Tips for Painting High Rise Buildings

The Indian Building code gives a clear definition for what a low rise building is. Considering the same, we can extrapolate it to understand that any building over 15 m in height is a high-rise building

Going a bit further, per general norms and industry standards, a building over 13 floors or more falls under the high rise category. Painting the exteriors of such high rises has their own challenges. Below are some tips from Glasshopper in our experience as high rise painting contractors and industrial chimney painting contractors in Chennai. 

1) Safety First

Painting high rises is a hazardous job due to the height involved. Always use a good rope access company. Ensure that they bring the requisite skills and experience to the job. Further, it is also necessary to go in for insurance, in case something were to go wrong with either the painting job or the resources involved. Whether it is facade glass cleaning, high rise building painting, industrial chimney services, Window cleaning services or industrial roof cleaning services Chennai, all of them involve work at heights and hence a cautious and safety-first approach. 

2) What is the surface?

It is important to understand what the exterior surface of the building is and to prepare it accordingly. The surface needs to be cleaned and, if necessary, all the unevenness must be fixed. Any cracks noticed have to be filled and vegetation removed. Proper preparation is the key to success as any moisture, dirt or debris will prevent the paint from adhering to the surface. 

3) Choice of Paint

The choice of paint depends not only on the budget, but also the weather conditions that are being experienced. In general, a painting job in a cold climate would be different from a paint job in hot and humid areas. Discuss this in detail with the painting contractor after making a detailed study and some market research. 

4) Plan and Implement

While a high-rise painting job is challenging, it is not impossible. Plan the activities, do your due diligence and implement with elan.
