Revitalising an Industrial Building with Noxyde Plus

Industrial buildings take a beating from the British weather. Over time, exposure to rain, UV rays, temperature changes and airborne contaminants can leave roofs and cladding looking tired, corroded and vulnerable to leaks. For many building owners, the first thought is costly replacement — but that is not always necessary.

At Ironclad Coatings, we recently completed an industrial building refurbishment using Noxyde Plus, delivering a long-lasting protective finish while extending the life of the existing structure. Using Rust-Oleum Noxyde Plus we are able to offer a Manufacturer Warranty up to 20 Years.

The Challenge

The building had begun to show the common signs of ageing associated with industrial roofing and cladding systems:

  • Weathered and faded surfaces
  • Areas of corrosion and coating failure
  • Old signage that needed removing
  • Risk of water ingress
  • A tired appearance affecting the overall presentation of the property

Rather than opting for a full cladding replacement — which can be disruptive and expensive — the client wanted a practical and cost-effective refurbishment solution.

Why Noxyde Plus?

Noxyde Plus is a high-performance elastomeric coating system designed to provide outstanding corrosion protection and waterproofing.

Its flexibility and durability make it particularly effective for industrial environments where metal roofs and cladding are exposed to harsh weather conditions year after year.

Key benefits include:

  • Excellent anti-corrosion protection
  • Waterproof and seamless finish
  • Flexible coating that moves with the substrate
  • Long-term durability
  • Improved building appearance
  • Reduced disruption compared to replacement works

For industrial buildings, it offers a proven way to restore and protect without the downtime and expense associated with full replacement.

Preparation is Everything

A successful coating project starts with proper preparation.

Before applying the Noxyde Plus system, our team carried out thorough surface preparation to ensure optimum adhesion and performance. This included:

  • Inspection of the existing surfaces
  • Removal of loose coating and contaminants
  • Treatment of corroded areas
  • Cleaning and preparation of all substrates

Taking the time to prepare correctly is essential to achieving a durable finish and ensuring the coating system performs as intended for years to come.

The Application Process

Once preparation was completed, the Noxyde Plus system was professionally applied across the building.

The new coating system created a clean, uniform finish while sealing and protecting the existing structure from further deterioration. What was once a weathered industrial building now presented as a revitalised and professionally maintained asset.

The Result

The completed project delivered more than just an aesthetic improvement.

The client gained:

  • A refreshed and professional appearance
  • Enhanced protection against corrosion and water ingress
  • Extended service life of the building envelope
  • Minimal disruption to site operations
  • A cost-effective alternative to replacement

Industrial roofs and cladding do not always need replacing — often, the right coating system and experienced application team can restore performance and significantly extend the life of the building.

At Ironclad Coatings, we specialise in industrial roof and cladding refurbishment solutions across England, helping landlords, asset managers and business owners protect their properties for the long term.

If your industrial building is showing signs of age or corrosion, refurbishment could be the smarter solution.
