The process

Due to Doka UK’s new building in Sittingbourne becoming damaged after recent construction took place this created a job opportunity for us, to repair any damaged areas and leave the building in top condition again. With there being several damaged areas the job didn’t take long to complete, filling in the areas that required attention first this is including the door frame which had a range of spaces that needed to be repaired. Respraying the door frame was a complicated area as we had to be careful that the paint did not go on to the glass on the door or cause any disturbance to the work spaces inside of the building.

Colour Match Cladding

Finishing off this project consisted of us having to respray the areas that we had completed repairs on, this meant we had to perform a colour match for each areas as to complete the respray we had to use multiple colours on the building. In the end we decided to use these two colours – RAL 1021 Rapeseed Yellow and RAL 9006 Spectrum Silver. These were the two colours our colour matching technicians decided to go with, we are always 90% accurate on our colour matching decisions.
