REFURBISHING LOGISTICS FACILITIES: ENHANCING PERFORMANCE THROUGH TARGETED UPGRADES
As the logistics sector continues to evolve in response to rising e-commerce demand and sustainability targets, refurbishing existing facilities has become a strategic imperative. Rather than investing in costly new builds, many operators are turning to technical refurbishment to extend the life, efficiency, and compliance of their assets.
A prime example is the refurbishment of a logistics facility in East Kilbride, undertaken by one of our expert teams at Cladding Coatings. The site, a large-scale distribution centre, had suffered from significant weathering and corrosion to its metal cladding. Rather than replacing the panels – a disruptive and expensive process – the team opted for an on-site spraying solution using a high-performance elastomeric coating system. This approach not only restored the building’s appearance but also provided long-term protection against UV degradation and water ingress, extending the cladding’s lifespan by at least 10 years.
Another case involved a logistics hub in the Midlands, where rooflight panels had become brittle and discoloured, reducing natural light and increasing energy consumption. Rather than full roof replacement, the refurbishment team installed new GRP rooflights and applied a cut-edge corrosion treatment to the surrounding sheeting laps. This not only improved internal lighting conditions but also enhanced thermal performance and reduced the risk of water ingress at vulnerable junctions.
These examples highlight the technical depth and strategic value of refurbishment. Key benefits include:
☑ Minimised operational downtime through non-intrusive application methods.
☑ Improved thermal efficiency and reduced energy costs.
☑ Extended asset life without the environmental impact of demolition and rebuild.
☑ Enhanced compliance with health and safety regulations, particularly around roof access and fall protection.
In a sector where uptime, efficiency, and sustainability are paramount, refurbishing logistics facilities offers a technically robust and commercially viable path forward. With the right expertise and materials, ageing infrastructure can be transformed into high-performing assets fit for the future.
Our expert application teams have refurbished a wide range of properties across the UK for over a decade. We offer a free no obligation quotation and site survey to make suitable recommendations for your building’s needs.
Technical considerations were central to the project’s success. Surface preparation involved pressure washing and manual abrasion
to ensure optimal adhesion. The coating system
selected was a solvent-based polyurethane, chosen for its flexibility, durability, and compatibility with the existing substrate. Application was carried out using specialist spray equipment, allowing for a uniform finish across large surface areas with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
