When it comes to your commercial space, appearance is everything. From increasing productivity to boosting sales, strategic interior design can have a major impact on a business's success. 

Painting industrial equipment might seem like a decorative folly. But perhaps your team has worked on these machines just fine for months or even years? So what exactly could a paint job do to improve the quality and productivity of your facility?

If you are a water tower owner or operator, sooner or later, you will need to have your tower painted. Water Tower painting is not only an important maintenance activity, but it can also be a way to improve the appearance of your water storage unit and even increase its lifespan. In this blog post, we will discuss how water towers are painted and provide some tips on how you can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

The wall across from your couch is smudged with little fingerprints. In your kitchen, things are looking pretty dingy; but wouldn’t you after ten years of breakfast, lunch and dinner splattered on your face? And don’t even get started about the colors. The contractor that built your house picked them, and honestly, they just make you sad. It’s time to paint your kitchen and living room.

If you’re thinking about painting, coating or sealing your home’s concrete floors – whether that’s your garage, basement or other auxiliary space – you have a few choices to make. The two most common concrete finishes for homes are polished concrete and coated concrete. Both are beautiful, durable, and inexpensive when compared to other types of flooring. But both have different benefits and use cases. So, let’s take a look at them side by side based on a few common criteria you might be thinking about.

So, you’ve got a concrete-floored garage (or basement) that’s in need of a little love. The floor kicks up dust, feels a little gritty and dirty no matter what you do to clean it, and you’d like the space to be a little nicer, a little more usable.

So, you’ve finally got the potential to have the garage of your dreams. Storage galore. Space for all your toys and tools. Maybe even a permanent home for that vintage coupe you’ve had your eye on. It’s all coming together. And choosing a coated garage floor might just be the foundation to build it all upon.

Of all the facility types in the world, medical facilities – from doctor’s offices to emergency rooms, outpatient clinics to pediatric oncology units – are the most constantly, endlessly in use. The medical industry is 24/7/365 – it never stops, and its buildings rarely close their doors.

Healthcare facilities are undoubtedly a special building type. From the proprietary equipment that fills its rooms, to the ultra-durable materials that line walls, floors, ceilings and more, every surface in healthcare must be carefully considered to provide maximum cleanability, safety and sanitary properties.

To a painting contractor, a healthcare facility – a hospital, surgery center, doctor’s or dentist’s office – is a pretty special place. Not just for the help and healing that’s accomplished there, but because each room's surface must be specialized: designed to repel contaminants, clean easily, stand up to harsh antibacterial cleaners, and in the case of floors, stay seamless and non-slip when dry. Refreshing rooms with such specific requirements is a tall order to fill – but one that an experienced healthcare painting contractor (like Custom Coatings), can handle with speed, safety, and around your healthcare facility’s busy schedule. The most amazing thing about healthcare painting and coatings recently however is the invention of antimicrobial coatings.
