Paints, varnishes, protective treatments
The following CPD materials have all been assessed and approved by the RIBA.
Watch steelwork undergoing the hot dip galvanizing process and understand how the coating offers long-life, maintenance-free corrosion protection for steel. Then follow the material through powder coating to understand the importance of the appropriate surface preparation and the aesthetic impact that colour and texture can make. Seeing both processes provides an in-depth knowledge of the benefits and opportunities that the coating can contribute to all projects.
