Gradient Smoke Stack

Commercial & Specialty

After painting: blue gradient smoke stack standing above an industrial building under dark clouds

This was a highly technical and collaborative project involving engineers, inspectors, safety consultants, environmental consultants, and a board of owner representatives. The stack was transformed from an eyesore into a visually striking feature through advanced coating techniques. We custom-mixed over 30 colours and expertly spray-blended them to create smooth transitions between tones. The result was a unique, high-impact finish that turned a functional structure into a standout architectural feature.

Exterior Staircase Recoat

The existing coating on this staircase had failed significantly, requiring extensive cleaning and surface preparation before recoating. Once prepared, we applied a single-component moisture-cured urethane with aluminum flakes for enhanced durability. This system functions as both a highly protective primer and a hard-wearing finish, delivering long-term resistance in a high-traffic environment.

Barn Roof Coating

The existing roof was showing signs of corrosion and required a durable protective coating system. We selected a single-component moisture-cured urethane with aluminum flakes to provide strong adhesion and long-term protection against the elements. The finished result is a well-protected roof with a clean, uniform appearance and enhanced durability.
