Steel frame of an industrial building under construction

Industrial painting

Steel frame and structure painting

Preparing, protecting and finishing steel so it withstands its environment.

Frames, columns, beams, walkways, stairs or mezzanines: steel must be protected against corrosion and, depending on the project, given an aesthetic finish. Surface preparation quality directly determines how well the system performs.

COLOR HOME works on new structures (after erection) or existing ones in renovation, with multi-coat systems defined for indoor or outdoor environments.

Definition — Painting a steel structure means applying a protective system usually made of an anti-corrosion primer, one or more intermediate coats and a topcoat. The system is chosen according to the environment (dry interior, exterior, marine or industrial).

Applications

  • Frames of industrial and commercial buildings
  • Columns, beams and portals
  • Mezzanines, walkways and steel stairs
  • Exposed architectural steelwork
  • Railings and metalwork

Frequently asked questions

Does a steel frame need full stripping before repainting?

Not always. If the old system is well bonded, cleaning and local treatment of corroded areas may suffice, followed by a compatible system.

What colour for exposed steelwork?

Any colour is possible as a topcoat; it is chosen with the architect or according to your brand guidelines.

Do you work at height in occupied buildings?

Yes, with zone barriers and suitable access, coordinated with the operator.
