Used by manufacturers, wholesalers, importers, exporters and distributors to store a wide variety of products, a warehouse experiences a high amount of foot and vehicle traffic throughout the day, which typically results in excessive wear and tear.
Since daily warehouse operations are extremely important, there’s a general tendency toward ignoring the importance of inspecting and painting a warehouse ceiling and walls on a regular basis. Even when a decision to repaint the facility is made, the main focus is on practicality and not on aesthetics. However, refreshing a warehouse with a new coat of paint is more important than many business professionals think. That’s because:
- Painting preserves and protects structures – Though there are several reasons for painting a warehouse ceiling and walls, preservation is high on the list. In Florida, any residential, commercial or industrial space needs to be protected from the harsh environmental factors. By painting both the inside and outside of your warehouse, you make it more resilient against UV radiation, high temperatures, excessive humidity, wind-driven rain and salty marine atmosphere.
- Warehouse appearance is vital – Since many people believe there is a strong correlation between the reliability of a business and its aesthetic appearance, poor curb appeal can drive customers away. Conversely, painting a warehouse ceiling and walls will convey the right message to current and prospective clients; show commitment to ensuring the health, safety and welfare of employees and customers; and maintain and even increase the value of the building.
- The right color palette can create a more unified look – When choosing paint colors for a warehouse painting project, it’s very easy to find shades that are synchronous with the logo. If your logo’s color scheme includes intense orange and light gray, for instance, you could paint your ceiling and walls a pale shade of peach instead of the “same old” white.
- A freshly painted space goes beyond appearance – Applying a coat of semi-gloss or gloss, light-colored paint isn’t only a relatively affordable way to transform your warehouse; it can also increase light reflectance by up to 88 percent. This will benefit your business in many ways. Besides lending a professional look to your warehouse, brighter ceiling and wall surfaces that facilitate light propagation throughout your facility will provide a safer environment for your staff and lower your electricity bills, as fewer lighting fixtures will be needed. In addition, a workplace that’s neat and clean will boost employee morale and performance, which will have a positive impact on the overall productivity.
- Painting a warehouse ceiling and walls regularly reduces business costs – Having a preventive painting maintenance program in place for your warehouse will make possible the early detection of different wall problems, including cracks, holes, damp spots, dry rot, mold growth, etc. This will allow professional painting contractors to implement the right remedial measures before small issues escalate into big problems, which may require extensive and costly repairs.
