Having your building repainted will give it a new lease of life, for an improved professional appearance and representation of your business. When selecting an industrial painter for the job, there are many things to consider to maximise the effectiveness and impact of the new paint, depending on factors such as your location and the industry you’re in. Here are the key steps industrial painters will take and what to check when renovating your building with new paintwork:
The choice of paint is critical not only to the look of your building; it is a vital consideration for your building’s condition. The performance and specific properties of the paint need to best suit the type of building and its needs for your business. You’ll need to consider the paint’s durability and its performance under heat and pressure. Check with your industrial painter what type of paint would be best for the surfaces to be painted, and whether they are experienced in dealing with this type of paint, with the necessary equipment.
If you require metal piping or tanks to be painted, you’ll need to ensure the paint won’t react adversely with the chemicals in the metal and that it is applied in the correct thickness. Industrial paint can be selected to protect metalwork from corrosion caused by external factors, such as pollutants or debris.
If your building is being repainted, it will most likely be your contracted painter's responsibility to clean or remove old coats of paint before applying new layers. The old paint must be removed in order for the new coat to effectively bond to the building’s surfaces. Industrial painters will use methods of paint thinning to rid of the old paint, however this can be challenging depending on its bond to the building and its properties. The painter will need to be aware of the type of paint used for the most efficient thinning solution.
Before the painting process begins, your industrial painter will need to clean the substrate, which is the surface being coated. Cleaning the building of any dirt or residues will ensure that the new paint can be applied evenly and smoothly. It also enables the new industrial paint to bond properly to the surface so that it can perform as best as possible.
