Commercial Painting

When hiring a commercial painter there are certain points to consider.

• Are the Painting Contractors fully insured?

• Are they experienced with working around office staff?

• Can they work evenings, nights or weekends if necessary?

• Are they knowledgeable about the latest paints and coatings?

A commercial painting project can last a few days or even weeks, depending on the size of the office building and scheduling arrangements.

Painters will be walking around the office for a few days, practically being part of the work community.

For that reason you want painters that are uniformed, polite and well trained to provide customer service on a daily basis.
Everyday work and routine of the office staff cannot be interrupted significantly. Dust from preparation work and sanding has to be contained. Freshly painted areas need enough drying time before being put back to service. Scheduling the areas to be painted takes daily communication between facility managers and the paint contractor. “Wet Paint” signs have to be used at all times.

The smell of paint and Indoor Air Quality is a significant issue these days. Paint manufacturers have developed coatings with low or zero VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) to reduce air pollution. Is your Paint Contractor knowledgeable about the latest developments in zero VOC paints? Sometimes something as simple as choosing a darker co lour can increase the smell of paint dramatically. The latest paints have colorants that are waterborne, making it easy to choose any co lour without affecting the Indoor Air Quality of the Office Building.

Sometimes it is impossible to take care of the above issues without doing most of the work during evenings and weekends. The painting Contractor should be able to accommodate that by having enough trained painters available to work weekends and evenings. In that case, paint will be dry, furniture will be put back in place dust will be cleaned and the smell will almost disappear by the time everyone gets back to work.

Dimensional Finishes

Instead of using regular paint and a solid color for painting your accent wall, try faux painting finishes like venetian plaster, antique crackle, stone imitations or denim.

Adding a mural to the accent wall will make the room come alive and will create a unique theme and mood in the room.

You don't have to use paint in order to create an accent wall - wallpaper is a great alternative to wall painting and is just as versatile and beautiful

Shapes & Accents

Break up the accent wall with wood strips and molding, and paint them in the trim color.

Draw a large geometric shape on your wall (square, rectangular, half-circle, etc), fill it with an accent color and then outline it with strips of molding for a more finished look.

Leave a 20" wide vertical gap of white space in the middle of your accent wall, then hang artwork down the center.

Decadent Colors

Consider a gold, silver or copper leaf finish for your accent wall - the result can be breath-taking. A cheaper, faster and easier way is to use metallic paint

One of the boldest wall painting ideas (not for the faint of heart) is a black accent wall. Most people are afraid of black color and think it will look goth and depressing. But when done right, a black accent wall can look absolutely stunning and even fresh, positive and inviting.
