Paint isn\u2019t exciting, but it\u2019s hugely important in the commercial realm. Paul Smith<\/em> of<\/em> F.H. Brundle, who stock a wide variety of paint alongside wrought iron, mesh, steel and other products, talks us through five key types of coatings in commercial projects, and what makes them useful and popular.<\/em><\/p>\n

Paint. It\u2019s hardly the most inspirational topic. But without it, the world wouldn\u2019t just be a much uglier place to be \u2013 the amount of maintenance needed on buildings, fences, railings and anything else exposed to the elements would be drastically increased.<\/p>\n

In the commercial realm, when project managers and specifiers are concerned with making spaces as durable and easily maintained as possible, that makes coatings extremely important.<\/p>\n

Choose wisely, and you\u2019ll have a site that stays looking its best for years to come. Get it wrong, and it\u2019ll prove costly, both for yourself and your client.<\/p>\n

To help you make the right choice, here\u2019s F.H. Brundle\u2019s guide to five important coatings used in commercial projects, and what makes them so popular.<\/p>\n

Vinyl coatings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vinyl coatings, like F.H. Brundle\u2019s own Rourke\u2019s Vinylast, are made of various types of resin, like polyvinyl acetate or polyvinyl chloride.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re attractive, long-lasting, and low-maintenance, and well-suited to providing abrasion and scratch resistance, heat-resistance and corrosion resistance, as well as simply improving the aesthetics of a surface.<\/p>\n

Vinyl coatings are particularly suitable for use on ironwork, and if it\u2019s been freshly galvanised, two coats will give a long-lasting finish. Gloss, semi-gloss and matte sheens are all available.<\/p>\n

Lacquer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Humans have been using lacquer for a very long time \u2013 the earliest known examples date back 9,000 years from ancient Japan, where it was routinely mixed with vermillion and used to decorate pottery.<\/p>\n

Essentially, lacquer is a naturally-occurring plastic. It\u2019s extracted from the clear sap of the lacquer tree, common in China, Japan, and other parts of East Asia, and then used to protect surfaces.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s highly durable, and frequently used on everything from wood to metal. It also dries and hardens very quickly, but is liable to chip if not treated carefully.<\/p>\n

Powder coating<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the more modern coating techniques, powder coating is becoming increasingly popular for commercial and industrial applications. As the name suggests, dry powder is sprayed onto a surface, then heated to bind it.<\/p>\n

The powder itself is a mix of finely-ground pigment particles and resin, that gets electrostatically applied to the surface in question. In a curing oven, those particles are fused into a smooth coating.<\/p>\n

Powder coated finishes are very durable and cost-effective, and are much cleaner to use than applying wet paint. They\u2019re also quicker and more environmentally-friendly than some alternatives.<\/p>\n

Enamel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enamel is a slow-drying paint that contains resin. Its key benefit is its smooth, semi-transparent finish \u2013 the extra drying time allows it to level out more than other types of paint.<\/p>\n

The added resin also makes it highly durable \u2013 that\u2019s why we recommend F.H. Brundle\u2019s Enamelrite whenever a tougher finish is required. Enamel finish paints can withstand mechanical abrasion better than other alternatives. That makes them ideal for use on handrails, furniture, seating, and other high-use settings.<\/p>\n

Anti-climb paint<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anti-climb paint is the black sheep of the family. It\u2019s not designed to improve aesthetics at all \u2013 but nonetheless plays a critical role in keeping important buildings safe all around the country.<\/p>\n

Anti-climb paint doesn\u2019t set, meaning it\u2019s permanently slippery, and therefore an excellent way of preventing would-be burglars from scaling walls, fences, drainpipes, streetlamps, and virtually any other surface it\u2019s applied to<\/p>\n

To be effective, anti-climb paint has to be applied quite thickly \u2013 a layer that\u2019s 2-3mm thick is best.<\/p>\n

However, be wary of the law before applying it – you need to put up warning signs if there\u2019s anti-climb paint in use on a site.<\/p>\n

For more advice, speak to F.H. Brundle<\/strong><\/p>\n

At F.H Brundle, we offer an extensive range of paints for metalwork.<\/p>\n

We stock anti-corrosion primers, gloss and semi-gloss paints, as well as hammered, metallic and patina finishes.<\/p>\n

Our high-quality Vinylast paint doesn\u2019t require pre-treatment, and gives an attractive, long-lasting finish to freshly galvanised ironwork.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, our Cold Zinc Galvanise provides both a highly effective anti-corrosion coating, and a method for repairing zinc surfaces, while GALVAFROID can be used as both a primer and a topcoat to prevent rust and corrosion!<\/p>\n
