Case Study 27 -
Faded and Oxidized Anodized Aluminum Panel Restoration
|
|
 |
|
|
>> View
Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
From thirty-five years of exposure this low-rise strip industrial
building in Houston, Texas had oxidized clear anodized aluminum metal
panels, stained anodized aluminum doors and sun faded and bleached
anodized aluminum storefront window frames. All of the exterior
anodized aluminum finishes were stained, corroded, pitting and
oxidized. The silver colored anodized aluminum surface finishes were
never washed by rain water and the anodized aluminum finish had
oxidized and degraded prematurely. The anodized aluminum clad building
was for sale and the anodized aluminum building facade needed to look
new, reconditioned and clean again.
York Property
Company Solution:
The owners requested that we clean and restore the oxidized anodized
aluminum building facade panels and bleached anodized aluminum
storefront window frames. As oxidized, weathered, dull and aged
anodized aluminum refinishing experts, with our anodized aluminum
restoration system we were able to refinish, restore and protect the
anodized aluminum window frame and metallic anodized aluminum panel
finishes. When the anodized aluminum refinishing project was complete
the anodized aluminum shined with the original factory gloss and sheen. |

|
Condition:
The dark bronze anodized aluminum building facade panels on the
Kimberly-Clark Research & Engineering
building in Neenah, Wisconsin were lacquered after they were installed
on the building. The contractor used the incorrect methods and
materials and over time the lacquer coating on the anodized aluminum
panels started peeling. Cushman & Wakefield, the property
management company, contacted us to strip the lacquer and restore the
anodized aluminum panels to the original luster. The building is
a Class A facility and the unsightly condition of the building facade
had to be remedied. The old weathered lacquer had to be removed. Due to
our renowned anodized aluminum restoration expertise, Cushman &
Wakefield
contracted us to remove the failing lacquer and return the anodized
aluminum panels to their original condition.
York Property Company Solution:
To refurbish and recondition the weathered and faded anodized aluminum panels we had to chemically strip the lacquer
off the anodized aluminum finish without damaging the brown anodic
layer. Removing the lacquer was time consuming and required our skill,
expertise and experience as commercial anodized aluminum panel
restoration contracting specialists. If the panels were
bleached, burned, acid etched or scratched the anodized
aluminum would have to be replaced. The anodized aluminum
reconditioning program got the lacquer off of the anodized aluminum
panels safely and refurbished the anodized aluminum dark brown
color and satin finish. |

|
Condition:
The exterior clear anodized aluminum panels on the North Carolina
Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina were faded, stained,
discolored
and oxidized. Our client, the State of North Carolina, had not remedial
maintenance washed the
anodized aluminum clad panels since they were
new. The anodized aluminum panel finishes aged and degraded from
exposure to caustic pollutants, acid rain, the sun, hard water spots
and caustic calcium mineral deposits. The lack of anodized aluminum
washing, care or maintenance caused the anodized aluminum metal finish
to prematurely bleach, corrode, stain, pit and oxidize. Facility
management saw the results of not caring for,
maintaining or washing the anodized aluminum panels and
contacted us for our anodized aluminum restoration and preservation
expertise.
York Property Company Solution:
Our anodized aluminum Technical Consulting Division was contracted to
analyze the degraded exterior anodized aluminum Class
I clear anodic finishes. We found excessive staining, corrosion,
oxidation and anodic finish failure on the majority of the anodized
aluminum panel surfaces. With the findings of our anodized
aluminum surface testing and analysis a long-term anodized aluminum
cleaning, washing and maintenance program was initiated to restore,
protect and preserve the clear anodized aluminum panel system. When
the anodized aluminum panel cleaning, repair, restoration and
protection program was complete the anodized aluminum clad panels
looked clean, fresh and new with the original factory gloss and
sheen. |

>> View
Case Study here. |
|
Condition:
The commercial bronze anodized aluminum window frames on this
industrial building in Clearwater, Florida were painted after they were
installed on the building. Over time the brown paint coating on the
anodized aluminum window frames got chalky and the pigment faded. The
old weathered paint had to be removed. The new owner of the building
wanted the anodized aluminum window frames to be restored to the
original luster of new brown colored anodized aluminum. If the anodized
aluminum was not coated once it was clean and refurbished the anodized
aluminum and anodic layer would bleach, stain, acid etch and oxidize.
To maintain the integrity of the brown colored bronze anodic finish
ownership requested the anodized aluminum storefront window frames be
coated and protected with the York Property Company anodized aluminum
clear protective coating.
York Property
Company
Solution:
To refurbish and recondition the weathered and faded anodized aluminum
window frames we had to chemically strip the paint off the anodized
aluminum finish without damaging the brown anodic layer. Removing the
paint was time consuming and required our skill, expertise and
experience as commercial anodized aluminum window frame restoration
contracting specialists. If the window frames were bleached, burned,
acid etched or scratched the anodized aluminum would have to be painted
again. The anodized aluminum reconditioning program got the paint off
of the anodized aluminum window frames safely and refurbished the
anodized aluminum dark brown color and finish. The anodized aluminum
protective coating enhanced the reflective sheen and gloss while
protecting the anodized aluminum from the sun, mineral deposits,
calcium stains and caustic airborne contaminants. |

|
Condition: The old exterior clear
anodized aluminum window frames on this commercial building in Austin,
Texas displayed severe discoloration, oxidation, staining and corrosion
from fifty-five years of weathering and a lack of preventive
maintenance washing. There were marks, dings, scuffs and scrapes from
the years of the window cleaning contractor repelling the side of the
building. The factory anodized aluminum window frame finish lost the
original sheen, gloss, color depth and luster. The new owners of the
building wanted to improve the appearance, renew, brighten, refurbish
and protect the commercial grade anodized aluminum window frames.
Anodized aluminum window frame refinishing will protect and preserve
the exterior anodized aluminum finishes from weathering, pollutants,
contaminants, hard water stains, mold, mildew and the corrosive
damaging elements.
York Property Company Solution:
To clean, repair, renew and protect the anodized aluminum window frame
surface finishes from further oxidation, corrosion, pitting and
deterioration we cleaned and refurbished the original silver gray
colored anodized finish with our oxidized anodized aluminum cleaning
and renovation system. Without painting, our oxidized anodized aluminum
window frame refinishing and refurbishing program returned the anodized
aluminum window frame factory finish to as good as new and now protects
the anodized finish from weathering, pitting, oxidation and corrosion.
The anodized aluminum window frame finishes have the original satin
sheen, rich color depth and gloss and are protected from further
damage, oxidation and corrosion. |

Condition:
This clear anodized aluminum clad building is located in downtown
Toronto, Ontario. Automobile exhaust, street grime, winter salt, pollution, dirt
and chemicals had attacked the anodized aluminum finishes. The silver
gray anodized aluminum column cover cladding was dirty, stained,
oxidized and contaminated. The anodized aluminum was never cleaned or
maintenance washed properly to remove all of the corrosive particulate
that had accumulated on the anodized aluminum surfaces. To improve the
appearance of the anodized aluminum, management wanted the anodized
aluminum cleaned and washed. As well, the anodized aluminum finishes
had to be protected from winter salt damage, pollution, dirt and street
level grime.
York Property Company Solution:
The anodized aluminum commercial building column cover cladding
required our dirty anodized aluminum metal cleaning and stained
anodized aluminum refinishing expertise to clean, refurbish and restore
the anodized aluminum column covers to the original satin sheen, silver
metallic color, gloss and luster while maintaining the integrity of the
anodized aluminum metal finish for years to come. This involved
repairing the damaged, resurfacing the oxidized and restoring the faded
anodized aluminum factory finish. Once the anodized aluminum
restoration was complete we spray applied our anodized aluminum lacquer
coating to protect the anodized aluminum cladding panels from
corrosion, salt water residue, UV damage, pollutants, weathering and

Condition:
This thirty-seven year old industrial building in Houston, Texas had
dirty smog stained clear anodized aluminum building facade metal
panels, stained anodized aluminum doors and faded black anodized
aluminum window frames due to continuous exposure to the South Texas
environment of heat, humidity, sun and UV exposure which caused the
panels to age, deteriorate and bleach considerably. The exterior
stained, sun faded, dull and oxidized natural colored anodized aluminum
panels, window frames and doors looked dirty, prematurely old and no
longer clean. Facility management requested that the anodized aluminum
be cleaned, refurbished and protected from further damage.
York Property Company Solution:
This specific anodized aluminum restoration project had many challenges
as the industrial building was a depot for a large furniture
manufacturing company and at all times during the day all fifty-two
loading bays were in use. The exterior anodized aluminum building
components were cleaned, repaired and restored with our sun damaged
exterior anodized aluminum cleaning and oxidized anodized aluminum
refinishing system. The silver metallic Alucobond anodized aluminum was
restoration cleaned and the metal panels were coated with the specified
clear protective coating. With the anodized aluminum surfaces now
clean, the coating will preserve and protect the anodic layer from

|
|
Condition:
A lack of washing the exterior dark bronze anodized aluminum cladding,
siding panels and window frames on this twenty-three year old owner
occupied commercial building in Park Ridge, New Jersey caused the anodized
aluminum to bleach, stain, acid etch and oxidize. Without washing the
anodized aluminum it aged from exposure to airborne and waterborne
contaminants, pollutants, acid rain, sun damage and UV exposure. The
lack of maintenance washing contributed to the corrosion and pitting on
the anodized metal finishes. Ownership had not followed the anodized
aluminum manufacturers washing and preventive maintenance schedule
since the anodized aluminum was new.
York Property Company Solution:
Sartak Holdings realized that anodized aluminum washing and
maintenance was vital to maintain the twenty-three year old anodized
finish over the long-term. We were contacted to analyze the degraded,
stained, corroded, pitting and oxidized exterior bronze anodized
aluminum mullions, window frames, siding and cladding panels. With the
findings of our analysis and specification we were contracted to clean,
wash, refinish and maintain the contaminated anodized aluminum
finishes. Our anodized aluminum cleaning and refinishing system
cleaned, refurbished and protected the anodized aluminum restoring the
original color, gloss and sheen to the bronze anodized finish. |

Condition:
The clear anodized aluminum panels on the exterior of the VA Hospital
in Bronx, New York had degraded from forty years of exposure to
airborne and waterborne contaminants. The anodized aluminum clad panels
were dirty, stained and discolored showing its age. The petroleum-based
window gaskets and silicone caulking had degraded leaching an oily
residue on the surface of the clear anodized aluminum. Until management
worked with us, they could not find anyone to clean, refinish and
restore the damaged anodized aluminum building facade panels. Our
client, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, wanted the
silver colored anodized aluminum clad building clean, restored and the
black stains and silicone caulking residue removed.
York Property Company Solution:
We worked with Fellenzer Engineering LLP of Middletown, New York on the
anodized aluminum surface damage analysis and the correct anodized
aluminum cleaning and refinishing specification for the cleaning,
restoration and protection of the clear anodized aluminum panels. The
dirty, weathered and stained anodized aluminum cleaning posed many
challenges. As the building is a hospital, we had to be sensitive to
the doctors, patients and pedestrians within and around the facility.
Our decades of anodized aluminum refinishing expertise allowed our
on-site field technicians to clean and restore the silver colored
anodized aluminum surface finishes. Our anodized aluminum spray applied
protective lacquer coating sealed the pores of the anodic finish. The
forty-year-old anodized aluminum finish now has the original sheen,

Condition:
The clear anodized
aluminum window frames on this Ocean Front Resort in Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina displayed severe discoloration, oxidation, staining,
pitting and corrosion from thirty years of weathering and salt water /
salt air damage. The clear anodized aluminum window frame finishes had
lost the original sheen, gloss, color depth and luster. The resort
owner wanted to renew, brighten and refurbish the anodized aluminum
window frames; without painting or changing the color to black or
bronze anodized. Class I anodized aluminum window frame capping would
achieve the objective while protecting the exterior anodized aluminum
finishes from weathering, salt, contaminants, hard water stains, mold,
mildew and the corrosive damaging elements.
York Property Company
Solution: To meet our client's capping objective required
shipping 7000 linear feet of new Class I anodized aluminum break metal
sheet stock to the Resort. Our on-site technicians spent 5 months
breaking the anodized aluminum into the correct capping shapes. The
breaking of the anodized aluminum capping required precise measuring
and field cutting to insure a perfect capping installation. Without
painting, our pitted and oxidized anodized aluminum window frame
capping system returned the anodized aluminum window frame factory
finish to new and now protects the anodized finish from weathering,
pitting, oxidation and corrosion. The anodized aluminum clad window
frame finishes have the original satin sheen, silver gray color depth
and metallic gloss and are protected from further sun and salt
damage, oxidation and corrosion. |

Condition:
The stained clear anodized aluminum metal building facade panels, old
anodized aluminum window frames and deteriorated anodized aluminum clad
column panels were silicone contaminated from leeching and degraded
caulking. The original clear anodized aluminum Duranodic panels on this
commercial building in Madison, Wisconsin were discolored, uneven,
faded and did not match the newly built clean anodized aluminum
stair-tower panels. The aged, faded and weathered original panels with
the silicone caulking staining damage were in need of anodized aluminum
cleaning, repair and restoration.
York Property Company Solution:To
achieve the desired result this project required our silicone
caulking stained anodized aluminum construction cleaning and our faded

Condition:
The exterior clear anodized aluminum building facade clad panels and
anodized aluminum window mullions on this commercial building in Tampa,
Florida are continually exposed to the damaging sun, heat, corrosive
humidity and UV rays. The anodized aluminum was bleached, stained,
acid etched and oxidized. To maintain the integrity of the Alucobond
anodic finish ownership requested the anodized aluminum building facade
siding panels be clean, restored and protected.
York Property Company
Solution: Our anodized aluminum Technical Consulting
Division was contracted to analyze the degraded, corroded, sun damaged
and weathered anodized aluminum building facade window mullions and
oxidized anodized aluminum clad panels. As gray colored anodized
aluminum oxidation removal, anodized aluminum pitting repair and
anodized aluminum refinishing experts we specified an on-site anodized
aluminum cleaning, refinishing and preventive maintenance program. |

Condition:
The clear anodized aluminum building facade panels, anodized aluminum
mullions, anodized aluminum storefront window frames and anodized metal
extrusions on this commercial building in Markham, Ontario were dirty, oxidized and
stained. The anodized silver color and satin sheen had faded. The
anodized aluminum cladding panels were contaminated with mold, mildew,
mineral and calcium deposits. Apple Computer Inc. wanted a mold and
mildew stain removal program to repair, restore and refinish the
anodized metal surface staining and damage to the anodized aluminum
building facade panels.
York Property
Company
Solution: The dull, bleached and damaged exterior anodized
aluminum panels and anodized aluminum window frames on this building
were cleaned, repaired and restored with our exterior anodized aluminum
refinishing system. The anodized aluminum was restoration cleaned
removing the oxidation, mold and mildew stains, and the calcium and
mineral deposits. The anodized aluminum metal cladding and anodized
aluminum metal storefront window frames were coated with our spray
applied clear lacquer protective coating to protect the anodized
aluminum metal finish from further damage, corrosion and weathering. |

| Case Study 8 - Oxidized Bronze Anodized Aluminum Panel Restoration |
|
|
>> View
Case Study here. |
|
Condition:
A lack of remedial maintenance washing of the exterior dark bronze
anodized aluminum clad panels at Kimberly-Clark's office campus in Neenah, Wisconsin caused the
brown anodized aluminum panels to bleach, stain, acid
etch and oxidize. As the anodized aluminum panels were never
washed or polished they aged from exposure to airborne and waterborne
contaminants, pollutants, acid rain, sun damage and UV exposure. The
lack of maintenance washing contributed to the corrosion and pitting on
the bronze anodized aluminum metal finishes. Ownership had not followed
the original anodized aluminum manufacturers washing and preventive
maintenance schedule since the anodized aluminum panels were new.
York Property Company Solution:
Jones Lang LaSalle, building management, realized that anodized aluminum panel
washing and maintenance was vital to maintain the thirty-three year old
bronze anodized aluminum anodic finish over the long-term. We were
contacted to analyze the degraded, stained, corroded, pitting and
oxidized exterior bronze anodized aluminum cladding panels. With the findings of our analysis and
specification we were contracted to clean, wash, refinish and maintain
the contaminated bronze anodized aluminum finishes. Our anodized
aluminum cleaning and refinishing system cleaned, refurbished and
protected the anodized aluminum panels, restoring the
original natural brown color, gloss and sheen to the bronze anodized
finish. |

Anodized Aluminum Panel Refinishing |

Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
The clear anodized aluminum clad siding panels on this commercial building in Madison, Wisconsin displayed severe
discoloration, oxidation, staining and corrosion from years of
weathering and a lack of preventive washing or maintenance. The factory
anodized finish lost the original sheen, gloss, color depth and luster.
Management decided to refurbish, renew and rejuvenate the original
factory anodized aluminum finish to avoid chipping, peeling and flaking
paint. Refurbishing the anodized finish will protect and preserve the
exterior anodized aluminum siding panels from weathering, pollutants,
contaminants, hard water stains, mold, mildew and the damaging elements.
York Property
Company Solution:
To clean, repair, renew and protect the anodized aluminum siding from
further oxidation, corrosion, pitting and deterioration we cleaned and
refurbished the original anodized finish with our anodized aluminum
cleaning and renovation system. Without painting, our oxidized anodized
aluminum refinishing and refurbishing program returned the anodized
aluminum factory finish to as good as new and now protects the anodized
finish from weathering, pitting, oxidation and corrosion. The anodized
finish has the original sheen, color depth and gloss protected from
further damage. |

Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
The exterior clear anodized aluminum clad building facade panels,
anodized aluminum window frames and anodized aluminum entrance doors on
this building in Toronto, Ontario were faded, stained, dull and oxidized.
The anodized aluminum building looked dirty, discolored, streaked and
was showing its age. For long-term integrity considerations the owners
requested that we clean, repair and restore the damaged, bleached and
scratched natural silver colored anodized aluminum clad paneling and
anodized aluminum window frames.
York Property Company Solution:
The dirty anodized aluminum building facade cleaning and oxidized
anodized aluminum restoration posed many challenges. We could not clean
the anodized aluminum or work on the exterior of the building during
regular business hours as we would obstruct the main entrance. The
anodized aluminum building facade panels were restored over a long
weekend to "like new". Our anodized aluminum oxidation cleaning,
anodized aluminum scratch removal, weathered anodized aluminum
restoration and anodized aluminum clear protective coating programs
left the anodized aluminum cladding clean, restored and protected. |

Condition:
The exterior clear anodized aluminum spandrel panels on this owner occupied commercial /
industrial building in Houston, Texas were severely bleached, sun faded
and oxidized from exposure to diesel exhaust, industrial pollution,
corrosive acid rain, ultraviolet exposure and a lack of anodized
aluminum remedial maintenance washing. Until management worked with us,
they could not find anyone to clean, refinish or restore the damaged,
stained and weathered anodized aluminum building facade metal panels.
The anodized aluminum clad building was for sale and the anodized
aluminum siding panels needed to be refurbished. The anodized color was
bleached and the anodized metal sheen was dull. Building management
refused to paint the building and were set on restoring the original
satin finish of the clear anodized aluminum.
York Property Company Solution:
A York Property Company Technical Advisor assisted management with the
anodized aluminum surface damage analysis and the correct oxidized
anodized aluminum cleaning and sun faded anodized aluminum refinishing
specification for the cleaning, repair, renovation and restoration of
the anodized aluminum building facade metal panels. We refurbished,
reconditioned and restored the anodized aluminum cladding as if it had
not been stained, blemished or damaged. The anodized aluminum surface
corrosion, oxidation and airborne particulate is gone and the gray
silver colored anodized aluminum finish is renewed and clean. The
anodized aluminum is now protected from automobile exhaust, weathering,
sun and UV exposure, acid rain and pollution. |

"We
could not find anyone that could restore
our anodized aluminum facade. The only recommendation that we had
was to paint
the anodized aluminum facade. The president of our company refused to
have the
anodized aluminum buildings painted because of continuous maintenance -
in fact we were
going to replace the entire anodized aluminum facade unless we could
find someone to do
the proper job of anodized aluminum restoration. We cannot thank you
enough not
only for your performance but also your ability to return our anodized
aluminum to its original beauty and luster."
Vice President,
Amega Corporation |
