Why CustomCoat™?

SCRATCH-RESISTANT

A durable surface

CustomCoat is a UV-coating system for interior wall and ceiling panels. Panels are protected from wear-and-tear with the same coating used on our Fenta ceiling tiles – the durable, UV-cured clear finish developed by Bates Surfaces. This scratch-resistant finish is ideal for walls in high-traffic areas, as well as environments with stringent hygiene requirements.

CLEANER AIR

VOC-free paint

Our UV-curing technology is a photochemical process in which ultraviolet light cures the paint by binding the pigments. Coatings are instantly dried on the line, with no subsequent VOC emissions. This makes for a healthier product onsite and a safer working environment in the factory.

UV also outperforms most conventional coatings in many areas, including UV resistance, hardness , moisture resistance, chemical and stain resistance, antimicrobial properties and ultra matt finish, as well as being resistant to soft-touch fingerprints.

DIGITAL PRINTING

Any graphics concept

High-resolution printing gives you enormous scope to communicate identity and personalise interiors with innovative graphics and large-format images. As a narrative or storytelling device, these coated digital prints are more architecturally integrated with the building fabric than surface vinyl prints or paint-on finishes.

CREATIVE COLLABORATION

Design development

We don’t just deliver on concepts. We help discover them, too. Our design consultants can assist with new product ideas and advise on the latest colour trends. An on-site sampling machine also allows us to create sample panels for market testing. From bespoke colours to different gloss levels, our expertise can help you explore and expand the vision for your project.

SCOPE OF USE

CustomCoat is a surface finish for interior panels used to line walls and ceilings. This is a decorative coating, not a fire-rated coating. The substrate specified will determine which spaces the final panel can be used for. Contact us to discuss your application.
