One thing that you should know is that commercial painting isn’t the same as industrial painting – they are different. And not many business owners would be able to tell the difference, and that leads to confusion when it comes to hiring painters. The good news is that we will clarify this confusion for you today;
Commercial painting
When we talk of commercial painting, it’s quite straightforward. You see, these painters will paint your building as if it were commercial premises, such as malls, restaurants, and pubs. They leave nothing to chance, whether it’s cracks or outdated colours, they will make sure that the building has an updated look. When it comes to your business, a lot of people tend to ‘judge the book by its cover’, meaning that customers judge your business, based on how the premises look. This is why we have put so much emphasis on ensuring that both the interiors and exteriors looks are updated as regularly as possible. Commercial painters mostly use acrylic, latex-based paints, as they dry pretty quickly than other paint types. Something else is that commercial premises are mostly painted during business hours when it’s the busiest, which is why latex paints are preferred as they don’t interfere with the business operations.
Industrial painting
Industrial painters mostly use oil-based paints, which take longer to dry. The reason why they use this type of paint is that they mostly paint rooms with higher temperatures or where gases are being released. The paints can handle such environments, and will remain in place for a long time – latex paints will peel off pretty quickly. Also, you will mostly find that industrial painters do have more equipment for the job as they tend to deal with bigger surfaces, which is actually one of the biggest differences between the two.
Final word
As we have seen, there are a number of key differences between commercial and industrial painters – one being the paints used, and the other the durability of the paint. And as you know, both types of paints are used, but in different areas. Our Los Angeles painters provide both services, and they will let you know of other differences, thereby helping understand the two better. Give us a call today!
