Painting Maintenance Care for your Building Exterior

Once your external painting project has been completed there is important information that shouldn’t be overlooked before filing your Leisuretex warranty and maintenance manuals – these documents contain notes about your chosen paint product/s, the recommended practices for paint care and using the right cleaning methods for your coating system.

Our Australian climate can deliver harsh elements and painted surfaces become at risk of developing dirt, stains, mould and grime. Even the best paint manufacturer products cannot withstand such conditions over an extended period of time, but with proper care and maintenance, you will minimize these levels of wear and tear.

THE BEST CARE FOR YOUR PAINTED EXTERNAL WALLS

A common oversight is the ‘paint and forget’ assumption. Painting is part of a process over time, the full benefits are realised when a professional painting project is scheduled alongside a good maintenance plan. Keep the outside of your painted building maintained by:

  • Cleaning your building – a full washdown by a professional every 1-2 years will extend the maintenance cycle of external paint. Exterior surfaces are painted with highly durable paint and therefore can withstand repeated cleaning.
  • Doing a walkthrough around your building regularly to keep an eye on the overall condition of your painted (and unpainted) surfaces. Schedule a nominated person in your building to conduct a visual inspection, they should look out for any rust stains, leakage or signs of structural damage that might need to be repaired to avoid premature deterioration. Keep in a mind, that a good painter should never use paint to cover up underlying issues – remedial repairs should be addressed and not dismissed just to save a dollar,…the future costs will come back to bite you.
  • Budgeting for repairs to damaged facades, walls, timber, and steelwork
  • Cutting back or even removing trees and greenery that are too close to building walls which can create excessive moisture, thus leading to things like mould and discolouration.

INVEST IN PAINTING MAINTENANCE FEES, SAVE MONEY IN THE LONG TERM

Choosing to prevent the chances of future painting repairs through good maintenance care now means you will benefit from an external building that will perform for a long time while looking its best.

Australian National Construction Review – Pinnacle Apartments Brisbane Painting

PAINTING TO NEW HEIGHTS

Pinnacle Apartments is the latest addition to the iconic building development at Portside Wharf, set next to the popular Eastside Market Street Hamilton on the Brisbane River. Leisuretex Painting Contractors were commissioned to complete both the internal and external painting of this modern luxury development comprised of 162 luxury apartments and penthouses.

For all projects, Leisuretex Painting Contractors have a key outstanding of expertise. Their specially trained staff utilise swinging stages and abseil ropes for external painting and cleaning; eliminating the need for costly scaffolding (unless totally necessary). With staff trained to Level 3 ARAA qualifications (the highest rating), Leisuretex is equipped to give the best painting service for working at heights and difficult to access buildings.

Swinging Stage boats are ideal for large expanses of painting works such as those involved in construction projects. The swinging stages are set up from the top of the building in an area restricted to only a few authorised personnel on site. More importantly; set up with the swinging stage ropes and pulleys are Leisuretex’s rope recovery lines. When Leisuretex’s comprehensively trained staff are painting from the swinging stage boats, they are all harnessed with rope lines that are secured to the building separately. Leisuretex’s commitment to maintaining a safe environment is always the highest priority.

Abseiling is a quick, efficient and cost-effective painting solution for high-rises, double-storey buildings and anything in between. Interestingly, the abseiling technique is much more cost-effective for the client. Leisuretex Painting Contractors can and do utilise the scaffolding option, however applying the two former methods is preferred. They are truly artisans of their trade in this way. The outcome is that the construction project is less expensive, with far more focus on detail.

Being an industry leader, Leisuretex Painting Contractors have been around the block countless times. With their stellar track-record and high calibre of painting, Brisbane painting projects have never been in more capable hands.

Leisuretex Painting Contractors, with their ‘Make it Happen and can-do attitude’, have applied their painting expertise in projects such as 757 Ann St, Fortitude Valley, a new construction building with a 5 star Green Star Office Design. They have also completed the super-luxurious Four Points by Sheraton, located in Brisbane. The project was a 32 storey building and has been described as the “first internationally branded, new-build hotel launched in Brisbane in the last 10 years”.

BBC Middle School Precinct

BBC

In time for the beginning of first term 2014 Leisuretex Property Maintenance have completed painting and rendering works to the new Middle School Precinct at Brisbane Boys’ College (BBC) in Toowong.

Work began on the newly constructed building in September 2013 with the external rendering of the building. From there our team moved to the internal painting of the precinct. Being purpose built and designed for boys aged 10 to 15 the colours and designs used really gave life to the building’s environment. “The changing educational landscape demands a holistic approach to creating learning environments and it’s this trend that has greatly informed the development of BBC’s new Middle School Precinct.”

The Brisbane Boys’ College Middle School Precinct painted by Leisuretex Painting Contractors consists of four levels, each dedicated to a specific year group with “Years 5 and 6 will be housed on the bottom level, [and] Years 7 to 9 occupying the remaining levels.” It also boasts 35 contemporary spaces designed for both group work and individualised learning, a two storey purpose built Junior School library, dedicated spaces for pastoral care activities and house meetings and a state-of-the-art science laboratory.

Along with the external rendering and painting and internal painting of the precinct, Leisuretex Painting Contractors also hand treated, sealed and finished  the timber soffits in the entryway and throughout the ground floor under cover area using specialised nano technology coating systems.

The finished Middle School Precinct cements Brisbane Boys’ College as a “K-12 educational facility without equal.”

The Capitol Apartments

Leisuretex Property Maintenance Contractors completed internal and external painting and rendering of the newly constructed “The Capitol Apartments” late last year.

“The Capitol Apartments offer one and two bedroom luxuriously appointed serviced apartments for long-term or short-term accommodation.”

The external painting of the building was completed by fully trained staff using a boomlift where possible and abseil ropes for areas harder to reach and finer work such as window edging. Leisuretex Painting Contractors has specially trained staff for all working at heights projects.

The leisure facilities all painted by Leisuretex Painting Contractors within the building include a stylish Restaurant / Bar “Peel St Kitchen”, lap pool, Day Spa “cspa” and Gymnasium which includes an outdoor leisure area for entertaining. A small conference room for up to 50 delegates is also located within close proximity to Peel St Kitchen.

Another service we provided for The Capitol Apartments was a faux marble finish to bench tops giving the overall look that something extra without the marble price tag or maintenance.

This is not the first building Leisuretex Painting Contractors have completed for Forrester Properties painting and rendering the South Central Apartments previously.
