Tilt-up construction, a preferred method for erecting warehouses, distribution centers, and big-box retail stores, offers the significant advantages of time and cost savings. However, maintaining the structural and aesthetic integrity of these facilities is crucial to protect your investment against the natural wear and environmental challenges they face.

Problems You Have That We Can Solve
Over time, tilt-up concrete surfaces may show signs of paint degradation, including peeling, blistering, or fading. This not only affects the building’s aesthetics but can also expose the structure to elements, leading to more serious damage.
The corrosion of embedded metals such as reinforcing steel is a common problem in concrete structures. Rust stains not only mar the appearance but can also compromise the structural integrity of your tilt-up buildings.
This white, powdery residue of salts can form on concrete surfaces that are not well-protected, causing aesthetic and structural issues over time. Effective cleaning and protective coatings are essential for preventing future efflorescence.
Cracks in tilt-up walls can be due to construction errors, shrinkage, or environmental factors. Addressing these cracks promptly can prevent further damage and maintain the structural integrity of the building.
Tilt-up concrete requires specific treatments to prevent water penetration, which can cause damage to the building’s interior and exterior over time.
Continuous exposure to UV radiation can cause the paint on tilt-up buildings to fade and deteriorate, affecting the building’s aesthetic appeal and surface protection.

Prepping, Priming and Painting
Every commercial or industrial painting project involves the “3 P’s” of prepping, priming, and painting. Neglecting any one of them creates a weak link that can show up and cause issues very quickly.
Prepping
Having worked on numerous tilt-up buildings in many different environments across the country, Painters USA will determine the best cleaning methods and repairs with the right high-strength mortars and non-shrink grouts. Commercial painting project that skip or shortcut this step are bound to fail, costing more time and money to fix or redo.
Priming
Painters USA uses quality, acrylic-based masonry sealers and primers on all exterior concrete tit-up walls for moisture protection. Water penetration contributes to rusting of embedded metal, efflorescence, and other issues. Acrylic masonry primers and sealers are designed for the alkalinity of fresh concrete, and they are water and stain repellent for long term protection from the elements.
Painting
Poor surface preparation and the wrong paint for exterior masonry surfaces are the likely culprits of paint blistering, peeling, and other types of degradation. It’s important to balance cost and performance and use only quality, acrylic-based paints, which offer the necessary water resistance. Alternative paints may have compounds that decompose in reaction to moisture. Painters USA will always recommend the best products to help you reach the right balance.
