|
|
>> View Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
The stainless steel metal siding panels on this new Pensacola, Florida
oceanfront residence will be continually exposed to the sun, humidity,
heat, salt water mist and corrosive salt air. All of these acidic,
corrosive and caustic elements are a recipe for rust, oxidation and
corrosion. In this damaging and corrosive environment the satin finish
silver colored stainless steel clad siding panels will stain, pit and
rust in a matter of months. The owners wanted a stainless steel
cleaning, washing and maintenance specification to keep the stainless
steel metal clad building facade panels from staining, pitting and
rusting.
York Property Company
Solution: They required that the stainless steel clad
siding 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 siding panels clean, protected, stain and rust free from the
caustic environmental elements, salt air / salt water damage,
waterborne and airborne pollutants and contaminants associated with an
oceanfront residence. |

>> View Case Study here.
|
|
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. |

The new owners required the anodized aluminum continually look new and
clean and not have any oxidation, stains or salt residue contamination.
As anodized aluminum oxidation removal, anodized aluminum pitting and
corrosion removal and anodized aluminum refinishing specialists we
specified the correct cleaning methods and renovation materials. This
anodized aluminum restoration specification enabled the stucco painting
contractor to refurbish the anodized aluminum surface finishes while
the access equipment was on-site. The spray applied lacquer now
protects the anodized aluminum window mullions from salt water damage,
salt air damage, corrosive pollutants, airborne contaminants and salt
water mist associated with an oceanfront hotel.

>> View Case Study here.
|
|
Condition:
The new clear anodized aluminum factory finish was stained and etched
during the construction of this Ft. Myers, Florida custom home. During construction acidic concrete slurry, mortar and
corrosive cement splashed on the anodized aluminum window frames and
anodized aluminum doors. The silver colored anodized finish was acid
etched, corroded, scratched and oxidized. The G.C. requested that we
get the concrete, cement and mortar overspray stains off and get the
acid etching out of the anodized aluminum surfaces. As acid burned
anodized aluminum cleaning and chemically etched anodized aluminum
refinishing experts, our client had confidence we could recondition,
refinish and restore the damaged anodized aluminum surface finishes.
York Property Company Solution:
To clean, repair, renew and protect the damaged anodized aluminum
surfaces we refurbished the anodized aluminum with our acid etched
anodized aluminum restoration cleaning and oxidized anodized aluminum
reconditioning system. We had to remove the concrete, cement and mortar
overspray, splatter and debris while repairing and refinishing the
anodized aluminum without causing any more damage to the thin anodized
anodic finish. Although the anodized aluminum building facade window
mullions and doors were seriously damaged, our anodized aluminum

Case Study 63 - Clearwater, Florida - Stripping Faded Paint from Bronze Anodized Aluminum Window Frames
|
|
|
|
>> 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 factory applied white paint finish on the new exterior painted
aluminum window frames had started cracking and peeling due to interior
paint being applied at the factory vs. exterior paint as specified. The
paint finish was prematurely fading, flaking off and peeling. The G.C.
required that this situation be remedied immediately as the luxury
