Exposed Structural Steel Ceilings
Painting exposed structural steel can be a challenge. We use dry fall of all solvent types to ensure that the steel is properly coated to prevent corrosion. Prepping the surface is of the utmost importance to ensure that the coating properly adheres to the surface. In some cases it can be as simple as a wire brush, others may need to be sandblasted. We will perform an inspection and follow all recommendations to make sure that your project is handled the right way. -
Rusted Steel Prep
Rusted steel like this can be a trouble spot for any industrial repaint project. Proper preparation is the key. We make sure to scrape, sand, or even sandblast all painted surfaces to ensure that the topcoat has a sound surface to adhere to. Along with adhesion issues, this rust will stain and bleed through most coatings if there isn't a proper primer applied. Give us a call so we can inspect your project and let you know where we see these types of issues, it could save you time and money during your next repaint. -
Tank Coatings
We understand the containment, protection, and scheduling needs when it comes to re-coating holding tanks. Epoxy systems should be used to prevent corrosion if at all possible.
