Color Consistency on the Façade

When a planner or customer uses intense color tones, for example reds, blues or black/grey, they are consciously striving to make a color statement. It is therefore all the more important that the color concept endures in the longer term. This applies for façade colors, but also for colored façade sheeting, the open, ventilated façades of wood, metal, glass and plastic that lend an impressive, three-dimensional depth.

Over time, grime and pollution lead to façade colors losing their brilliance. The UV element in sunlight also alters the colored material itself. This is also the case with colored façade cladding. Not only can this fade, the UV rays can also cause fundamental damage to the sheeting material itself.

The key to a façade system that offers secure protection with long-lasting, intensive color therefore lies in the perfect interaction of pigment type, pigment quality and a high proportion of binding agents. Dörken products can make a significant contribution here: with over 125 years of expertise, the company’s paint and lacquer products deliver a color design that remains attractive and intensive over the course of many years. In turn, the Dörken façade sheeting is especially resistant to UV rays and ageing, meaning that the color of the façade sheeting does not fade under the influence of UV rays. At the same time, they are equipped with special UV stabilizers that prevent material from becoming brittle, for use behind open façade constructions.

This results in a perfect synergy that allows the appearance of the façade to be maintained over many years.
