HERITAGE PAINT FINISHES

Coastal regions are difficult to define, however for the purpose of this document and Tuscan guidelines, they are described as those areas within 5km of the coast.

The conditions in these areas are more aggressive than those experienced in many other areas. It is therefore very important that any paint chips or impact / installation damage is rectified straight away. Failure to rectify damage at an early stage, will lead to corrosion of the product progressing at an increased rate above what would be seen at an inland location.

To combat this aggressive environment, the overall coating thickness on the
Heritage Coastal products is much greater. This increased coating thickness forms a longer-lasting barrier between the environment and the substrate thus delaying the onset of corrosion. It is imperative that a robust maintenance regime is put in place to ensure that no salt or other contaminants are able to build up on the surface of the coating. Irrespective of the volume and quality of coating applied, regular maintenance and repainting will be required to ensure your Cast Iron products can continue to combat the harsh environments that coastal conditions present. Due to the bespoke paint requirements, these products are not available on our standard 3 to 5-day delivery.
