GLOSSARY TERM
UV Resistance
The ability of paint to withstand damage from ultraviolet light.
INFO
What it is
UV resistance is a coating's ability to withstand ultraviolet light from the sun without fading, chalking, or degrading. It reflects how well a finish holds up to sunlight over time.
Why it matters
Sunlight is one of the harshest things a coating faces. Poor UV resistance leads to faded colour and a chalky, tired surface, while good UV resistance keeps a finish looking fresh for years.
Where it is used on a project
Critical on exterior surfaces, particularly south-facing cladding, curtain walling, and shopfronts that take the most direct sun.
How NECC approaches it
For exterior work, we specify coatings with strong UV resistance suited to the exposure, so colour and finish stay true and the surface keeps its appearance.
