Choosing Paint for High-Traffic Areas: A Guide for Body Corporate Committees

Choosing Paint for High-Traffic Areas: A Guide for Body Corporate Committees

As a body corporate committee member, you understand the importance of maintaining the appearance and functionality of your commercial property, especially in high-traffic areas like corridors, stairwells, and commercial kitchens. The choice of paint is critical to ensuring a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish that can withstand the demands of a busy environment. VJC Painting, luxury home painters serving Perth’s exclusive suburbs and Orelia, shares its expertise to guide you in selecting the right paint for your upcoming building exterior maintenance project.

Choosing the Right Paint for High-Traffic Areas

When it comes to high-traffic areas, the key considerations for paint selection are durability, stain resistance, and ease of cleaning. You’ll want a paint that can withstand frequent contact, be it from people, equipment, or food and grease splatters in a commercial kitchen setting.

For walls and ceilings, a premium-quality acrylic paint is an excellent choice. Acrylic paints are known for their durability and resistance to scuffs, marks, and stains. They also tend to be low-odor and low-VOC, making them a safer option for occupied spaces. Look for a paint with a semi-gloss or satin finish, as these tend to be more durable and easier to clean than flat finishes.

For floors, a two-part epoxy paint is ideal. Epoxy paints are extremely durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic and the weight of equipment and furniture. They are also chemical- and stain-resistant, making them perfect for kitchens and food service areas. Epoxy paints provide a smooth, seamless finish that is easy to clean and maintain.

Handle Permit Requirements and Compliance Issues Like a Pro

Before commencing any painting project in a commercial space, it’s crucial to handle permit requirements and compliance issues. VJC Painting is well-versed in the permit process and can guide you through the necessary steps to ensure your project complies with local regulations.

Depending on the scope of the work and the specific requirements of your local council, you may need to obtain development approvals, building permits, and comply with health and safety regulations. Our team can assist in preparing the necessary documentation and plans, ensuring your project runs smoothly from start to finish.

FAQs

Q: How do I choose the right paint for my commercial kitchen?

A: Commercial kitchens require a paint that can withstand high temperatures, grease, and moisture. We recommend a two-pack epoxy paint, which is highly durable and resistant to these elements. It provides a hard-wearing, long-lasting finish that is easy to clean and maintain.

Q: What paint finish is best for high-traffic areas?

A: In high-traffic areas, such as corridors and stairwells, opt for a semi-gloss or low-sheen finish. These finishes are more durable and resistant to scuffs and marks than flat or matte finishes. They also tend to be easier to clean, ensuring the area maintains a fresh and well-maintained appearance.

Q: How do I minimise disruption during the painting project?

A: At VJC Painting, we understand the importance of keeping your business running smoothly during the painting project. Our team works efficiently and can offer flexible work hours to minimise disruption. We also ensure the work area is left tidy and safe at the end of each workday.

Q: What other surfaces can VJC Painting refresh besides walls?

A: In addition to painting, we can refresh and rejuvenate a range of surfaces. Our services include plastering to repair and prepare walls, rendering to create a smooth or textured finish, and texture coating to transform and protect exterior walls. We also offer roof restoration and painting to complete the transformation of your property.

Q: Are there any colour options or trends I should consider?

A: Absolutely! Colour can play a significant role in the atmosphere and perception of your commercial space. Consider a feature wall with a bold colour or a fresh, modern palette to update the look and feel. Our colour consultants can provide expert advice on colour schemes and trends to ensure your space makes a lasting impression.
