A Solution for Self-Storage

When it comes to choosing paint and coatings for self-storage facilities, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the brand names you recognize from big-box hardware stores or specialty paint stores are "good enough" or that they will save you money. The reality is that your hard-working storage doors and other surfaces endure daily wear and tear. Off-the-shelf paints may offer a brief improvement in appearance, but that appearance will quickly fade, affecting the curbside appeal of your location and necessitating more frequent repainting to maintain the look of your doors and protect the metal substrate.

Roll-Up Doors

Your storage doors are constantly being bombarded. UV radiation breaks down the paint's binder and colorants. Repeated flexing as the doors are raised and lowered. Geographical effects with temperatures ranging from broiling hot to below freezing. Dirt and pollutants build up on the surface which can accelerate the weathering.

Paint that is merely "good enough" won't withstand these conditions as well as a paint that is made to withstand them. With off-the-shelf paints you will need to repaint more often. The tints and colorants used in off-the-shelf paints can fade dramatically in just one season of scorching sun on a hot metal door. Paint will chalk (oxidize) faster as the binders break down.

All of this leads to fading colors, product failure and more frequent repainting to maintain a 'like-new' look. Touch-ups applied a few months after the initial paint job will stand out because previously painted surfaces will have already faded enough to make the difference noticeable. Flaking, chipping, and other damages will start to accumulate, necessitating frequent repair and repainting when you use average paint designed for home use.

Cost Efficiency of Self-Storage Performance Paints

Self-storage performance paints are more cost-effective for several reasons. When applied as specified on a properly prepared substrate, they significantly outperform commonly available off-the-shelf paints. This superior performance results in a more durable surface coating, reduced color fading, and greater shine retention, as well as enhanced protection against dirt pickup. Consequently, you will need to repaint less frequently. These paints also offer superior coverage and hide-ability typically requiring less paint to obscure the substrate. These factors help reduce application costs and lead to substantial savings in labor and materials over the life of each door.
