Before and after: Nyalic clear finish metal protectant

In a prior post, we introduced the benefits of Nyalic and explained the process. Here, we’ll share a couple striking ‘before & after’ examples.

Quick Recap:

Nyalic is a clear coat, finishing product that when used on faded, oxidized pre-finished surfaces, rejuvenates and restores the surface to a like-new appearance, blocking UV rays and limiting chalking or discoloration. In our experience, we most commonly use it on metal window frames, flashings and railings.

Current Project in False Creek

 

Remdal is working hard on a concrete restoration and high-rise painting project in False Creek that includes Nyalic application to the window frames, flashings and railing. The window frame on the left has been cleaned and coated whereas the one on the right shows the faded, weathered condition many of these frames progress to over time.

 

This engineer-specified project also includes vent replacement. You can see the old vents we are removing (some falling off the building in the picture on the right) and the new, improved ones we already installed (on the left). The difference is significant.

Did they install new windows this summer?

In 2018, we painted an Abbotsford school and this project included applying Nyalic to the window frames. When the teaching staff saw how great the windows looked, one even asked if the windows were brand new. The photo shows the top floor completed and the lower floor has only been cleaned. It’s a great example of how Nyalic can rejuvenate these surfaces to their original beauty.

Can you just paint the frames?

Of course, painting is an option and some buildings choose to do so. That said, once you paint the metal frames, they become an ongoing maintenance item prone to peeling, chipping and fading. When access is challenging this can be a costly item to re-do every few years. Also, Nyalic refreshes the original finish so beautifully, it truly seems the best choice when it’s an option.

Key Takeaway:

Nyalic allows for a simple renewal of the clear finish. This is often more cost effective than painting the relevant surfaces, without the risk of peeling or future repainting maintenance costs. For a step by step of the process, visit our blog post here.

Mid-rise tower: exterior painting and building repairs in North Vancouver

North Vancouver mid-rise tower

The strata owners of this eight floor, 1989 built condo building in Lower Lonsdale are undertaking an exterior repaint and colour change. Council provided owners with sample mock-ups of the colour options on the building so they could preview them before they made their final decision. You can see the modern greys that were selected already being applied to the higher areas on the left.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Remdal team is carefully moving ahead with building cleaning and various concrete repairs using swing stages. COVID safety protocols continue to be a priority including twice daily temperature check and physical distancing.

   

Over the summer, we will see the dramatic transition from pastels to a modern, grey scheme that will rejuvenate and refresh this property.

The scope of work includes:

• Building envelope renewal
• Concrete repairs
• Balcony urethane membrane renewal
• Stucco repairs
• Sealant replacement
• Exterior painting
• Swing stage access

Stay tuned for more photos of this building.

If you have a building with similar needs, please contact us for a proposal, info@remdal.com or 604.882.5155.

Multi-building complex needing exterior painting, wood repair and safe access

This was an early season exterior painting & wood repair project across multiple buildings in Walnut Grove with a great deal of safe access requirements, including boom lifts, scaffolding, and traffic control.

 

It was a complicated project to coordinate but preparation and cooperation was rewarded with great results and an extremely happy group of strata council members and owners.

 

There were various challenging access areas but the project manager and foremen worked together to find the best solutions for the project and the strata. A great example of Your Project Done Right. 

 

If you have a project that needs the right approach to access and traffic control challenges then contact us here, or at info@remdal.com or 604.882.5155.

Commercial building painting: triumphing over challenges in Port Moody

It was time to change the colour on this three level commercial building painting project in Port Moody from yellow to modern grey tones.

 

The project was not without challenges. Boom lift access required extensive traffic control and permits. And close proximity to the hydro lines meant additional planning and coordination with BC Hydro and their contractor for cloaking of wires.

  

 

The team takes a short break but still maintains their physical distancing and COVID safety protocols.

  

Later in the project you can more clearly see final results. More great projects can be found here.

Please contact us for your next project proposal or email us at info@remdal.com
