Protective Coatings
Specialist protective coating solutions for commercial and industrial assets across New Zealand. Protrades Property Group provides surface preparation and coating application for steel, concrete, machinery and other demanding surfaces where protection, durability and long-term performance are important.
Commercial & Industrial Protective Coatings
Commercial and industrial environments often require coating systems designed to provide greater protection and durability than conventional decorative finishes.
Protrades Property Group provides protective coating services for commercial and industrial buildings, facilities, structures and assets. Existing surfaces, substrate condition, exposure and operational requirements are considered when determining appropriate preparation methods and coating systems.
From maintenance and refurbishment through to protective coating applications for demanding environments, works are approached with an emphasis on thorough preparation, coating compatibility and a professional finished result.
Protective Coating Services May Include:
Structural and previously coated steelwork
Concrete and masonry surfaces
Commercial and industrial building components
Plant, machinery and equipment surfaces
Workshops, warehouses and production facilities
High-wear and high-use areas
Maintenance and refurbishment coating programmes
Primers and protective coating systems appropriate to the substrate
Recoating of existing protective coating systems
Coating systems selected according to exposure, environment and intended service conditions
Surface Assessment & Preparation
Effective protective coating performance begins with understanding the condition of the existing surface and determining the preparation required before a coating system is applied.
Protrades Property Group assesses the substrate, existing coatings, surface condition and environmental exposure so that appropriate preparation methods can be selected for the project.
Preparation is approached systematically, with attention given to removing contamination, loose or deteriorated coatings and other surface conditions that may affect coating adhesion or performance.
Surface Preparation May Include:
Assessment of existing substrate and coating condition
Cleaning and removal of surface contaminants
Washdowns and pressure cleaning where appropriate
Removal of loose, flaking or deteriorated coatings
Scraping, sanding and mechanical preparation
Preparation of previously coated steelwork
Preparation of concrete and masonry surfaces
Localised remedial preparation and repairs
Removal or treatment of corrosion where appropriate
Priming and spot-priming of prepared areas where required
Protection and masking of adjacent surfaces and equipment
Preparation appropriate to the specified coating system and substrate
Protective Coating Systems
Protective coating systems are selected to provide appropriate protection and durability for the substrate, environment and intended service conditions.
Protrades Property Group considers the existing surface, exposure conditions, operational environment and project requirements when determining suitable coating systems. Where specified, products can be applied in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and project specifications.
Depending on the asset and environment, a coating system may incorporate primers, intermediate coats and finishing coats designed to work together as a complete protective system.
Protective Coating Systems May Include:
Primers appropriate to the prepared substrate
Protective coating systems for steel and metal surfaces
Coating systems for concrete and masonry
Corrosion-control coating systems where appropriate
High-durability coatings for demanding environments
Hard-wearing finishes for high-use surfaces
Maintenance and refurbishment coating systems
Recoating of compatible existing protective systems
Intermediate and finishing coats appropriate to the specified system
Coating systems selected according to substrate, exposure and intended service conditions
Application in accordance with relevant manufacturer recommendations and project specifications where required
Steel, Concrete & High-Wear Surfaces
Steel, concrete and other high-use surfaces can require additional protection where they are exposed to wear, moisture, operational activity or challenging environmental conditions.
Protrades Property Group provides preparation and protective coating application for a range of commercial and industrial substrates and assets. Each surface is considered according to its existing condition, previous coatings, exposure and intended service requirements before an appropriate preparation and coating approach is determined.
Where existing coatings are deteriorated, damaged or no longer providing suitable protection, remedial preparation and recoating can form part of a planned maintenance or refurbishment programme.
Areas & Surfaces May Include:
Structural and previously coated steelwork
Steel columns, beams and building components
Concrete walls, floors and structural surfaces
Masonry and previously coated substrates
Plant, machinery and equipment surfaces
Workshops, warehouses and production areas
High-use and high-wear surfaces
Service and maintenance areas
Commercial and industrial building components
Existing coated assets requiring maintenance or refurbishment
Surfaces requiring additional protection from operational or environmental exposure
Project Delivery & Site Management
Protective coating projects often require careful planning around access, operational activities, surrounding assets, equipment and site conditions.
Protrades Property Group takes a coordinated and practical approach to project delivery, with works planned around the requirements of the site, coating system and environment in which the project is being undertaken.
Consideration is given to work sequencing, surface preparation, coating application, access requirements and protection of surrounding areas, with clear communication maintained throughout the project.
Project Delivery May Include:
Staged work programmes to suit site and operational requirements
Coordination around staff, contractors and site activities
Planning of preparation and coating application sequences
Protection of surrounding surfaces, equipment and property
Access planning for elevated or difficult-to-reach areas
Coordination of access equipment and hired machinery where required
Consideration of suitable environmental and application conditions
Clean and organised work areas
Daily site preparation and clean-down
Coordination with other trades where required
Health and safety requirements appropriate to the worksite
Progress communication throughout the project
Final inspection and completion checks
Quality, Completion & Handover
Protective coating works require attention to preparation, application and finish through every stage of the project.
Protrades Property Group maintains a systematic approach to workmanship and site presentation through to project completion. Prepared and coated surfaces are reviewed as work progresses, with final checks undertaken before handover.
The objective is to deliver a professional and consistent protective coating finish appropriate to the substrate, specified coating system, environment and agreed scope of works.
Quality & Completion May Include:
Progressive quality checks throughout the works
Inspection of prepared and coated surfaces
Checking coating coverage and overall finish
Touch-ups and finishing where required
Checking edges, details and difficult-access areas
Removal of masking and protective coverings
Cleaning of coating-related work areas
Removal of materials and equipment on completion
Confirmation of agreed scope completion
Identification and completion of outstanding items
Final client or site representative walkthrough where appropriate
Professional handover of the completed coating works
