It may sound odd, but did you know you should paint your warehouse ceiling on a regular basis? Warehouse ceilings need to be painted often for structure preservation and adequate lighting. The paint on the ceiling is like a sealant. It keeps environmental damages from happening, such as rain and water damage or damage from excess heat or cold. Painted ceilings will also help with visibility in the warehouse.
You should consider hiring someone trained in steel roof painting to paint your warehouse ceiling. Our company, Industry Painting, Ltd., is trained to paint steel warehouses and other steel buildings. We know the proper preparation methods and materials that must be used to paint warehouse ceilings.
Here are some important things to remember when it comes to panting warehouse ceilings:
1. Know what type of material your ceiling is made of.
2. Coating requirements differ dramatically depending on the type of industry in the building.
3. Extensive knowledge of surface preparation and paint coatings is vital.
4. Cheap materials wear out quicker.
Ceiling Material Types
Different types of metal decking react either negatively or positively to different types of paint. Incorrect paint application can cause catastrophic failure in your ceiling that may not show up until years after your warranty date. This is because chemical reactions happen over a long period of time. The last thing you want is the roof of your warehouse caving in and destroying your inventory. At Industry Painting, Ltd., we know what type of paint to use for industrial ceiling painting.
Coating Requirements
Most steel ceilings can be coated with Dryfall, but some ceilings shouldn’t be. Dryfall cannot protect ceilings that are exposed to high humidity or chemicals used in a business’s manufacturing process.
Surface Preparation
In order to preserve the life of your warehouse ceiling, you must work with someone that is knowledgeable about proper surface preparation. Our team will prepare your ceiling properly with surface preparation methods like sandblasting, specialized cleaning, and even specialty coatings. Your steel roof painting will last a long time if you work with us.
Cheap Materials Won’t Last
While using cheap paints and coatings for industrial ceiling painting may save you money in materials, it will cost you in quality. Cheaper materials don’t last as long as other, more expensive materials. Paint will dull quicker, especially white which fades to off-white or yellow. If you want your warehouse to look more professional, working with an industrial painting company is the way to go. We don’t settle for cheap materials because we want you to be satisfied!
