Selection and Specifications for Architectural and Industrial Maintenance Coatings for Commercial Architecture

Selection of coating systems for commercial projects may appear to be a simple task, but to ensure a successful project the Architect or the Engineer needs to perform a thorough and appropriate evaluation of the project to match the right coating systems with the required substrates and environments.

Selection of coating systems for commercial projects may appear to be a simple task, but, to ensure a successful project the Architect or the Engineer needs to perform a thorough and appropriate evaluation of the project to match the right coating systems with the required substrates and environments. Commercial architecture defines more than just simple office buildings; it may include highly complex transportation centers, convention centers, state-of-theart office structures, sports facilities, and educational facilities at all levels. Each of these building types, while commercial in function, border on high-end industrial facilities because of the variety of spaces and environments that may be encountered. These building types often require a broad menu of coating systems to provide corrosion resistance and aesthetics. Architecturally exposed structural steel, often used as an accent element, requires a coating system with a high degree of corrosion resistance while providing an aesthetic finished surface; the laboratory in the chemical company’s headquarters requires a chemical resistant coating on the floors and walls; the structural steel supporting the canopy over the train yard requires a cleanable and chemical resistant industrial maintenance coating. This paper will address the challenges - successes and failures - of various systems that have been incorporated into several specific facilities and focus on recommendations for true success
