Profile sheeting repairs

In most cases, the damage can be fixed “virtually invisibly”. That is to say: if someone doesn't know where the panel was damaged, they'll never be able to find the repaired spot! Of course, this does depend on local factors and the condition of the substrate.

9 out of 10 times, panels and profiles feature a coil coating, which is also known as pre-painted steel or aluminium. This could be a colorcoat prisma, PVDF, silicon polyester, or an HPS Plastisol coating, among others. Coil coating is a factory process involving extreme heat. As such, it cannot be applied for repairs.

The products we use are derived from the automotive sector and were specifically designed for repairs to sandwich panels and profiles. The paints seamlessly fit the applied coil coat when it comes to durability and appearance. We are familiar with all types of coating systems and always have the most common colours in stock.

No two colours or buildings are the same. Even if they have the same RAL code or name, every new coil will have a different colour or appearance. This is because most pigments for paints and lacquers are derived from nature, so their properties may differ from shipment to shipment. This phenomenon has an extra dimension in case of metallics, which professionals call “flop”. Flop refers to the way the metallic particles are positioned on the surface. This can result in a darker or lighter effect. It's not unlike a high-pile rug: the colour doesn't change, but you get lighter or darker spots depending on the position of the piles.

Properties and sheeting panels suffer from discolouration over the years. One of our specialisations is “retinting”. This means we use the right pigments to touch up the damage, so it matches the existing colour.

Yes, our service covers a wide range of applications. Please refer to the other parts of this website for more information. This includes, for example, repairs to aluminium frames and doors, as well as composite or wooden constructions. We can usually offer a solution, even though this is not necessarily listed on our site.

It is hard to estimate the costs in advance. They depend on a variety of factors, such as size, lighting, accessibility, paint type and local circumstances.

The price is also affected by the costs of replacement, dismantling and removal of the surrounding construction, which can cause damage, leaks etc. Sandwich panels are often attached with hidden fasteners and cannot simply be removed. On top of that, new deliveries almost invariably differ in colour, which means that repairs and spraying are often a more affordable option.
