Architectural & Decorative Coatings
Manufactured in South Africa
The South African construction and renovation market requires paint products that perform under intense UV radiation, wide temperature ranges, and varying humidity conditions — from coastal KwaZulu-Natal to the dry Highveld interior. Specialized Coating Systems (SCS) manufactures a full architectural and decorative coatings range at our Boksburg facility, formulated specifically for Southern African conditions.
Our architectural range includes interior and exterior wall paints for new construction and renovation projects, protective roof coatings (including cool roof systems and asbestos encapsulation coatings), high-quality door and trim enamels in water-based formulations, ceiling paints including anti-condensation solutions and stain-blocking primers, and wood sealers for decking, flooring, and outdoor furniture.
We also produce specialist coatings that go beyond standard decorative finishes: anti-graffiti systems that protect public infrastructure and enable easy removal of vandalism, anti-microbial coatings that inhibit bacteria, yeast, and fungi growth on interior and exterior surfaces, and surface preparation products including primers, patching compounds, and skimming materials for proper substrate preparation.
As a manufacturer, SCS controls formulation, quality, and production in-house. This means architects, contractors, and property developers can access custom colour matching, technical application support, and consistent product quality — backed by a company that makes the paint, not just sells it.
Our architectural coatings are specified for residential, commercial, and institutional projects across South Africa where durability, aesthetic finish, and documented performance matter.
