Commercial vs. Industrial Painting
When you’re looking to paint a building, especially one used for business, it can be a serious undertaking. Not only do you want the job done correctly, but you need it painted in a timely manner. Finding a painter and getting estimates can be time-consuming. While any paint job is one of the easier cosmetic fixes for a building, you still want to get it right the first time.
Commercial and industrial painting are similar in that the end result is your building will be painted. But the overall goal of commercial and industrial painters is different, and the method in which a painting job is approached will vary as well.
Commercial painting is not dissimilar from residential painting in that the end result should look nice. Commercial painting is used in retail spaces where customers will eventually be present or in apartment complexes with many units to be painted for future tenants. In these commercial painting jobs, the paint should be durable for the high traffic expected in the space.
Commercial painting is larger-scale residential painting; time and care are spent to treat each surface independently, and areas are taped off or covered to be protected from spills or the brushes and rollers. Any resulting commercial painting will set the mood and tone of your business for years to come, and Omega Industries can help you get that polished look you’re hoping for.
On the other hand, industrial painting is generally thought of as preventative protection and may not always be typically seen by the general public: it is painting for warehouses and back storage rooms or factories. Other industrial painting may include painting cement or ductwork.
Industrial painting is primarily all about function over form. The result of industrial painting is a protective layer of paint that will withstand the hard-working conditions it will be exposed to. After an industrial painter has done their job well, your surfaces will be less prone to corrosion.
Remember that any industrial or commercial painter you hire should be fully licensed and insured and able to work with you to gather all necessary permits that are secured before starting any painting project. If your painter isn’t transparent about their paperwork, you should consider finding a more reputable company to work with, like Omega Industries.
