Painting and glazing

NACE code 43.34 covers the painting and glazing industry, which plays a vital role in the construction and renovation of buildings. This industry is responsible for the application of paints, varnishes, and other coatings to both interior and exterior surfaces, as well as the installation and repair of glass windows, mirrors, and other glazed structures. As a key component of the broader construction sector, the painting and glazing industry contributes to the aesthetic appeal, protection, and functionality of buildings, making it an essential part of the built environment.

The main production techniques used in the painting and glazing industry involve the preparation of surfaces, the application of coatings, and the installation or repair of glazed elements. Surface preparation may include cleaning, sanding, and priming to ensure proper adhesion of the paint or other coatings. Painting techniques can vary from manual brushing and rolling to more advanced spray application methods. Glazing work typically involves the cutting, fitting, and securing of glass panels or other transparent materials into frames or openings.

The primary inputs required for the painting and glazing industry include paints, varnishes, solvents, and other coating materials, as well as glass, sealants, and various tools and equipment. Specialized machinery, such as spray guns and power sanders, may also be necessary for more efficient and high-quality work. Additionally, skilled labor, including painters, glaziers, and surface preparation technicians, is a crucial input for this industry.

The main outputs of the painting and glazing industry are the finished, coated surfaces and installed glazed elements in buildings. These outputs are then consumed by other NACE codes, such as 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 43.31 Plastering, and 43.39 Other building completion and finishing, as they contribute to the overall construction, renovation, and maintenance of the built environment.
