Double sided capability

Colorcoat Prisma® is now available double sided, meaning the same Colorcoat Prisma® topcoat and corrosion resistant primer are applied to the reverse side of the product.

This new option provides the ideal solution for demanding applications where an increased level of protection is required on both sides of the steel substrate.

Any colour from the standard colour card can be specified as the topcoat colour, with RAL 9010 White or RAL 9002 Hamlet available as the standard colour for the reverse coat. Both the topcoat and the reverse coat are a nominal total thickness of 50 microns. Other standard solid colours, RAL 9006 Silver Metallic or RAL 9007 Grey Aluminium may be available for the reverse coat colour.

Rainscreen applications

Double sided Colorcoat Prisma® is ideally suited for rainscreen applications where in addition to the external face and cut edges, increased protection is provided at the reverse side to deal with the micro climate between the rainscreen and the building wall. The reverse colour for this specific application is RAL 9002 Hamlet at a nominal thickness of 35 microns.

Rainwater goods

Double sided pre-finished steel is used extensively in Europe for rainwater goods such as gutters, down pipes and associated accessories.

The availability of double sided Colorcoat Prisma® now allows these rainwater goods to be manufactured from the same product as your building envelope so allowing colour matching to your roof and/or wall cladding.

For a specific warranty for the use of double sided Colorcoat Prisma® for rainscreens please contact the Colorcoat Connection® helpline for further information.
