If your business has cladding, you may be looking for sustainable and long-term coating system solutions, rather than quick fix decorative remedies. Metal and Plastisol cladding is eye-catching and a huge part of a company’s aesthetic qualities for prospective customers and sales, so be sure to use the best products available to avoid corrosion and rust deteriorating the cladding’s integrity.
Plastisol Cladding Paint – PVC Coated Sheets
Plastisol sheets which are used for cladding building roofs and walls are Galvalloy® or zinc coated/galvanised steel sheets, with a PVC coating applied. This ensures longevity (usually up to 25yrs) and durability against discoloration, fading, scratching, and other minor defects.
Rawlins Paints supply a wide range of Plastisol paints and coatings, from industrial and commercial paint manufacturers, including Rust-Oleum Mathys, Tor Coatings, and Wethertex.
Tor Coatings have a name synonymous with quality and their Unicover range comprises single pack and two pack systems that can be used to decorate and protect wall and roof Plastisol clad surfaces.

Common Cladding Definitions
Plastisol HP200: Easily recognized by its classic ‘leathery’ surface texture, this type of cladding has been available since 1987 (previous Mk.1 and Mk.2 versions were available from 1965 and had a similar appearance).
Colorcoat HPS200: This has a ‘dimpled’ surface texture, quite different from traditional leather-grain Plastisol. This Scintilla pattern has a tiny ‘S’ impressed inside it and has been available since 1998.
PVF2, Silicone Polyester, and Powder Coating: These common types of cladding have no surface texture and are therefore easily distinguished from either type of Plastisol shown above.
