Expert Interior & Exterior House Painters in Great Yarmouth

Paint spraying can be used for many applications. Paint spraying provides a more uniform application than the traditional brush and roller, which means the finish is superior. Paint spraying can be used for internal walls and ceilings, external masonry, cladding, roofs, windows, metal work and much more. Paint spraying can also be used for getting a painting project done much faster, therefore meaning less downtime for the business or person that the work is being done for.

Grit blasting, or abrasive blasting, is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface or remove surface contaminants. Grit blasting is particularly useful for the removal of rust and old failing paint coatings to bring an old tired surface back to a bare, sound substrate. Grit blasting is also hugely effective in preparing corroded metal and poor masonry surfaces.

Abrasive blasting works by forcibly propelling a stream of material against a surface with a grit blasting rig and large compressor. The blasting rig is filled with abrasive blasting media and the compressor is used to create enough pressure to fire the grit at very high velocity, on to the surface. This process will remove rust, contamination, salts, old failing coatings and damaged concrete to leave a clean, even surface ready for a coating system to be applied.

Grit blasting is classed as hot work because it can create sparks on the surface being blasted and also heats the surface as the friction from the abrasion of the grit hits the substrate.

Like grit blasting, steel grit blasting is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a metal surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, but more specifically is usually used on newly fabricated structural steel to slightly roughen the surface in order for an anti-corrosive primer to be applied to prevent the steel from rusting. Steel grit blasting is also used on rusted or corroded steel to remove the rust and corrosion to create a new, bright steel surface with no rust or contaminants, prior to re-painting with an anti-corrosive coating system. Steel grit blasting is the best possible preparation available for preparing corroded metal surfaces.
