Architectural Coating Solutions partnered with media city on these louvres at Booths, Media City. The condition of these louvres had deteriorated with time and had become considerably rusty and damaged. The client wanted these to look new again without disrupting the busy street beside it.

Firstly we cordoned off each section at a time we were working on. That way, we could keep our operation to a minimum and keep the public safe by not creating diversions onto the street.

We proceeded to sand back all the metalwork with heavy grit paper whilst grinding out any imperfections along the way. After rubbing the rusty areas, we applied a coating manufactured to stop rust prevention.

Our client wanted the best possible durability; we were advised by our specialist paint technician on what would be most suitable for the job. We applied industrial, marine grade primer, followed by a 3-part system topcoat.

We used cherry pickers and a scaffold for access, and the job took approximately five weeks total.

We proceeded to carry out numerous spraying works on Ravenstone House, Sale. Formally an office block, this building was being refurbished into luxury apartments. Our client wanted the colour from blue to RAL 7016 grey to give the flats a modern feel.

With the existing doors, windows, balconies etc. being damaged, we first had to fill and rub to give the new paint something to grip.

From there, we masked out all windows and brickwork to ensure there would be no overspray. As you can see from the photos, the finish came out smooth and constructed this building stands out for its rebranding.

Our team started work early on a busy morning on Oxford street, Manchester.

Over time the metalwork had deteriorated, and bubbling and rust had occurred all over the shop front. The client wanted the same colour but the shop to have a “brand new look” image again. It also had lots of excessive drill holes and indentations that needed rectifying.

We spent the first day scouring the metalwork to eliminate the rust and bubbling. We also filled unneeded drill holes and dents around the frame. After this, the windows and surrounding areas had to be masked off to stop overspray from occurring. We treated and primed all exposed metalwork areas to ensure the finish would last.

Day 2 consisted of checking over the shop front with the client to ensure he was happy with everything.

Footasylum asked for help to prepare for a re-brand with a new store that was currently all white. We had a fast turn-around with this store, all of which had to be completed within 1 week.

Using the latest airless spray technology to apply a specialist blackout paint to the metal pan ceiling tiles, this paint is a one-coat system that does not require a primer. This makes for faster completion time and is a lot more cost-effective compared to other products on the market.

Respraying the ceiling out of hours due to other work commencing within the store gave flexibility for the client and kept disruption to a minimum.

We then proceeded to apply Tikkurila Optiva 5 via airless spray to all walls.
