Factory
finished architectural metals require reasonable care, periodic
cleaning, maintenance washing, metal polishing and preventive metal
maintenance. Although these architectural metals posses exceptional
resistance to corrosion, oxidation, pitting, etching, discoloration and
wear, the metal finishes integrity will corrode and degrade by harsh
chemicals, rough conditions or neglect. Without preventive metal
refinishing; metal refinishing and metal building restoration are
inevitable.

Cleaning Dirty and Stained Painted Metal Curtain Wall
Window
Mullions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Condition:
The degraded, old and damaged concrete upper and lower curtain wall
panels on this commercial office building in Norwalk, Connecticut were
clad with new brown painted aluminum metal panels during the building
renovation. The original aged, chalked, faded, oxidized and dull
painted aluminum window mullions did not match the new, shiny, clean
panels. Ownership wanted the original factory finish brown painted
window mullions cleaned, repaired and restored to match the new painted
aluminum building facade cladding. As oxidized and faded painted
aluminum cleaning and refinishing experts we were contracted to achieve
these metal refinishing objectives.
York Property Company Solution:
To refurbish the old, stained, oxidized and faded painted aluminum
metal window mullions and get them to match the new exterior painted
aluminum panels we restored and reconditioned the original painted
aluminum finishes with our faded and stained paint restoration system.
This paint restoration system removes old, faded and damaged painted
aluminum pigment while protecting the underlying original color from
degrading to the exposure of the damaging elements. When the painted
aluminum restoration project was complete the old and weathered painted
aluminum window frames and sills matched the newly installed painted
aluminum panels. |

Metal Building Cleaning and Anodized

Building Facade Metal Restoration |
|
|
|
|
|
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. |

Ocean Front and Salt Water / Salt Air Exposed Stainless
Steel Preventive Metal Maintenance
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. |

Acid Etched and Oxidized Anodized
Aluminum Window Frame Metal Refinishing |
|
|
|
|
|
Condition:
The dark bronze anodized aluminum window frames at this new
construction project in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina were damaged,
oxidized, scratched and stained during construction. The stucco
contractor scratched the brown colored anodized aluminum when they were
removing stucco overspray. When they tried to get the stucco off of the
anodized aluminum they scratched the fragile anodized aluminum surface
finish. The anodized aluminum new construction project was compromised
by the oxidation, scratches, etching and stains.
York Property Company
Solution: Archer Western Contractors contracted us to clean,
repair and restore the damaged and scratched bronze anodized aluminum
window frames. We removed the scratches and white colored stains on the
new anodized aluminum window frame sections as if they had not been
scratched or damaged. The bronze anodized aluminum looked new and clean
when the anodized aluminum construction cleaning and anodized aluminum
scratch remover program was complete. |

Cleaning Damaged Metal Window Frames and Acid Etched Metal Refinishing
|
|
|
|
|
|
Condition:
The new commercial clear anodized aluminum storefront window frames and
grand foyer curtain wall on the Performing Arts Center in Broken Arrow,
Oklahoma were acid etched when rain water ran through the curtain wall
extrusions during installation. Concrete, mortar and lime residue
leached onto the unprotected silver / gray colored anodized aluminum
surfaces. Unfortunately, the G.C. hired a contractor that compounded
the problem by acid cleaning the anodized aluminum that etched the
anodized aluminum extrusions even further.
York Property Company
Solution: The General Contractor retained us as an
anodized aluminum construction cleaning expert to clean, repair and
restore the damaged anodized aluminum storefront window frames and
anodized aluminum curtain wall. They required that we repair the damage
and return the anodized aluminum to the original color, satin sheen and
gloss. We achieved this request using our anodized aluminum concrete
and mortar removal construction cleaning restoration system. The
anodized aluminum surfaces are now clean, repaired, refurbished and
protected from further damage. |

Restoring Acid
Etched Metal Window Mullions
|
|
|
|
|
|
Condition:
The anodized aluminum window frames, anodized aluminum skylight frames,
anodized aluminum storefront window frames and anodized aluminum
entrance doors on this low-rise commercial building facade in Houston,
Texas were damaged, discolored, stained and acid etched by a
construction cleaning contractor acid cleaning the brick above the
anodized aluminum windows. The restoration cleaning chemical flash
etched, acid burned and oxidized all of the silver metallic colored
anodized aluminum window frames and they were no longer new, clean or
in original condition.
York Property Company
Solution: The owner of the property demanded a remedy to
renew, clean, repair and refurbish the stained and oxidized clear
anodized aluminum to the original color, sheen and condition. Our
anodized aluminum acid etching refinishing and anodized aluminum
oxidation removal program allowed us to remove the acid etching stains
and chemical burns from the surface finish of the clear anodized
aluminum window frames. The anodized aluminum building facade window
frames, skylight frames and entrance doors were cleaned, repaired,
preserved and protected from any further damage from the elements and
are now as good as new for many years to come. |

Washing Stained Stainless Steel Metal Panels and Protecting Stainless Steel Metal from Salt Water 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. |

Washing Corrosion off of Stainless Steel Metal Surface Finishes
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. |

Cleaning Alucobond Panels and Refinishing Clear Anodized Aluminum Metal Window Frames
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. |

Removing Rust from Stainless Steel
Metal Column
Panels
|
|
|
|
|
|
Condition:
The exterior polished stainless steel column covers on the ATI
Technologies Inc. building 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 Company Solution:
ATI Technologies Inc. specified and chose our stainless steel metal
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. |
