SURFACE PREPARATION
In order to provide for a
durable and lasting finish, proper surface preparation is
required. Our attention-to-detail begin with...
•
Cleaning, using environmentally-safe chemicals
• Removal of dirt, atmospheric and manufacturing contaminants,
loose paint, rust, or graffiti
• Using Sanding Disks, Needle Guns, Roto-peening Tools
Especially on exterior
jobs, we make sure all necessary conditions for applying coatings
follow the coating manufacturer's specifications, such as...
• Air Temperature
– Temperature cannot be too cold or too hot, even though current
coatings can be applied with temperatures as low as 35ºF
• Surface Temperatures & Humidity –
affect how the paint will adhere and dry
• Wind Conditions – Even when using
roller applications, over-spray is always a concern, so to
ensure a professional paint job, we sometimes have to delay a
job until the winds calm down.
• Film Thickness – it is critically
important to the success of any coating project that the coating
should be installed or applied with the manufacturer's specified
film thickness which is measured in mils, which can range from 4
to 60 mils, depending upon material selection.
PAINTING
We take some extra steps
to ensure that our spray application equipment is properly
maintained, our painters well-trained and experienced with the
following equipment...
•
Conventional Air Sprayers
• Airless Sprayers
• Air-assisted Sprayers
• Electrostatic Spray Paint
• Plural Component Spray Equipment
• HVLP (high-volume low-pressure) Equipment
When applying paint, our
experienced painters are highly-skilled in conventional coating
application methodology, such as brushing and rolling.
Furthermore, we constantly monitoring weather conditions. More
importantly, we ensure that the paint is applied at the proper
film thickness. Using wet film gauges, we take regular readings to
ensure the paint is being applied at the manufacturer's specified
thickness. If the coating is too thin, it will not afford the
proper protection, while coatings that are too thick can cause
cracking and peeling.
Employing the proper
coating system on a specific substrate, such as concrete or metal,
is critical to the life span of the coating. Especially when there
are environmental and/or ambient conditions affecting the coating
types, such as...
•
Alkyds / Oil-based Paints
• Epoxies (polyamides, polyamines, novalacs)
• Polyurethanes (catalyzed, aliphatic, acrylics)
• Polyureas
• 100% Solids Epoxy Applications
• Zinc-rich Coatings
Of course, many jobs
still require the use of conventional application methodology,
such as a paintbrush or rollers. To assure that we always use the
proper high-quality rollers (mohair, ½-inch, ¾-inch, 1-¼ inch),
all depend on the particular paint type being applied.
ELEVATED WORK PLATFORMS
Master Painters
Canada is experienced,
and equipped for working with swing stages, aerial lifts, and
temporary tower scaffolding, which means that there is no
structure we cannot access.
A swing-stage is an
elevated work platform that is supported by suspension lines, and
is used primarily on high-rise buildings. Safety beams and
counterweights are used to suspend our scaffold from the roof, and
the platform is then raised and lowered with automatic hoisting
equipment.
Aerial lifts can have
articulated swing arms, telescoping elevation devices, and
moveable bases, enabling them to reach nearly any part of a
building. When positioning the lifts, we lay down a 1-inch thick
plywood path to protect any landscaping from the weight of the
equipment.
We can erect a temporary
tower scaffolding structure for elevated work. This option is
available for large indoor and outdoor projects where, due to
obstruction or architectural inaccessibility, aerial lifts cannot
be used.
