Defeat Vandals with Anti Graffiti Coatings
A great deal of time and money is spent on designing and constructing buildings that are not only fit for purpose and as energy efficient as possible, but also visually attractive. However, all that effort can be spoiled if the building becomes a target for spray-paint wielding vandals.
Graffiti is not only unpleasant to look at but can cost businesses and government organisations a lot of money to clean up. One way to minimise this problem is to coat vulnerable buildings with a protective product that enables the surface to be easily cleaned. Anti-graffiti coatings can be sealants that dry clear and are invisible, or paints in a wide range of colours.
Featured Company – Actel Coatings
Top quality anti-graffiti coatings are among the products manufactured and supplied by Actel Coatings. The Scottish company has won several awards for its innovative, environmentally-friendly products which include Enviroguard and Armaglaze.
Enviroguard is in demand to protect the porous façades of public buildings, supermarkets, civic areas and monuments. It has a proven track record for providing low cost graffiti protection and enabling easy cleaning with hot water without damaging soft substrates, saving on maintenance costs. It is invisible on stone, reconstituted stone, concrete or brick surfaces and can be applied at new build or during refurbishment. The solvent-free product was chosen to protect the new Scottish parliament building and civic areas in Edinburgh and applied by Actel Coatings’ own contracting team.
Armaglaze is an extremely durable anti-graffiti paint for prestigious buildings, road tunnels and subways, hygiene applications and food and drink processing sites. It provides a service life of more than 20 years during which time it can be repeatedly cleaned with a solvent-based graffiti remover. The coating resists fade and is mould resistant. It comes in a wide range of colours and can be used on properly prepared concrete, steelwork and many other construction materials.
Actel Coatings develops its own products and has a reputation for innovation and environmental responsibility. Its products have proved effective over many years in hostile climates and locations. For further information, visit the website.
