Commercial exterior cladding coating at Mondelēz International
Specialist commercial service

Professional coating projects for commercial buildings

From external metal cladding to shutters and compatible architectural elements, commercial spraying is a specialist area of painting and decorating. Raven Décor has historically advertised spray work on cladding, aluminium framing, shopfronts and roller shutters. Every proposed job is assessed for the substrate, previous coatings, scale, access and working environment before a method or system is agreed.

The photographs on this page show exterior purple cladding associated with a Mondelēz International site. They are a real visual example; the precise coating product, quantity and application specification are not assumed from the photographs.

01

Exterior metal cladding

Large areas of profiled metal cladding can make a substantial difference to the appearance of a commercial building. The survey should consider original factory-applied finishes, panel condition, corrosion, cleaning needs, adhesion and compatibility of any new coating.

02

Roller shutter doors & frames

Shutters, metal doors and window frames involve moving components, seals and fittings that need careful masking. Different substrates and levels of exposure can call for different preparation and coating choices.

03

Shopfronts & commercial elevations

Appearance, business access, public safety and adjacent materials all have to be considered. The scope may include visual colour refreshes or a more involved protective specification, subject to condition and suitability.

04

Coordinating access and operations

Working at height, overspray control, masking and the movement of staff, vehicles or deliveries can materially affect the plan. We discuss suitable access equipment and site arrangements before pricing the work.

From enquiry to specification

What should be assessed before commercial spraying?

Good preparation and a suitable coating specification are critical. The questions below are a useful starting point for discussing an external commercial job, not a promise that a particular system or treatment is right for every building.

Survey

Surface material and condition

What is the building clad in? Is the coating factory-applied or previously repainted? Are there areas of oxidation, peeling, contamination, leaks or damaged panels? A compatible system cannot be selected from colour alone.

Preparation

Cleaning, adhesion and masking

Preparation may involve cleaning and degreasing, removal of loose material, repairs or spot treatment as required by the selected product. Signage, doors, glazing, vehicles, adjacent buildings and services all need to be considered.

Application

Weather and overspray management

Temperature, humidity, wind, exposure and access can restrict when work is possible. Any spray equipment, containment and protective measures must suit the job and its surroundings.

Handover

Colour, finish and documentation

Discuss required colour references, sheen, manufacturer technical guidance, maintenance considerations and what information should be recorded in the job specification. We only confirm warranties or expected performance when supported by the chosen system.

Frequently asked questions

Commercial spray coatings FAQs

Can you coat a complete industrial unit? +

Larger projects can be assessed individually. The feasibility and schedule depend on condition, access, the coating specification and available specialist resources.

Can spraying be carried out while the site is operating? +

That depends on the activities taking place and the controls needed for overspray, access and safe separation. The site arrangements must be reviewed before agreeing a method.

Do you provide a colour-matched finish? +

Colour references can be discussed, but availability and achievable finish depend on the chosen compatible coating system. Exact matching should be confirmed through samples or a technical specification where appropriate.

What information should we send for a quotation? +

Useful information includes site location, cladding type, photographs, approximate elevations or areas, existing coating condition, required colour, accessibility and ideal project dates.
