Painters Union Building
|
The Project:
A new 74,143 square foot administrative building located in Aurora, a Chicago suburb. The building serves as the headquarters for the 3,500-member Painters and Allied Trades District Council #30, housing Union, Health and Welfare and Pension Fund offices and the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program. Training facilities include a state-of-the-art, self-contained abrasive blast booth and other spray booths. The new space was needed “to keep up with the training needs of our members as we prepare for the future of the industry, improve member services, increase public exposure and manage the costs of growth and development,” says Chuck Anderson, Secretary-Treasurer of the District Council.
The Painter:
Spray Specialists Inc., McHenry, Ill.
The Paint:
SuperPaint Exterior Latex Flat
The Challenge:
The union wanted a coating system that would prevent efflorescence problems on its new precast concrete panel building. Spray Specialists was selected for the job based on owner Bob Wargaski’s expertise and long history of success with these types of projects. He has been operating his company since 1972 and has handled many tough jobs such as the IKEA building in the Chicago area.
Wargaski used a proprietary gel mixture to prep the concrete to reduce the potential for efflorescence. Then he painted it with a system of two coats of Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint Exterior Latex, chosen for its superior color stability and resistance to fading and peeling.
