Preparation: Inspect surfaces: Ensure surfaces are free of dirt, moisture and cracks. Repair any damage or problems with surfaces before starting paint. Cleaning: Clean surfaces thoroughly using soapy water or special cleaners to remove dirt, algae and fungus. Preparation: Covering non-painted surfaces, such as windows and doors, with protective lids or adhesive tape.
Selection and processing of paint: Paint selection: choosing the type of paint suitable for climatic conditions and surface type. Exterior coatings are usually weathering and corrosion resistant. Preparation: Mix the paint well to obtain a uniform consistency. Dilution of the coating may be required with a custom solvent as instructed.
Application: Preliminary application: applying a primer coat of paint (foundation) to ensure that the finished coating adheres well. Finishing layers: After the base layer has dried, apply the final layers of paint. It is preferable to use brushes or rolls to distribute the paint evenly.
Drying and finishing: Time: Wait until the paint is completely dry between each layer according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Inspection: After the paint dries, inspect the work to make sure there are no defects
Maintenance: Regular maintenance: Carry out periodic maintenance of the exterior paint, such as cleaning surfaces and repairing any cracks or corrosion that may occur over time. Inspection: Conduct regular inspections to ensure the integrity of the paint and carry out restoration when needed. Additional tips: Paint Choice: It is preferable to choose a high-quality exterior coating that provides good protection from weather factors such as sun and rain. Weather conditions: Avoid painting in inappropriate weather conditions, such as very hot days or high humidity, as this can affect the quality of the paint. By following these steps and considerations, it is possible to obtain an exterior paint that improves the appearance of the building and enhances its lifespan.
What is the policy?
Material selection: Coating quality: Use a high-quality exterior coating that complies with the performance standards necessary to resist weather conditions, such as moisture and UV rays. Paint type: Choose the appropriate type of paint for the surface type (such as concrete, wood, or metal) and its compatibility with local climatic conditions.
Preparation of surfaces: Surface cleaning: Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned of dirt, oil, fungi, and algae. Special cleaning agents or pressure washers can be used as needed. Surface repair: Address any surface defects, such as cracks or openings, with appropriate repair materials before painting begins. Paint preparation: mix the paint well and follow the manufacturer’s instructions on dilution if necessary.
Application Procedure: Initial application: Applying a primer to ensure the adhesion of the finished coating. It is preferable to use a primer that is compatible with the type of paint that will be applied. Finishing layers: Apply the exterior paint evenly, following the number of layers specified in the manufacturer’s recommendations for good coverage. Application in suitable conditions: Avoid painting in extreme weather conditions, such as very high or low temperatures, or in times of high humidity.
Maintenance and care: Regular maintenance: Perform regular maintenance of the exterior coating, such as cleaning and checking surfaces regularly to address any issues that may arise. Paint repair: Treat any wear or damage to the coating promptly to avoid exacerbating problems.
Compliance with standards: Compliance with regulations: Ensure compliance with all local standards and laws related to paint, including the use of materials that do not adversely affect the environment. Safety standards: Follow the necessary safety procedures during the painting process, such as the use of personal protective equipment and the application of safety rules on site.
Inspection and quality: Quality check: Conduct periodic inspections to ensure that the paint has been applied correctly and is free from defects. Reports: Document any problems that may arise during or after the application, and prepare reports to assess the quality of work and improve future operations.
Environmental considerations: Choosing environmentally friendly materials: The use of environmentally friendly coatings minimizes negative impacts on the environment and the health of individuals. Waste Disposal: Follow correct procedures to dispose of materials and waste resulting from the painting process in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
