Life cycle analysis and Colorcoat®

Some important conclusions can be drawn from using the LCA model for pre-finished steels, such as:

• The durability of a product will always affect the results of LCA because of the environmental impact of maintenance. Over 40 years of development makes Colorcoat® products the most advanced pre-finished steels available with the most comprehensive and extensive guarantees of long-term durability.
• The environmental impact of the coating during manufacture is minimal compared with the overall construction process and the building’s full lifetime. All Colorcoat® products perform well when compared with other pre-finished steels and the extra durability of high-build coatings has a greater positive impact than the extra resources required to make the thicker paint films.
