Care should be taken when applying coatings of any kind to building exteriors so that the solutions or emulsions used do not cause damage to other building components.

When it came time for the final inspections of visual appearance and dry film thickness, everyone on the project was amazed. The structural steel looked like a spotted cheetah!

When a new potable water tank was being built for the residents of St. Charles, it was decided that the tank would showcase the town name and its symbol.
