We strip down to the metal; we do not paint over the top of existing paint.
The lower photo shows how not to re-paint Edge Protection Barriers. By powder-coating over existing paint and contamination, an insufficient key between the two layers results in chipping and delamination of the new coat.
New Life Recoat, on the other hand, includes stripping off the old paint, rust and concrete and then applying anticorrosion inhibitors before finally re-powder coating. The top photo shows previously used edge protection panels cleaned and ready for painting.
Windridge Coatings has been powder-coating architectural steelwork and aluminium for over thirty years. We design and build our own specialist equipment, including the largest box oven in the country. We have pioneered powder coating large, heavy components and patented the Warm to Touch powder coating process. We strive to reduce costs and carbon footprints within the construction industry, and New Life Recoat is another example of how we do this.
