No color or building is the same, of course. Each new coil, despite having the same RAL code or name, can have a different color or hue. This often occurs because most pigments for paint and coatings are derived from natural sources, leading to variations with each delivery. In the case of metallic finishes, there’s another dimension referred to in the industry as ‘flop.’ This refers to how the metallic particles rest on the surface and can create a darker or lighter effect. It’s similar to a long-haired carpet; the color doesn’t change, but if you rub over it, you can create lighter or darker spots.
Buildings and cladding fade over the years. One of our specialties is that we can ‘re-tint’ the color on-site with the right pigments to match the existing color.
Van Heemskerk has the techniques to mix the best matching color during repairs. We strive to make the repairs ‘invisibly unnoticeable’ to the satisfaction of our customers!
