Painting your business is one of the most cost-effective ways to give it a fresh and new appearance, but it goes beyond aesthetics. Industrial painting is essential for the following reasons:
1.Improves the Aesthetics of Your Business
Naturally, one of the first and most immediate results of a newly-painted business is how it looks. Your business should look clean and presentable both for employees and any clients or customers that may walk in, and painting the walls and surfaces is one of the best ways to show cleanliness.
Of course, you should also be sure to clean the property, both inside and outside, to maintain that clean appearance. Nevertheless, a fresh coat of paint can leave a lasting impression for many years to come.
Protects Against Environmental Damage
One of the best reasons (although perhaps not as obvious as aesthetics) to paint your business is because it helps to protect against environmental damage that can wear down your structure, such as corrosion and rust.
Industrial painting techniques apply multiple coats that form a barrier against vapour and moisture from accumulating, thereby reducing corrosion as well as acting as a fire retardant and a barrier against spills from chemical products, acidic and alkaline substances, and more.
Helps with Branding Your Business
A fresh lick of paint can help bring out your business branding subtly or strongly depending on your choice of colours and the visible surface area to employees and/or customers. Branding is essential and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t consider incorporating branding when repainting your business, even if it’s just using similar colours to your logo or other branded materials.
Try to keep branding as a secondary thought to safety, however. For access points and emergency exits, for example, prioritise painting in such a manner as to not interfere with visibility to manual fire alarm call points.
May Increase Property Value
Business properties that are routinely painted and kept looking presentable can sometimes command higher sale prices if your business ever needs to relocate or downsize. Along with general maintenance, freshly painted business premises look appealing to prospective buyers or tenants (if leasing the property) and are much more immediately evident to anyone browsing the listing online or in person than plumbing or electrical maintenance, for example.
Compliance with Regulations
Every qualified and experienced painter in Australia must be keenly aware of Australian Standards (e.g. AS/NZS 2311:2017) that regulate and guide painters on how to paint various surfaces. For example, iron and steel surfaces require 1-2 coats of metal primer and 2 coats of solvent-based or latex paint. Good painters understand the standards, why they exist, and why they must be upheld for your business.
Regulatory compliance is essential as part of an overall risk assessment including fire safety. Although your fire alarm and detection systems perhaps take priority along with emergency egress and lighting, paint could pose a fire safety hazard or the opposite, act as a fire retardant. Insurance adjusters may recognise quality paint as part of a fire safety assessment and perhaps even reduce your premiums as it shows that your business is exercising due diligence.
Keeping your business painted from a qualified and reputable painting company in Torquay, Geelong and surrounding areas is a sure way to keep your building compliant with standards.
