GLOSSARY TERM

Sacrificial Coating

A temporary coating applied to protect the underlying surface, intended to be removed and replaced as needed.

INFO

What it is

A sacrificial coating is a temporary protective layer designed to take the damage in place of the surface beneath. It is worn away or removed and then reapplied, sparing the underlying finish.

Why it matters

By taking the hit instead of the permanent surface, a sacrificial coating protects valuable finishes and makes cleaning and maintenance simpler and cheaper over time.

Where it is used on a project

Common in anti-graffiti systems, where the sacrificial layer is washed off along with the graffiti and a fresh layer applied, and in some protective applications.

How NECC approaches it

Where a surface needs repeatable protection, we can apply sacrificial systems and advise on their upkeep, protecting the finish beneath with minimal fuss.
