Protective Coating For The Fencing Sector

Why the Fencing sector needs protective coatings

Fencing plays a crucial role in providing security, privacy, and aesthetic value across residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Ensuring these structures remain durable and visually appealing requires high-quality protective coating designed to withstand weather exposure, physical wear, and environmental challenges.

At Northpoint, we specialise in delivering sustainable protective coating for fencing that enhance the lifespan and appearance of fencing systems, offering superior resistance to corrosion and wear. Working to BS EN 13438 and BS 1722-16 is crucial to maintaining a high-quality standard on all of our coating work.

1. Surface Preparation

Every fencing component undergoes a thorough cleaning to remove dirt, grease, and surface imperfections. Pre-treatment techniques are employed to promote superior coating adhesion and ensure a uniform finish.

=

2. Masking and Inspection

Areas that should remain free of coating are carefully masked, and each piece is inspected to confirm it is ready for the application process.

3. Powder Application

Using advanced powder coating technologies, we apply an even, protective layer to the fencing components. This ensures a consistent finish, excellent corrosion resistance, and enhanced durability, even under harsh outdoor conditions.

4. Curing

The coated components are cured in high-temperature ovens, solidifying the coating into a durable, protective layer. This step increases resistance to chipping, scratches, and environmental wear.

5. Quality Assurance

Quality assurance: Each piece is subjected to rigorous inspection to ensure uniform coverage, adhesion, and a defect-free finish that meets the high standards of the fencing sector.

What fencing standards do your coatings meet?

Our fencing coatings are applied to meet BS EN 13438 (powder coatings for steel) and BS 1722-16, the British Standard for powder-coated fencing. Every coating comes with a guaranteed life expectancy and meets all relevant safety standards.

How long will a powder-coated fence last before it needs recoating?

With the correct pre-treatment — and a marine-grade specification where required — our fencing coatings provide long-term resistance to corrosion, chipping and scratching. Lifespan depends on the corrosion category of the site, which we assess and specify against ISO 12944.

Can you coat large fencing runs and mesh panels?

Yes — we coat fencing components and mesh fence panels for residential, commercial and industrial schemes, including large-scale projects with deliveries as far afield as the USA — our coatings have gone worldwide. Talk to us about your volumes and dimensions.
