Comprehensive surface protection of steel, aluminum and many other structures is essential if we want to preserve the durability of the finished object for years to come. Prolonged exposure to moisture, changing temperatures, snowfall, as well as the sun can cause unprotected coatings to begin to corrode. This can lead to damage to the load-bearing elements of the structure, as well as negatively affect the aesthetics of, for example, roof sheathing. So let’s find out which specialized coatings are worth using and why fireproofing painting of steel structures really makes sense.
Why are specialty coatings the key to surface durability?
Roof painting services (Silesia) carried out by our company, as well as support in such activities as painting of industrial halls allows you to preserve the durability of any material for a long time. In the case of roof waterproofing, the liquid material forms a protective barrier after a short period of time, which remains durable even for more than 2 decades!
So why invest in specialty coatings for roofs, industrial halls and steel structures? The key advantages are:
- effective protection against the appearance of corrosion,
- resistance to the effects of fire,
- reduced impact of negative weathering on the structure.
In practice, specialty coatings for hydrophobic protection and more are used for, among other things:
- Marine industry – for example, to protect the plating of ships and other structures exposed to salt water and moisture.
- Chemical industry – some tanks are coated with specialized coatings that are chemically resistant.
- Construction industry – mainly for protection of steel structures, e.g. industrial halls, bridges.
Fire protection: how do fireproof coatings work?
The principle is simple. Specialized fireproof coatings used by our company for painting steel structures in Silesia are designed to:
- prevent the occurrence and spread of fires,
- protect the base material from the harmful effects of atmospheric agents,
- reduce the risk of corrosion,
- extend the life of a steel structure or industrial hall.
Protective coatings do a great job of protecting buildings and other structures from exposure to high temperatures. So, when it comes to sandblasting steel structures and their subsequent painting – such measures bring a number of benefits, especially in the industrial and construction sectors.
Corrosion – the biggest enemy of steel: how to effectively prevent it?
As part of our industrial hall painting services in Lesser Poland and protection of steel structures, we make sure that our activities bring the best results in the context of corrosion protection.
To ensure protection against corrosion, it is worthwhile to implement comprehensive painting of steel structures with specialized anti-corrosion paints.
An alternative option is electroplating, that is, galvanizing or chromium plating of individual structural elements.
Both methods have their advantages. In the case of anti-corrosion painting, the key benefits are:
- effectively prevents degradation of steel under environmental conditions,
- provides an aesthetic appearance,
- allows easy repair of damaged pavement,
- generates low costs.
For galvanization of structural components, the biggest advantage is:
- extremely durable protection for many years,
- full resistance to mechanical damage,
- uniform protection even in hard-to-reach areas.
How do you choose the right specialty coatings for your investment?
An inadequate coating can lead to rapid material deterioration and costly repairs. So, when choosing protection for a steel structure:
- Determine the purpose of the surface. Choose different coatings for steel components and others for roof sheathing surfaces.
- Consider humidity, temperatures and exposure to UV radiation or chemicals.
- Membrane waterproofing is ideal for roofs, while anti-corrosion paints are ideal for steel.
When choosing a contractor, be guided by experience, the range of technologies offered and the quality guarantee for the work performed. You can also contact us. We have experience in roof waterproofing and protection of industrial hall structures.
