There is nothing that looks more beautiful on a facility then a standing seam metal roof but there isn’t anything else that fails like a metal roof. Without proper prep work, appropriate primers and quality finish coating you are asking for trouble!
When our client took over a competitors facilities that had an incorrect color scheme to their roofs, their first call was to National Coating Solutions. Our relationship with our client dates back several years when a competitor failed miserably in painting roofs only to have them peel within one year. Our resolution of that situation and the continued exceptional performance by National Coating Solutions has only strengthened our client/vendor relationship. Which is why when our client had another round of standing seam roofs to paint they knew exactly who to contact for a complete assessment of current conditions and the best procedures for completing the project.
National Coating Solutions knows that it’s all in the details and that the prep work would be the key to providing a long lasting quality finish. After the roofs were sanded and cleaned a high quality specially formulated primer was applied to provide a tightly bonded surface ready for its finish coat. National Coating Solutions applied a high performance industrial coating capable of withstanding the fluctuating temperatures and fading from the Sun all the while retaining is gloss.
SCOPE OF WORK:
1. Survey project to determine age, condition, and material type.
2. Schedule project to work around customer traffic.
3. Prep and clean all surfaces.
4. Prime entire roof to ensure proper adhesion.
5. Finish coat roof with high performance industrial coating that will provide a durable quality finish that will last for years.
CHALLENGES:
1. Coordinating work during business hours.
2. Trying to work on a steep angle roof that when wet is very slippery.
3. Completing work within project deadline while dealing with weather.
4. Providing a high quality finish that doesn’t peel, fade and has good gloss retention.
SOLUTIONS:
1. Special precautions had to be taken to ensure the safety of the customers as well as the integrity of the project.
2. Articulating Boom lifts were brought in so that crews were able to reach all corners of the roof.
3. Projects were scheduled when weather conditions were favorable so as to avoid any issues.
4. Our team of experts and our relationships with our paint vendors has allowed National Coating Solutions to always be up to date on the latest coatings technology. This means we are able to provide our clients with systems that will withstand the test of time.
