Can a fresh coat of paint keep heating bills down? 

Companies across the UK are facing the challenge of rising gas and electricity bills, as the cost of living continues to hamper businesses in all industries, can a fresh coat of paint really help? Surprisingly, painted walls do in-fact increase the thermal efficiency of buildings. This fact extends to domestic, commercial and industrial properties. 

Industrial quality paint and coatings that are designed to last. 

Here at Shirley Industrial Painters, we know first hand that paint in the workplace needs to be able to deal with harsh environments. From knocks and scuffs, to quickly shifting temperatures, our industrial paint is able to weather the trials of the work day whilst still being able to provide effective, cost-cutting insulation. 

Studies have shown that, on average, modern paint coatings increase the thermal efficiency of a building by 20%. When applied correctly and sealed with a protective coating, modern, industry approved paint pays for itself.  If you would like to know more about the other benefits of industrial painting, our recent article on the FAQs of industrial painting services explores this in detail.  

 

Can paint help keep my industrial site cool?

 

Yes! Thankfully, the benefits of industrial painting aren’t limited to heat insulation. If heat is beginning to become an issue, often the cheapest and quickest way to remedy this is with a replacement layer of new paint. Lighter colours, such as white have refractive properties, ensuring that energy from the sun is bounced away from your building, protecting it and your team from excessive heat. 

Adaptable solutions to help your company fight the cost of living. 

Industrial paint is an adaptable tool that is just as suited to applications on floor tiles as it is the walls of a factory. In many cases, a refreshed coat of paint and protective layer is all your existing floor tiles will need to be back to their most efficient state. If you would like to learn more about the restorative services our team offers, give us a call on 03333 660 408.
