Architecture and colour
Surfaces have been brought to life through the vast array of colours available. The architect is free to highlight a detail or hide it. The colour charts are rich with bright or soft, strong or subtle shades and there is a wide range of metallic/pearlescent effects which are popular on modern buildings. The colourist can use gold yellow, ultramarine blue or antique red to increase harmony with natural colours. Bespoke colours can be produced for those companies wanting to enhance their corporate image.
Playing a role in creativity
Pre-painted metal can also meet style trends in terms of colour and other visual parameters. Offering the architect total freedom of choice in terms of size and shape, it can be flat or curved; formed into ridges, waves, or slopes; have depth and varied spacing.
No matter whether the sheet's skin is smooth or structured, whatever the profile shape, invisible fixing techniques and consistency of the product ensure uniformity of design. In addition, a whole range of accessories exists for facings and coil coated roofing, from drainpipes to ventilation grids to doorways, which can match or contrast with the basic colour.
Solutions for renovation
The application of precoated metal can resolve problems with weatherproofing, thermal insulation and poor decoration on existing buildings. Such renovation is suitable for metal, masonry or concrete structures.
In touch with different design preferences
There are two distinct schools of thought about the construction of external panels: the first and conventional one separates the insulation and the facing panels often leaving the choice of each material used to the project engineer. The second approach combines the insulation and finishing panels as one sandwich panel (polyurethane foam sandwiched between two sheets of steel or aluminium). This use of factory-produced composite panels is technically advantageous and also reduces costs on the building site.
As a result, the coil coating manufacturers have developed distinct products and have adapted coating to suit all kinds of design.
