Reactive Maintenance

Reactive maintenance is the response to a maintenance need that is visually apparent. 

The disadvantage of this model is that preventable permanent damage to the cladding may already have occurred. A proactive scheduled maintenance approach is preferable to achieve optimal life cycle costs of the cladding.

Spray cans should not be used for repairing scratches on pre-painted cladding. Minor surface scratches are best left because they become less noticeable as the coating weathers. If the scratch cannot be seen from the ground, it should be left alone.
