What is pre-painted metal?

Pre-painted metal, or coil-coated metal, is a term often used by coil manufacturers, architects, engineers and designers to describe metal substrates, such as steel and aluminum that have been coated or painted with a protective and sometimes decorative finish through the coil coating process.

For metal products, such as pre-painted steel, the metal substrate is painted with coil coatings engineered to meet particular end-use requirements and specifications. The general performance characteristics of the selected metal substrate helps guide coating selection, including surface topography, yield, tensile and elongation (YTE).

The trend toward pre-painted metal continues to grow as manufacturers embrace the many advantages it provides. Pre-painted metal allows design freedom, combining form with function. Almost any color, pattern or texture can be applied to a range of metal substrates, offering a variety of finished aesthetics. 

What is a coil-coated print?

Pre-painted metal prints, or coil-coated prints, are the result of the coil coating process that involves layered inking to create a distinctive decorative finish on the metal substrate. Metal prints and metal patterns, such as faux finish wood grain, patina, stone, Corten steel or weathered rust, are popular examples. As uses for pre-painted metal have diversified throughout the last few decades, coil-coated prints are a popular alternative to substrates such as wood and stone because they can achieve a combination of desired aesthetics and exceptional durability.

Pre-painted coil prints are commonly used in building and architectural applications such as wall panels, roofing and garage doors, but they also appear on appliances and specialty applications like pool liners and metal storage shacks. The coatings or “ink” used to produce the metal pattern finish are engineered for weathering and longevity, enabling pre-painted coil prints to maintain their visual appeal and structural integrity for years. This is one reason why product manufacturers and specifiers may prefer the use of metal products over real wood or stone. Another reason is cost, as metal can often be a more affordable option than other substrates.
