Case Study 61 - Caulking Stained Stainless Steel Building Facade Restoration
|
|
|
|
>> View
Case Study here. |
|
Condition:
This hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee was built thirty years ago. After
years of exposure the exterior stainless steel building facade panels
were dirty, stained, degraded and contaminated from corrosive and
damaging waterborne and airborne contaminants. Compounding the problem was leaching
plasticizers and silicone from the degraded caulking. There had been no
remedial maintenance washing over the life of the building which
contributed to the severity of the contamination. The hospital is a
Class A facility and the unsightly condition of the building facade had
to be remedied. Due to our renowned stainless steel restoration
expertise, our client contracted us to remove the contaminants and
caulking residue returning the stainless steel panels to their original
condition. This stainless steel cleaning program will leave the stainless steel building facade
clean and contaminant free for many years to
come.
York Property Company
Solution:
Cleaning and repairing the damaged and dirty stainless
steel panels required our years of oxidized stainless steel refinishing
and
caulking stained stainless steel restoration experience. As stainless
steel building facade cleaning and stainless steel restoration
specialists we restoration cleaned
the stainless steel building facade cladding panels with our dirty
stainless
steel restoration cleaning and caulking stained refinishing systems.
This program made
the dirty, oxidized and stained building facade panels shine. The
staining, corrosion and silicone caulking residue was expertly removed
as to
not further damage the satin stainless steel finish on the stainless
steel building facade panels. |

|
|
Condition:
The interior Type 304 stainless steel food processing equipment and
stainless steel commercial kitchen appliances at the Shrimp Boat
Restaurant in Panama City, Florida
were scratched, stained, acid etched and damaged by the stainless steel
construction cleaning contractor. Muriatic acid vapor flash rusted all
of the stainless steel surfaces. In an attempt to repair and remove the
rust and damage from the stainless steel the construction cleaning
contractor cross grained and scratched the satin finish on all of the
stainless steel surfaces.
York Property
Company
Solution: As acid etched stainless steel refinishing experts, the General Contractor contracted us to repair,
restore and refinish the damaged stainless steel by removing the
scratches and rust from the finishes. We achieved this with our
stainless steel scratch removal and stainless steel rust removal
program to repair and restore the damage to the new stainless steel
surfaces. We removed the scratches, cleaned, repaired, reconditioned
and refinished the damaged stainless steel kitchen appliances and food processing equipment as if they had not been scratched
or damaged. |

Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
Commerce Court West, designed by world-renown architect I. M. Pei, lies
in the heart of Toronto, Ontario's downtown financial district. When
constructed in 1972, the 57-storey tower was at the time the largest
stainless steel clad building in North America and the tallest building
in Canada. As the years passed, the stainless steel cladding on the
tower became visually displeasing with rust, pitting, dirt and stains.
The color, sheen and luster on the exterior metal panels had been lost
due to pollutants such as automobile exhaust, acid rain, winter salt
and other waterborne and airborne contaminants. A solution was sought
to restore the stainless steel exterior of the prestigious bank tower
in order to return the building to its former glory. This is when York
Property Company accepted the challenge of performing the work
necessary, providing the precision and skill, that would reclaim the
beauty of one of Toronto's crown-jewels.
York Property
Company Solution:
The stainless steel was rusting, pitting, oxidized and extremely
stained. As stainless steel metal reconditioning and refinishing
experts, QuadReal Property Group had confidence we could clean, refurbish, resurface
and restore the stainless steel clad panels and window frames. The
stainless steel restoration cleaning project posed many challenges. The
building is 800 feet tall and working from that height was complex due
to the wind. Our
stainless steel refinishing and restoration system allowed us to clean
and restore the corroded stainless steel metal panels back to the
original sheen, finish and color. |

| Case Study 82 - On-Site Exterior Stainless Steel Sign Refinishing |
|
|
|
>> View
Case Study here. |
|
Condition:
During the renovation and restoration of the Shaw Centre in Ottawa,
Ontario a new street sign was specified as part of the overall project.
A Vancouver, British Columbia fabricator fabricated the stainless steel letters for
the sign and had them shipped unfinished to Ottawa. After the letters
were installed the specification required an imparted #4 brushed
finish. Our firm was contracted to mobilize on-site as the preferred
stainless steel refinishing contractor.
York Property Company Solution:
This project was on a tight deadline. As soon as the letters were
installed the York Property Company technicians starting working. The
specification had us installing a #4 architectural finish; also known
as a brushed, directional or satin finish. Even with the freezing
temperatures, the stainless steel was refinished as required. When the
graining was complete, all the stainless steel sign surfaces looked
new, bright, shiny and were free of welding and fabrication sanding
scratches. |

| Case Study 18 - Removing Rust and Corrosion from Stainless Steel Statues |
|
|
|
>> View
Case Study here. |
|
Condition: After a few
years of
exposure to the sun and rain; rust, corrosion, oxidation and staining
had overtaken the stainless steel statue finishes. A lack of stainless
steel maintenance washing allowed the stainless steel finishes to
weather, get damaged, corrode, oxidize and rust. The original stainless
steel gloss and sheen had worn off and the stainless steel statues had
a layer of corrosion that was unacceptable to the sculptor. The
stainless steel statues needed to be renewed, polished and refinished
to make the stainless steel statues shine with the original stainless
steel satin finish and luster.
York
Property Company Solution:
We were contracted by the sculptor to analyze the sun damaged, rusting
and stained stainless steel statue finishes. With our analysis, testing
and stainless steel remedial maintenance report the sculptor was able
to implement a national long-term stainless steel cleaning, washing and
maintenance program to clean, refurbish and protect the stainless steel
finishes. The stainless steel surface rust, corrosion and staining was
effectively removed and the statues are now clean, restored and
protected. |

The Hospice Care Center is affiliated with the Siskin Hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee. After
years of exposure the exterior stainless steel building facade panels
were dirty, stained, degraded and contaminated from corrosive and

Case Study 58 - Restoring and Protecting
Rusting Stainless Steel Finishes
|
|
 |
|
>> View
Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
The stainless steel window frames and stainless steel doors on this new
Jupiter Island, Florida oceanfront residence are continually exposed to
the sun, humidity, heat, damaging salt water mist and corrosive salt
air. All of these acidic, corrosive and caustic elements are a recipe
for rust, oxidation and corrosion if left on the surface of the
stainless steel. In this damaging and corrosive environment the
stainless steel finish will stain, oxidize, tarnish, pit and rust in a
matter of months. The owners wanted a stainless steel cleaning,
stainless steel washing and stainless steel maintenance specification
to keep the stainless steel window frames and stainless steel doors
from staining, pitting and rusting.
York Property
Company Solution:
They required that the stainless steel clad finishes continually look
new, clean and rust free. As stainless steel rust removal, stainless
steel cleaning and stainless steel restoration specialists we specified
the correct cleaning methods and materials to enable the on-site
maintenance staff to keep the exterior stainless steel window frames
and stainless steel doors clean, protected, stain and rust free from
the caustic environmental elements, salt air, corrosive waterborne and
abrasive airborne pollutants and contaminants associated with an
oceanfront residence. |

| Case Study 56 - Repairing Damaged Stainless Steel Building Facade Panels |
|
|
|
>> View
Case Study here. |
|
Condition:
This particular 5-storey building is a hospital in Chattanooga,
Tennessee. After
years of exposure to corrosive and damaging waterborne and airborne
contaminants the exterior stainless steel building facade panels
were stained, weathered and visually displeasing. The color, sheen and
luster on the stainless steel panels had faded and a solution was
sought to restore the stainless steel to the original luster.
Unfortunately, our client hired a contractor that used the incorrect
methods and materials, a high speed polishing wheel with an abrasive
cutting compound, that scratched the panels leaving uneven abrasion
marks. Regrettably, the contractor did not stop after one panel, the
damage was not noticed until the entire wall was completed leaving an
enormous amount of damage that had to be repaired. It took more than
two years to settle with the contractor that did the damage and then
another year until we were contacted as management at the hospital was
at a loss as to how to proceed. Compounding the problem, during the
three-year time period, there were problems with leaching plasticizers
and silicone from the degraded caulking. After consultation with us and
gaining a complete understanding of our experience and expertise, our
client contracted us to remove the stains and scratches and return the
stainless steel panels to "like new" prestine condition.
York Property Company
Solution:
Removing the stains and scratches from the damaged stainless steel
panels required our decades of weathered stainless steel refinishing
and scratched stainless steel building facade restoration experience.
The repair of the damaged facade panels posed many challanges due to
the type of damage, the number of panels damaged and the overall
surface area. The wall is comprised of 115 facade panels and 106 inner
& outer end caps with a combined total of 4750 sq. ft. As degraded
stainless steel building facade refinishing and scratched stainless
steel restoration specialists, we restoration cleaned the stainless
steel building facade cladding panels first and then regrained the
panels removing the damaging scratches with our scratched stainless
steel refinishing program. These two stainless steel remediation
programs removed the stains, repaired the uneven scratches imparting a
uniform #4 brushed finish. When the project was complete our client was
extremely pleased as the staining, scratches and silicone caulking
residue was expertly removed and the panels are now clean and shiny
with an even grain and original luster.

|
>> View
Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
At the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey new stainless steel
statues were installed in the pool / spa area. The constant temperature
of 90 degrees, chlorine, chemicals and the high humidity of the
corrosive environment had the stainless steel statues stained,
corroding, rusting and pitting in a few months. The rusting, oxidized
and pitted stainless steel metal finish was completely corroded,
unacceptable and an eyesore. The stainless steel required grinding,
stripping and resurfacing.
York Property
Company Solution:
As oxidized and rusting stainless steel contracting specialists we were
contracted to clean, repair and refinish the rust and corrosion damaged
stainless steel finish. We renewed and refurbished the stainless steel
metal finish using our exterior stainless steel reconditioning and
refinishing system. The stainless steel refinishing removed all of the
contaminants, rust, pitting, stains and oxidation. Our clear protective
coating application will stop corrosion damage, rust and pitting from
occurring on the surface of the stainless steel. |

|
>> View
Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
The stainless steel clad
revolving door drum, stainless steel revolving doors and stainless
steel swing doors on all twenty-six entrances had oxidized, pitted and
started rusting. The aged, winter salt damaged, sun and UV weathered
and faded lacquer wore out and was cracking, peeling and wearing off
the stainless steel finishes. The exposed stainless steel was rusting
and pitting. The doors and door handles with human contact were
scratched and stained. On-site stainless steel refinishing was required
to remove the scratches and rust from the stainless steel.
York Property
Company Solution: The stainless steel refinishing, stainless steel
repair and stainless steel restoration was completed on the weekend
over many months. After the failed lacquer was removed we got the rust,
corrosion, oxidation, pitting and scratches off the stainless steel
satin finish. We then spray applied a fresh coat of lacquer to protect
the stainless steel from salt, rust, oxidation, pollutants, stains and
wear and tear. The stainless steel revolving doors and stainless steel
entrance doors are now clean, refurbished, restored and reconditioned. |

>> View
Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
The architectural stainless steel railings at Johnson and Johnson in
Morris Plains, New Jersey were rusting, oxidized, weathered and
pitting. Corrosion, staining and tarnish had overtaken the stainless
steel railing finishes. A lack of stainless steel maintenance washing
allowed the stainless steel finish to wear out, get old, get salt
damaged, corrode, oxidize and rust. The original stainless steel gloss
and sheen had worn off and the stainless steel had an iron oxide brown
patina. The stainless steel needed to be renewed, polished, resurfaced
and refinished to make the stainless steel railings shine and have the
original factory stainless steel satin finish and luster.
York Property
Company Solution:
We removed the stainless steel rust, repaired the stainless steel
damage and restored the stainless steel railing finishes over a weekend
when the building was closed. To complete the stainless steel
refinishing and stainless steel restoration project we had to get the
rust off the stainless steel and remove the corrosion, patina,
scratches and stains. The stainless steel surface rust, corrosion,
pitting and discoloration required our stainless steel rust removal and
stainless steel metal refinishing systems to achieve the desired satin
stainless steel surface finish and color depth. As stainless steel
cleaning, stainless steel refinishing and stainless steel maintenance
experts the stainless steel railings are now clean, rejuvenated,
restored and protected. |

panels on this San Jose, California entertainment complex had degraded
from ten years of exposure to the sun, waterborne and airborne
contaminants and pollutants. The stainless steel cladding was dirty,
stained, oxidized, pitting, rusting and corroded. Ownership wanted the
curtain wall stainless steel cladding panels clean, repaired and
refurbished.
York Property
Company
Solution:
As stainless steel metal cladding and curtain wall metal restoration
specialists we specified the correct stainless steel restoration
cleaning methods and
materials and were contracted to restore the stainless steel clad
curtain wall to the original luster for the building's ten year
anniversary. The stainless steel panels are now clean, repaired and
protected from any further environmental damage. |

|
|
Condition:
The new stainless steel 24 gauge 304 2-B roof panels, stainless steel
gutters and stainless steel down spouts on this Longboat Key, Florida
oceanfront residence were contaminated, stained, oxidized and rusting.
The stainless steel was not washed prior to it being shipped to the job
site. Stainless steel manufacturing particulate and stainless steel
fabrication debris was embedded in the stainless steel finish. When the
stainless steel was exposed to humidity, salt water mist and corrosive
salt air the iron oxide on the stainless steel surface discolored and
started rusting. If the stainless steel was not cleaned immediately,
the stainless steel surface finish would pit and rust beyond repair.
York Property
Company
Solution: The manufacturer requested that we clean and
refurbish the Type 304 stainless steel roof panels, stainless steel
gutters and stainless steel down spouts. As stainless steel rust
removal, oxidized stainless steel refinishing and discolored stainless
steel restoration specialists we removed the rust, washed away the
damaging contaminants and got the corrosive stainless steel fabrication
particulate out of the stainless steel finish. The stainless steel in
now clean and rust free. The caustic and acidic materials that were
embedded in the stainless steel finish were removed and the stainless
steel is now protected from the caustic environmental elements, salt
air / salt water, waterborne and airborne pollutants and corrosive
contaminants. |

Condition:
The exterior stainless steel metal storefront, stainless steel window
frames and stainless steel siding panels on the Adidas, USA building
facade in Spartanburg, South Carolina were stained, rusting, oxidized and bleached from years of
exposure to damaging elements and a lack of routine maintenance
washing. The unsightly damage to the stainless steel panels required
our stainless steel metal refinishing expertise and stainless steel
rust removal program. Our client wanted the caulking and silicone
stained stainless steel repaired, clean and rust free for many years to
come.
York Property
Company
Solution: Cleaning and repairing the damaged stainless
steel panels required our years of stainless steel refinishing and
restoration experience. As oxidized stainless steel cleaning and
rusting stainless steel restoration specialists we cleaned and restored
the stainless steel building facade cladding panels with our stainless
steel restoration cleaning, rust and scratch removal systems. This made
the dirty, dull, rusting, faded and corroded building shine. The rust,
staining, pitting, corrosion and oxidation was carefully removed as to
not further damage the satin stainless steel finish on the stainless

Condition:
The exterior polished stainless steel column covers on the ATI
Technologies Inc. building in Markham, Ontario were damaged, stained, visually displeasing
and rusting. The stainless steel clad column covers were in need of
oxidized stainless steel cleaning, stainless steel rust removal and
stained stainless steel refinishing. Without this stainless steel rust
removal program and stainless steel refinishing the exterior stainless
steel column covers would degrade further to a point beyond repair.
York Property

refinishing system as the best course of action. Over a weekend, to not
interrupt building activity, we cleaned, repaired and restored the
stainless steel column covers to the original manufacturer's
specification. Our spray applied clear protective coating will protect
and maintain the integrity of the silver gray colored stainless steel
cladding from airborne and waterborne caustic pollutants and
contaminants. |

 |
|
>> View
Case Study here.
|
|
Condition: The
architectural metals
on this commercial building in Mississauga, Ontario are horizontal
anodized aluminum panels and stainless steel mullions. The anodized
aluminum was stained and severely oxidized. The stainless steel was
corroding, discolored and starting to rust as it had not been
maintained since the building was new. The anodized aluminum and
stainless steel weathering, oxidation and corrosion was caused by years
of exposure to waterborne pollutants, airborne contaminants, window
cleaning chemicals and UV exposure. Cleaning, refurbishing and
restoring the old, dirty and aged anodized aluminum and stainless steel
was required.
York Property
Company Solution: This building is the head office
of a commercial real estate development company and the condition of
the curtain wall anodized aluminum and stainless steel was
unacceptable. The oxidized anodized aluminum and the corroded stainless
steel made the building look old and visually displeasing. Ownership
specified that we clean and restore the anodized aluminum and stainless
steel panels to like new. We were able to remove the corrosion and rust
from the stainless steel and get the oxidation and discoloration off of
the anodized aluminum. Our exterior architectural metal refinishing
systems provided the results our client expected. |
