With SCA’s pre-painted caldding, only a final coat is required, allowing you to save time by reducing the number of painting rounds. You also save money, as you need to buy less paint, leading to lower costs. The total amount of paint required for three coats when painting at home is also greater than the paint used when the first two coats are applied in our painting facility and the final one after installation. This is because we use exactly the amount of paint needed and recycle excess paint through purification. Choosing a pre-painted cladding is both sustainable and cost-effective.
Cost calculation
Hiring a painter, renting scaffolding, and purchasing paint are all time-consuming and expensive tasks. By choosing a pre-painted cladding, you can reduce the rental period for scaffolding, the working hours for the painter, and the amount of paint you need to buy. So, even though the initial purchase of the panel is slightly more expensive, you will save money in the long run. The cost example below is based on 100 square meters of Dubbelfas 22x145 painted with Jotun Acrylic Paint. The example includes costs for cladding purchase, paint, scaffolding, and labor for a professional painter.
