If your roof or facade is chalking, the surface will have a dull and dirty appearance. Additionally, the coating will rub off easily and become highly susceptible to dirt, which can be seen, among other things, by greasy fingerprints, streaks from leaks, etc. Behind downspouts or in shaded areas, the coating is often in better condition, as these areas are less exposed to UV light

A major risk is that the coating will eventually start to peel off. As a result, the costs related to repairs will increase over time, which is why timely maintenance is strongly recommended

A facade is not something you check on a daily basis to see how everything is doing. In practice, the condition of the coating only becomes noticeable when it starts to peel off or has already significantly discolored.

PVC/Plastisol coatings are particularly sensitive to this. The plasticizers in the coating dissipate over time due to the effects of UV radiation. This causes the plastisol coating to harden and become prone to cracking.

Whether it peels off or not, we can assist you in any case, so feel free to contact us!

All coated surfaces require periodic maintenance to keep them looking nice, so that dirt and weather influences have less grip on the surface. You probably wash your car regularly, but not your facade or roof. Facade surfaces are not much different from cars but are subjected to much more intense stress.

By performing proper maintenance once or twice a year, chalking can often be limited. This does depend on the quality of the paint. Fortunately, modern paint systems are becoming increasingly UV-resistant, so chalking occurs less often than in the past. After the coating reaches the end of its lifespan, it is always advisable to carry out maintenance promptly.

Panels and profiles are in 9 out of 10 cases coated with a coil coating, also known as pre-painted steel or aluminum. For example, colorcoat prisma, PVDF, silicone polyester, HPS plastisol, etc. Coil coating is a factory-applied process at high temperature and therefore cannot be used for repairs.

The products we use originate from the automotive industry and are specially developed and applicable for repair work on sandwich panels and profiles. The paints seamlessly match the durability and appearance of the applied coil coat. We are familiar with all types of coating systems and have the most common colors in stock.

Costs are often difficult to estimate in advance and depend on the scope, lighting, accessibility, type of paint, and local conditions.

Cost considerations are also often viewed in the context of replacement, dismantling, removing the finishing, and construction with the risk of damage, leaks, etc. Many sandwich panels often have concealed fasteners and cannot simply be removed. Insulated panels perform technically for a lifetime, so it’s a shame to replace them when only the top coating has deteriorated. In such cases, repainting is often more cost-effective.
