EN-Construction-Product-Urban Seam Façade | Colour range and hand samples
Urban Seam® is manufactured from which uses a 3 layer coating technology to provide the best possible colour protection (from fade) on the market, and has undergone rigorous testing for its resistance to corrosion and uv fade. The 3 layer process has enabled us to supply different colours – matter ‘matts’ and more sparkly ‘metallics’. The new metallic colour names have been named with the prefix ‘Seren’ to give a nod to their Welsh heritage.
Our hand samples can assist in colour selection and finalising product specification.

EN-Construction-Product-Urban Seam Façade | Confidex® Guarantee
For over 25 years the Confidex® Guarantee from Tata Steel has remained best in class.
Confidex® is the product performance guarantee for Colorcoat Prisma® which is used to manufacture the Urban Seam profile. It offers the longest and most comprehensive guarantee for pre-finished steel available in Europe with Colorcoat Prisma® being guaranteed for up to 40 years.
The Confidex® Guarantee is project specific and upon registration provides a contractual relationship between Tata Steel and the building owner meaning that in the case of a claim the contact with Tata Steel is direct rather than having to go through the supply chain, saving time and money.
Due to the superior aesthetic properties of Colorcoat Prisma® a colour guarantee is uniquely included as part of the Confidex® Guarantee for up to 20 years (see terms and conditions). This includes all 29 standard colours in the range, subject to location and use.
The Confidex® Guarantee is transferable, so should the building owner change it is simply a case of filling in the form on the back of the guarantee certificate and posting back to Tata Steel.
