Dry Film Thickness (DFT) is one of the most important measurements in commercial painting, and often one of the least discussed.
After a commercial coating has fully cured, "Dry Film Thickness" refers to the thickness of that protective coating. While it may seem like a small detail, it plays a major part in how well the paint system protects a building from moisture, UV exposure, corrosion, and everyday wear. If a coating is applied too thin or too thick, it may not perform as intended.
