GLOSSARY TERM
Topcoat
The final layer of paint that provides the desired appearance and protection.
INFO
What it is
The topcoat is the final layer in a coating system. It delivers the colour, sheen, and appearance you see, and forms the outer layer of protection against the elements and wear.
Why it matters
As the visible, weather-facing layer, the topcoat is what the finish is judged on and the first line of defence for the coats beneath. Its quality and application define the whole result.
Where it is used on a project
Applied last, over primer and any base or undercoats, across all coated surfaces from cladding and curtain walling to interior elements.
How NECC approaches it
We spray topcoats to a smooth, even, mark-free finish, completing each system to specification so the surface looks excellent and is well protected for the long term.
