Revitalizing New York’s Skyline: A Window Sill Transformation Story

ThinTech has made it our mission to provide long-term cost-effective solutions from exterior structural to industrial asset production our coatings stand in harsh environments

Overview

ThinTech Coatings specializes in advanced coatings for various surfaces to prevent corrosion, enhance durability, and simplify maintenance. Two of our flagship products, ThinTech Concrete Coating Gloss and Metal Coating Gloss, were tested in multiple locations to combat hydrocarbon and bird waste corrosion, resulting in improved aesthetics and easier maintenance.

Challenges

  1. Urban Pollutants: Urban areas are often characterized by high levels of pollution, which can include emissions from vehicles, industrial processes, and various other sources. These pollutants can settle on surfaces, such as window sills, and lead to discoloration, staining, and an overall dingy appearance.
  2. Bird Waste: Bird waste, including droppings and residues, can be particularly damaging to surfaces. It contains acidic compounds that can corrode materials and cause staining. When bird waste accumulates on window sills, it not only affects their appearance but can also lead to long-term damage.
  3. Weathering: Weathering refers to the wear and tear that outdoor surfaces experience due to exposure to the elements. This includes factors like sunlight, rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations. Over time, weathering can cause surfaces to fade, erode, or deteriorate, impacting their appearance and structural integrity.
In this context, the window sills were subject to a combination of challenges posed by urban pollutants, bird waste, and weathering. These factors were collectively affecting the sills’ appearance, making them appear less attractive and potentially compromising their overall condition. Addressing these issues was necessary to restore the sills and ensure they remained in good shape.

Solutions

  1. Applied ThinTech Concrete Coating Gloss: This action involved the application of ThinTech Concrete Coating Gloss to the surface of the window sills. ThinTech Concrete Coating Gloss is a specialized coating product designed to provide a protective layer on concrete surfaces. Its primary purpose is to create a resilient barrier that guards against various environmental factors, including corrosion and staining. By applying this coating, the window sills gained a protective shield that acted as a barrier against the damaging effects of urban pollutants, bird waste, and weathering.
  2. Combat Corrosion: One of the key objectives of applying ThinTech Concrete Coating Gloss was to combat corrosion. Corrosion, which can result from exposure to pollutants and acidic substances like bird waste, can lead to surface damage, pitting, and deterioration. The coating’s protective properties reduced the sills’ vulnerability to corrosion.
  3. Combat Staining: Staining was another issue that ThinTech Concrete Coating Gloss effectively addressed. Stains caused by pollutants, bird waste, or other substances can mar the appearance of surfaces. The coating’s resistance to staining made it easier to clean and maintain the window sills, ensuring they remained visually appealing.
In summary, the application of ThinTech Concrete Coating Gloss served as a proactive measure to protect the window sills from corrosion and staining caused by urban pollutants, bird waste, and weathering. This protective coating contributed to the sills’ extended lifespan, improved appearance, and reduced maintenance requirements.

Results

Improved resistance to pollutants, easier cleaning, and enhanced aesthetics. Key Benefits:
  • Reduced hydrocarbon and bird waste corrosion, extending the lifespan of coated surfaces.
  • Enhanced visual appeal through minimized corrosion-related damage.
  • Significantly easier cleaning process due to reduced adhesion of contaminants.
  • Substantial reduction in surface contamination and staining.
  • Successful protection against environmental factors, preserving surfaces in various climates.

Conclusion

ThinTech Coatings’ successful trials and applications of ThinTech Concrete Coating Gloss and Metal Coating Gloss have demonstrated their effectiveness in preventing hydrocarbon and bird waste corrosion on statues and commercial building window sills across diverse locations. The coatings not only preserved the aesthetic integrity of the surfaces but also made them easier to clean and reduced contamination, leading to enhanced maintenance and extended surface life.
