Ceiling Spraying
Our ceiling spraying service delivers flawless, uniform finishes for large commercial spaces using advanced HVLP technology. This method ensures rapid application with minimal overspray, ideal for office fit-outs and industrial buildings. Clients benefit from reduced downtime and long-lasting, professional results that meet strict health and safety standards.
Fire Protection
We apply intumescent coatings to structural steelwork, enhancing fire resistance while maintaining aesthetic integrity. Our certified teams follow LPCB-approved standards, providing up to 120 minutes of fire protection. This service ensures compliance with building regulations and safeguards commercial properties against fire risks without compromising design elements.
Curtain Wall Spraying
Specialised curtain wall spraying preserves and enhances building facades using weather-resistant coatings. Our technicians handle complex aluminium and glass systems, ensuring durability against environmental factors. Clients gain improved curb appeal and extended lifespan of exterior structures while maintaining minimal disruption to building occupants.
On-Site Spraying
Our on-site spraying service covers large surface areas efficiently, including walls, ceilings, and structural components. Utilising airless spray equipment, we achieve seamless finishes for commercial developments. This method reduces labour time by 40% compared to traditional methods while maintaining superior coverage and adherence to project specifications.
