Can You Match Your Company's Branding?
In many cases, yes.
Commercial spray painting can be particularly useful when a company wants its physical premises to reflect its brand identity.
For example, a business may want its:
- Cladding
- Doors
- Frames
- Roller shutters
- Architectural metalwork
- Shopfronts
to work together within a consistent colour scheme.
This can create a much more cohesive appearance across the property.
What If the Building Has Multiple Colours?
Commercial buildings do not have to be limited to a single colour.
Different sections can potentially be finished in complementary colours to create visual contrast.
For example, a warehouse could use one primary colour across the main cladding with a contrasting colour around entrances, doors or architectural features.
This can also be useful when incorporating company branding into the building.
The final approach will depend on the building, coating system and project requirements.
Is Repainting Cladding Better Than Replacing It?
If the existing cladding is structurally sound and suitable for refurbishment, respraying can be an alternative worth considering.
Replacing the cladding involves removing existing panels and installing new materials.
Respraying instead focuses on preparing and recoating the existing surface.
The right choice depends on the condition of the building.
If the cladding has serious structural damage, severe corrosion or other underlying problems, replacement or repair may be more appropriate.
Spray painting is primarily a surface refurbishment solution.
Why Preparation Is Important When Changing Colour
A new colour will not hide poor preparation.
Before the new coating is applied, the existing surface needs to be properly assessed and prepared.
Depending on the condition of the cladding, preparation may include:
- Cleaning
- Degreasing
- Removing loose material
- Abrasion
- Treating corrosion
- Repairs
- Priming
- Masking surrounding surfaces
The exact preparation required depends on the substrate and coating specification.
This is one of the reasons professional commercial spray painting involves considerably more than simply applying paint.
Will a Colour Change Disrupt Your Business?
The level of disruption depends on the size and complexity of the project.
Commercial spray painting can be planned around an operating business where site conditions allow.
Planning may involve working in sections, coordinating access, protecting entrances and scheduling certain activities outside normal operating hours.
Before work begins, the contractor should understand how the building is used so that the project can be planned appropriately.
Give Your Commercial Building a New Look
Changing the colour of your commercial cladding can completely transform the appearance of a building.
If the existing panels are still suitable for refurbishment, professional spray painting may provide a practical way to achieve that transformation without automatically replacing the entire cladding system.
At ProClad Coatings, we work with commercial property owners and businesses looking to refresh and modernise their buildings through professional spray painting and coating solutions.
Whether you have a specific brand colour in mind or simply want to give your building a more modern appearance, the first step is assessing the existing surface.
