How to Refurbish Faded Cladding Panels
Why Cladding Needs Recoating
Over time, cladding loses colour, chalks and suffers from environmental damage. A good refurbishment restores the building’s appearance and prevents long term corrosion.
Preparing the Panels
Clean the surface thoroughly with detergents or cladding cleaners. Remove chalking with aggressive cleaning or light abrasion.
Choosing a Cladding Paint
Water based cladding paints provide low odour and quick drying. Solvent based options offer stronger adhesion to older, more degraded surfaces.
Application Technique
Apply evenly using rollers or sprayers. Multiple thin coats generally give a smoother finish than a single thick coat.
