Water tanks are a ubiquitous feature in communities worldwide, serving as vital reservoirs that ensure a steady supply of water for various purposes. While their primary function is utilitarian, the exterior coatings of these tanks often play a surprising role in shaping the visual landscape of neighborhoods. From vibrant colors to intricate designs, water tank coatings are more than just protective layers – they make statements about the community they serve.
What To Look For In An Architectural Coatings System
Categories Technical
When choosing an architectural coatings system, there are an abundance of qualities to look for. An architect or specifier desires a coating system that is sustainable and durable. Additionally, a coatings system must provide the aesthetic properties needed by the architect as well, not only at the time of initial coating, but for decades to come.
Lumiflon Guest Blog: Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Buildings
Categories Technical
Climate change is the result of increasing greenhouse gasses and carbon emissions. Buildings generate nearly 40% of those emissions. The measurement of these greenhouse gasses and carbon emissions determine a building’s carbon footprint. As architects and engineers, we have the ability to affect climate change by how we design and construct buildings. The best way to determine how well we are pr...
The Environmental Impact Reduction Of Using FEVE Coatings
Categories Technical
FEVE resins reduce the environmental impact over the life cycle of a structure. The associated cost reductions are found in coating production, transportation, waste reduction, traffic, and VOCs off-gassed during the repainting or recoating process.
The Importance Of Architectural Coating Specification
Coatings specifications allow an engineer or architect to specify finishes based on performance. The specifications for coatings include any painted structure such as bridges, buildings, or even signs. Within these specifications, shortcuts exist, to enable an architect or engineer to spec a coating system based on resin chemistry.
