What is Color-Coated Architectural Jacketing?

Color-Coated Architectural Jacketing is a protective outer layer applied over insulation systems, typically made from pre-finished metal sheets such as aluminum, stainless steel, or galvanized steel. These sheets are factory-coated with durable, UV-resistant color finishes that not only protect the insulation from environmental damage but also add an architectural design element to exposed mechanical systems.

Advantages of Color-Coated Architectural Jacketing

1. Aesthetic Appeal

• Available in a wide range of RAL colors to match corporate branding or architectural design themes.
• Ideal for visible mechanical piping in commercial, hospitality, and high-end industrial facilities.

2. Enhanced Durability

• Color coating provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance.
• Protects against UV degradation, sand abrasion, and harsh weather in the UAE.

3. Long-Term Cost Savings

• Reduces frequency of repainting and maintenance compared to bare metal cladding.
• Extends insulation lifespan by minimizing exposure to environmental stress.

4. Easy Identification

• Color-coding allows for quick identification of service lines -  ideal for oil & gas, HVAC, and power plant applications.

5. Compliance with Safety Standards

• Meets ISO, ASTM, and UAE Civil Defense specifications for mechanical insulation protection.

Applications Across UAE Industries
