Case Study 41 -
Restoring Faded Painted Aluminum Building Facade Panels
|
|
|
|
>>
View Case Study here. |
|
 |
Condition:
The
highly reflective paint on the exterior building facade metal panels at
this Exton, Pennsylvania location of the U.S.P.S. had failed
prematurely. The dull, chalked, faded and oxidized painted aluminum
panels were an eyesore and in need of cleaning and paint restoration.
The paint that was applied during manufacturing of the aluminum panels
was for interior use. The paint bleached and oxidized in the exterior
environment not being able to withstand the UV rays, heat, pollutants
and acidic contaminants that are present outside. We informed our
client that the paint finish could be restored and coated to protect
the pigment from the corrosive elements.
|
|
York Property Company Solution: As
faded, bleached, weathered and oxidized paint restoration experts we
were brought in over a weekend to clean, repair and restore the painted
aluminum building facade panels to their original sheen, gloss and
finish. We used our painted aluminum reconditioning system that removed
the top layer of the factory applied paint finish. This painted
aluminum refinishing program stripped the failed paint resin from the
painted aluminum panel surfaces allowing for a smooth substrate to work
from. We sealed the painted aluminum pores and protected the underlying
paint pigment. The panels are now clean and restored making the
building shine.

|
| 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. |

View Case Study here. |
|
| 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.

| Case Study 79 - Restoring Caulking Stained Stainless Steel Building
Facade Panels |

View Case Study here. |
|
Condition:
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
damaging waterborne and airborne contaminants. Compounding the problem was leaching
plasticizers and silicone from the degraded caulking. There had not been any
remedial maintenance washing over the life of the building which has
contributed to the severity of the contamination. The hospital is a
Class A facility and the unsightly condition of the stainless steel 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. |

Case Study 75 - Stripping Peeling Lacquer off of Anodized Aluminum Building
Facade Panels

View Case Study here. |
|
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
original clear coat factory finish on the painted aluminum clad
building facade siding panels on this commercial building in Toronto,
Ontario had failed due to age, ultraviolet sun damage and a lack of
maintenance washing. The paint finish was chalking, faded, oxidized and
had lost its luster and sheen. The owner could paint the building at
great expense or wash, renovate and rejuvenate the original blue
painted aluminum metal clad panels. Cleaning and renovating the factory
paint finish was the most cost effective.
|
|
| York Property Company Solution: As
painted aluminum metal restoration specialists we cleaned, restored and
rejuvenated the faded painted aluminum without further damaging the
painted surface. We cleaned, repaired and restored the damaged and
oxidized painted aluminum siding panels with our faded paint cleaning
and restoration system. After cleaning and refinishing the painted
aluminum building facade siding the panels were clean, protected and as
good as new. |

|
Condition:
The
clear anodized aluminum clad building facade panels and anodized
aluminum window frames on this owner occupied commercial building in
Houston, Texas were oxidized, bleached, pitted and stained. The
anodized aluminum panels looked old, aged, dull, weathered and faded as
they had never been cleaned, washed or maintained since the anodized
aluminum clad building was new. ADP, Inc. wanted to clean, refurbish
and protect the damaged exterior natural colored Duranodic anodized
aluminum clad composite panel system.
|
|
York Property Company Solution: The
anodized aluminum cladding was cleaned, repaired and restored with our
exterior oxidized anodized aluminum cleaning and stained anodized
aluminum refinishing system. The anodized aluminum was restoration
cleaned and the metal clad panels were coated with our anodized
aluminum clear protective coating. With the anodized aluminum surfaces
now clean, the coating will preserve and protect the anodized aluminum
anodic layer from airborne and waterborne contaminants, sun and UV
exposure and all around general weathering.

View Case Study here. |
|
| 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 airborne and waterborne
contaminants, sun and UV exposure and all around general corrosive
weathering. |

|
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
painted metal building facade siding panels on this apartment building in Toronto, Ontario were oxidized, chalked,
faded and bleached. The paint finish lost the original color, sheen,
luster and gloss. The paint surface looked old, dull and aged.
Ownership wanted the painted aluminum siding panels to look new again.
As well the painted panels had to be protected from the sun, wear and
tear, UV exposure, pollutants and contaminants. They wanted the
building facade panels clean, repaired and protected. |
|
| York Property Company Solution: We
were contracted to clean, refurbish and recondition the painted
aluminum building facade siding panels as they were severely oxidized
and faded. We had to clean, repair and restore the painted finish
without causing any more damage to the painted aluminum metal panels.
Our faded paint reconditioning and restoration system returned the

|
|
|
Condition:
The clear anodized aluminum
Alucobond panels on this commercial building in Waco, Texas were
painted after they were installed on the building. The paint coating on
the anodized aluminum was peeling and the old, brittle, flaking paint
had to be removed. The owners wanted the anodized aluminum panels to be
restored to the original luster of new anodized aluminum. If the
anodized aluminum was not coated once it was clean and refurbished the
anodized aluminum would bleach, stain, acid etch and oxidize. To
maintain the integrity of the Alucobond anodic finish ownership
requested the anodized aluminum building facade siding panels be coated
and protected with the York Property Company anodized aluminum
protective coating.
|
|
| York Property Company Solution: To
refurbish and recondition the old, faded and contaminated anodized
aluminum we had to strip the paint off the anodized aluminum finish
without damaging the anodic layer. Removing the paint was time
consuming and required our skill, expertise and experience as anodized
aluminum restoration specialists. If the Alucobond panels were acid
etched or scratched the anodized aluminum would have to be painted
again. The anodized aluminum reconditioning program got the paint off
of the panels safely and refurbished the anodized aluminum color and
finish. The anodized aluminum protective coating enhanced the sheen
while protecting the anodized aluminum from the sun, mineral deposits,
calcium stains and caustic airborne 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

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 stainless

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
