DriSilane protective coatings such as ReCote is one of many roof coating systems we use here at D&D Coatings. We are approved contractors for DriSilane and have built up a solid working relationship with the company’s founders Chris Brandrick and Peter Finch. But who are DriSilane and what products do they produce. Read on to find out more.
About DriSilane®
DriSilane® Ltd was founded in 2021 by Chris Brandrick and Peter Finch, though their professional relationship dates back to 1996. Chris spent 15 years at British Steel, working on coil coating lines and studying corrosion effects on profiled steel sheeting. In 1996, he teamed up with Peter to establish a refurbishment business to serve the industry. Today, DriSilane specializes in developing advanced protective coatings at their Swansea facility, providing solutions for steel buildings across the UK, Ireland and Europe.
DriSilane protective coatings systems
DriSilane® coatings, such as ReCote which we recently installed at a large refurbishment project in Essex, are designed for different roof restoration needs. ReCote is a cost-effective solution for repainting the weathered sides of steel roof sheets, applying a single coat of DriSilane® Elite, a hybrid polymer with a 25-year performance warranty. Other systems include ReCote for cut-edge protection, RePower for preparing roofs for solar panel installations, and ReGlaze for refurbishing rooflights.
