How to protect horizontal surfaces from graffiti, grease, grunge and grime
We recommend our 4G Surface Guard for the preservation and maintenance of natural surfaces such as concrete tile and stone. It is specifically designed for any mineral surface and optimized for both FLOORS ( with maximum abrasive resistance) and WALLS (maximum graffiti resistance).
Choosing the right pigments and paints for a mural
Choosing the right paints can be tricky because of so much variability across manufacturers. Lightfastness is not the only metric to look at when evaluating paint performance outdoors. Murals challenge paint films with more extreme conditions, many which would rarely be present for an indoor easel painting at a given time. Paint films will often experience high temperatures, exposure to moisture and humidity, moss, bacteria and fungi, while also gradually accumulating carbon monoxide and other chemical pollution in the air. Murals can be exposed to caustic materials, harsh solvents, and purposeful damage, which is why choosing the right pigments also require artists to properly prepare walls, and consolidate thoroughly.
What is the difference between permanent & sacrifical graffiti coatings?
First, A quick word on so called permanent anti-graffiti coatings.
Over the past 30 years we have seen many anti-graffiti coatings come onto the scene very often touting the latest and greatest technology in 'permanent' anti-graffiti coatings. They invariably promise to make cleaning graffiti easy in the future, and often come at great cost to building owners, having to be applied under the exact right circumstances, by contractors who have been trained or licensed to use the product.
