Case Study 51 - Toronto, Ontario - Faded Painted Metal Panel Refinishing
|
|
|
|
|
>> View Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
The white painted metal window frames and painted metal cladding panels
on this Panasonic Corp. owner occupied commercial building in Toronto, Ontario were stained, dull,
aged, faded, oxidized and discolored. The painted metal finish looked
worn, chalked, old and weathered. Ownership wanted the painted metal
window frames and painted metal siding panels to look new again. As
well the painted metal building had to be protected from acid rain, sun
damage and pollutants. The paint will need to withstand mineral
deposits, u.v exposure, pollutants, hard water stains and contaminants.
York Property Company Solution:
For long-term integrity considerations ownership requested the painted
metal finish be clean, refinished, restored and protected from damage.
The painted metal building facade window frames and painted metal
panels were restoration cleaned, refurbished and reconditioned then
coated with our spray applied lacquer. The lacquer will protect the
painted metal finish from deterioration and degradation. The paint
finish is now renewed, rejuvenated and refinished with the original
color, sheen and gloss. The painted metal is protected from sun damage,
corrosion, pitting, oxidation, weathering, airborne and waterborne
contaminants. |

Case Study 52 - Houston, Texas - Bleached Anodized Aluminum Building Facade Restoration |
|
|
|
>> 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
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 53 - Mississauga, Ontario - Faded Painted Aluminum Curtain Wall Refinishing
|
|
|
|
>> View Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
The service life of the painted aluminum curtain wall cladding panels,
painted aluminum balcony railings, painted aluminum sliding doors,
painted aluminum ground floor storefront window frames and painted
aluminum entrance doors on this thirty-seven storey luxury residential
condominium curtain wall in Mississauga, Ontario had expired. The painted aluminum cladding was
chalked, faded, stained and oxidized. We were contracted to clean,
repair and restore the degraded and pitted exterior painted aluminum
curtain wall cladding, balcony railings and ground floor window frame
extrusions.
York Property Company Solution:
To restore the faded painted aluminum cladding our faded paint
restoration system was specified to maintain the appearance and protect
the paint from further damage. The execution of the painted aluminum
curtain wall restoration project was complex. As a residence to
hundreds of condominium owners we had to be sensitive to their privacy.
Curtain wall cleaning and refinishing working hours were tailored to
not disturb the occupants. |

Case Study 54 - Houston, Texas - Oxidized Anodized Aluminum Building Facade Refinishing |
|
|
|
>> 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. |

Case Study 55 - Atlantic City, New Jersey - Rusting Stainless Steel Cleaning and Repair
|
|
|
|
>> 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. |

Case Study 56 - Chattanooga, Tennessee - Repairing Damaged Stainless Steel 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.

Case Study 57 - Houston, Texas - Repairing Stucco Stains on Anodized Aluminum Windows
|
|
|
|
>> View Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
The new Class I bronze anodized aluminum window frames on this custom
home in Houston, Texas were stained, oxidized and acid etched during
construction. The factory finished anodized aluminum surface finish was
acid burned, blemished and stained whitish gray with lime contaminated
debris, acidic water and stucco overspray. The stucco contractor failed
to tape the window frame perimeter edge correctly allowing acidic
stucco to leech onto the fragile bronze anodic layer. The anodized
aluminum new construction project was compromised by the stucco and
lime residue, white stucco splatter, scarring and acid burns.
York Property Company Solution:
The General Contractor contracted us to clean,
repair and restore the damaged, oxidized and acid etched bronze
anodized aluminum
window frames. We removed the acid burns and white colored stains on
the
new anodized aluminum window frame sections as if they had not been
acid etched, stained or damaged. The architect specified that we repair
the acid etching damage and return the anodized aluminum to the
original condition. The bronze anodized aluminum looked new and clean
when the anodized aluminum construction cleaning and anodized aluminum
stucco and acid etching removal program was complete.

Case Study 58 - Jupiter Island, Florida - Ocean Front Rusting Stainless Steel Restoration |
|
|
|
>> 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 window frame rust removal, oxidized stainless
steel window frame cleaning and corroded stainless steel window frame 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 59 - Columbus, Ohio - Refinishing Damaged Bronze Anodized Aluminum Doors
|
|
|
|
>> View Case Study here. |
|
Condition:
The new bronze anodized aluminum window frames and doors on
this commercial building in Columbus, Ohio were damaged, stained, oxidized and acid etched by the brick
mason contractor acid
cleaning the brick above and beside the anodized aluminum window frame
extrusions and doors. The muriatic acid restoration cleaning agent flash etched
and burned all of the building facade bronze anodized aluminum. The chemical staining left the brown metallic anodized aluminum
damaged, flash oxidized and acid burned beyond repair by traditional
construction cleaning methods and materials.
York Property Company Solution:
The General Contractor retained us as acid etched anodized aluminum
construction cleaning contracting experts. We were contracted to clean,
repair and restore the chemical stained and muriatic acid burned
anodized aluminum storefront window frames and anodized aluminum doors and frames. This project required that we repair the acid
etching damage and return the anodized aluminum to the original
condition without painting, capping or replacing any of the anodized
aluminum extrusions. The acid
etched anodized aluminum building facade storefront was
repaired and restored to the original color and sheen specification
with our acid etched anodized aluminum construction cleaning and
restoration system. |

Case Study 60 - Markham, Ontario - Restoring Chalked Painted Aluminum Window Mullions |
|
|
|
>> View Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
The painted aluminum curtain wall extrusions and painted aluminum
Alucobond metal panels on this eleven storey Class "A" commercial
building in Markham, Ontario were severely chalked and oxidized. There were new commercial
buildings in the area and management did not want to lose a competitive
advantage with a weathered, dull, hard water and mineral stained
building. The original painted aluminum color, sheen and luster was
faded. Management decided for tenant retention and aesthetic
considerations to clean, refurbish and restore the curtain wall faded
paint.
York Property Company Solution:
To clean, refurbish, rejuvenate and restore the curtain wall oxidized
painted aluminum and faded paint we installed our faded paint
resurfacing and restoration system. We had to get the corrosion,
oxidation and faded paint pigment off of the painted aluminum surfaces
while protecting the paint finish. The spray applied lacquer renewed
the paint gloss to factory specifications. The painted aluminum metal
curtain wall extrusions and Alucobond metal panels were refurbished to
a protected condition with the original sheen and luster. After
restoration, the painted aluminum looked new. |
