At Alberta Painters Co., we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional painting services that stand the test of time. Recently, we embarked on an exciting project: the transformation of a commercial exterior in Northwest Edmonton. This project required not only aesthetic appeal but also long-lasting durability to ensure the storefront maintained its fresh and inviting look for years to come.
The Importance of Preparation: Power Washing and Sanding
The journey to a flawless finish begins with meticulous preparation. For this commercial exterior, we started with a thorough power washing to remove any dirt, grime, and old paint residues. This step is crucial as it ensures a clean surface for the primer and paint to adhere to, preventing peeling and flaking in the future.
Next, we carried out light sanding. Sanding is essential for smoothing out any rough areas and creating a slightly abrasive surface that enhances the bonding of the primer. This step also helps in identifying any imperfections or damages that need repair before the painting process begins.
Priming for Perfection: The Bonding Primer
Once the surface was clean and smooth, we applied a coat of high-quality bonding primer. A bonding primer is specifically designed to adhere to surfaces that might otherwise be challenging for paint to stick to. It ensures that the subsequent layers of paint will firmly adhere to the surface, providing a solid foundation for a durable finish.
The Finishing Touch: Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior Paint
For the final coats, we chose Benjamin Moore Aura exterior paint, a product renowned for its outstanding durability and color retention. Here’s why we opted for Benjamin Moore Aura for this project:
- Exceptional Durability: Commercial exteriors are constantly exposed to the elements, from harsh sunlight to heavy rain and snow. Benjamin Moore Aura is formulated to withstand these conditions, ensuring the storefront remains vibrant and protected for a longer period.
- Fade Resistance: One of the biggest challenges with exterior paints is color fading due to UV exposure. Benjamin Moore Aura’s advanced technology provides superior fade resistance, maintaining the storefront’s bright and attractive appearance year after year.
- Long-Lasting Finish: The client emphasized the need for a long-lasting and durable finish. With Benjamin Moore Aura, we delivered a finish that not only looks beautiful but also stands up to wear and tear, ensuring the storefront remains pristine with minimal maintenance.
To achieve this durable finish, we applied two coats of Benjamin Moore Aura exterior paint. The first coat was carefully applied to ensure even coverage and a strong base. After allowing sufficient drying time, we applied the second coat, which provided a rich, vibrant color and an added layer of protection.
The Result: A Stunning and Durable Storefront
The transformation of the commercial exterior in Northwest Edmonton is a testament to our commitment to quality and durability. The combination of thorough preparation, the right primer, and the superior qualities of Benjamin Moore Aura exterior paint resulted in a storefront that not only looks stunning but is also built to last.
At Alberta Painters Co., we understand that a commercial exterior is more than just a building; it’s a representation of the business within. That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure that our painting projects meet the highest standards of excellence.
