Reynaers Aluminium now offers Class 2 Qualicoat paint finish as standard due to its enhanced durability, superior UV resistance and the overall endurance of Class 2 paints.

The new products are said to have passed extensive testing – undergoing a three-year Florida weather exposure test where they must achieve 75% gloss retention – to ensure they retain their appearance and functionality over time.

Reynaers has reassured customers that Class 1 paint finishes will remain available to maintain consistency across projects; however, customers will be encouraged to benefit from the Class 2 option which will be the standard option moving forward.

Offered at no extra cost, Class 2 Qualicoat finishes are now available in over 250 of Reynaers colour offering.

Wayne Irvine, sales director at Reynaers Aluminium UK, said: “For Reynaers, offering Class 2 is important to us as a way to ensure the products that we offer will deliver the best value for our customers and enhance their projects to make sure they stand the test of time.

“Sustainability is very much at the heart of our operations, products and service at Reynaers and upgrading to Class 2 paints is another way that we, and our customers can support sustainable building design.

“Aluminium offers exceptional longevity and is a low maintenance solution. All Reynaers’ systems will continue to be backed by a Reynaers insurance-backed guarantee.”
