Colour and Colorcoat®

Market research conducted by Tata Steel reveals that durability followed by colour availability, are the primary factors which influence the choice of a pre-finished steel product. Given the potential obstacles, which need to be navigated when considering the colour for a new or existing building, this is hardly surprising. The colour of an existing building or adjacent buildings from an earlier development may need to be taken into account, as might local geographic preferences, location or planning restrictions and house colours or corporate branding.

Whilst it is possible to produce Tata Steel Colorcoat® products in a wide choice of colours, to ensure the availability of products throughout the supply chain, they are generally shown as a range of standard colours. The use of standard colour ranges also ensures that complementary products, such as fixtures and fittings, are readily available to achieve a high level of coordination on the finished building.

In addition, our service Repertoire® can supply Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® and Colorcoat Prisma® in almost any solid colour all backed up by the market leading Confidex® Guarantee. Repertoire can match almost any shade from physical sample swatches, commonly used references such as RAL, NCS and British Standard, through to the more unusual standards.
