Apart from the paint type, the color you choose can affect the cost of your commercial wall painting project. When the paint is tinted at the store, they use base colors, and there’s a need to balance the amount of titanium dioxide with the pigment that gives you the desired color.
If you want darker or more vibrant colors in your paint, they add more pigment, but that means less titanium dioxide is used. This results in a paint with lower hiding characteristics when applied.
So, you might need more coats of paint to cover walls with existing darker colors. Also, keep in mind that darker or more vibrant paints cost more per gallon, which adds to the overall expense.
With time, expect some yellowing of your walls if you paint them white. It’s a common thing, and preventing it can be tough or even impossible. Usually, the paint will yellow uniformly, which at least makes it less noticeable.
In manufacturing facilities where oil mists are used to lubricate stamping press forms, the painted surfaces, especially on walls and ceilings, tend to yellow faster. This is because the oil eventually accumulates on these surfaces during the production process. Therefore, proper maintenance and regular touch-ups are essential for maintaining the quality of your commercial interior painting project.
Preparing the walls of commercial buildings for painting can involve various methods like scraping, hot water washing, cold water washing, Top Sandblasting method, dry ice blasting & solvent washing. It’s important to be cautious about using water in the preparation process, especially if there’s electricity nearby.
Before starting your project, we ensure that electrical conduits & control boxes can handle exposure to water (most can’t).
Eggshell finish paint offers excellent washability, making it popular for commercial interior painting, as it provides a richer appearance compared to matte or flat finishes. It’s perfect for low-traffic areas but not advisable for trim, doors, or high-traffic zones.
Under optimal conditions, premium exterior paints can endure for 7 to 10 years, with interior paints retaining their appearance for 5 to 7 years. Regular monitoring of paint condition is crucial, and touch-ups or repainting should be carried out promptly upon detecting signs of wear and deterioration.
An unopened can of acrylic or latex paint typically remains usable for up to 10 years, while unopened oil-based or alkyd-based paints can last for around 15 years. However, chalk paint has a shorter shelf life of 1-3 years, and milk paint only retains its quality for 1-2 weeks after being mixed.
The colour used in wall painting for specific rooms varies according to the desired atmosphere and function. For instance, Bright Lime brings a lively feel to living rooms, while Blue Wool adds brightness to bathrooms. Timber Logs emits a sense of calm in dining rooms, while Whispering White creates a clean look for home offices. Harvest Dance adds vibrance to bedrooms, while Autumn Blaze promotes warmth in children’s playrooms. Lake Stone creates a relaxing atmosphere for game rooms and True Blue channels tranquillity for guest bedrooms. Fascination adds richness to indoor garden walls, and Sashay Red brings drama to versatile kitchens.
To estimate the cost of painting commercial walls, follow these steps:
For interior painting, it’s generally advisable to paint commercial metal jambs first before painting the walls. This sequence allows for greater precision and ease of application, ensuring that the metal jambs receive thorough coverage without risking paint splatters or smudges on the freshly painted walls. Additionally, painting the metal jambs first provides a clean edge where the walls meet the trim, facilitating a smoother and more professional finish overall.
Before painting, it’s crucial to clean walls thoroughly, despite being a step often overlooked. Start by wiping walls with warm, soapy water and a sponge, removing dust and grime. Major paint manufacturers recommend using mild detergent solutions for optimal cleaning. Professional painters may skip washing, opting for pole-sanding instead to remove dirt. If conditions permit, washing can be omitted, but it’s essential for surfaces with visible dirt, grease stains, or heavy use. TSP (trisodium phosphate) is recommended for tougher cleaning tasks, such as removing grease or soap scum.
Enamel paints are a premier option for interior wall painting due to their exceptional qualities. Especially suited for areas prone to grime and moisture, these paints provide a glossy and protective coating, ensuring durability and easy maintenance.
