Restoring Curtain Walls And Extrusions Using Lumiflon FEVE Resins

Erie On The Park, Extrustions, Restoration
Unlike roofing panels, curtain walls and extrusions are subjected to different amounts of weathering and deterioration. Typically, complete replacement of curtain walls and extrusions are costly, and they also interfere with the building’s operations for long periods of time. Instead, restoration of these metal substrates is a more viable option to the building owners. These projects require the careful removal of the existing coating, priming and the application of the new coating as to prevent accidental overspray on other parts of the building or surroundings. All-Tech Decorating (ATD) of Romeoville, IL chooses PPG’s Coraflon ADS coatings enriched with Lumiflon FEVE Resins for their ability to achieve factory-like finishes as well as reduce metallic flop.

Lumiflon FEVE Resins Are The Subject Of School Roof Restoration

Throughout the United States, schools with metal roofs have become commonplace. The roofs’ protective coatings are applied directly to the metal coils during manufacturing, from which the roof panels are formed. However, when these roofs begin to show signs of deterioration, the entire roof needs to be stripped, primed and recoated. All-Tech Decorating Company (ATD) and PPG’s Coraflon ADS with Lumiflon FEVE Resin gives school roofs factory-like fluoropolymer finishes with higher durability, gloss rate, gloss retention, weatherability and corrosion resistance than the former factory applied finishes for perfect roof restoration.

Lumiflon FEVE Based Coatings Make Metal Roof Restoration Easy

Factory applied coatings on metal roofs tend to degrade much sooner than the anticipated building’s lifespan. Since factory finishes are baked on, the only viable method of roof restoration is field application. Deteriorated roof coatings must be stripped, cleaned and sprayed on site; a job for which dedicated contractors are required. The inclusion of Lumiflon FEVE resins in coatings, such as PPG’s Coraflon ADS (air-dry system), help provide a coating with low-maintenance properties.
