METAL

Entrances, facades, elevators, window frames and signage often contain stainless steel, bronze, aluminum and decorative metal. These materials require attention to ensure that the aesthetic appearance retains its original luster.

OUR METAL SERVICES INCLUDE:

Maintenance & Cleaning
A contracted or one-time cleaning and conditioning can be initiated. This process preserves the integrity of the metal and assists in protecting and maintaining its beauty.

Refinishing
Stripping and re-graining restores the metal, and a spray application of industrial lacquers, polyurethanes or enamel protects metal surfaces and the underlying layers to bring back the proper luster.

Oxidizing
Not to be confused with natural oxidization, this is a chemically induced process that is applied to darken the metal and then highlighting to various degrees of colors ranging from black, dark, medium to light statuary. A coating is then applied to protect the metal.

Vandalism or Scratch Removal
Hand or Machine removal of vandalism or scratches and metal re-graining restores luster and creates an untarnished surface.

Fabrication and Installation
Metal fabrication and installation to match adjacent areas ensures a consistent finish throughout a property.

STONE

Whether its marble, terrazzo, limestone or granite, stone is used in many high traffic areas throughout a property, including lobby floors, sidewalks, plazas, passenger elevator lobbies and on walls and facades. Stone requires maintenance to preserve its integrity and finish.

OUR STONE SERVICES INCLUDE:

Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning to remove surface debris, embedded stains or graffiti with detergents or chemicals restores the appearance of stone surfaces.

Honing and Polishing
Honing with the use of sand screens or diamond pads removes scratches and prepares the surface for polishing through stone-glo or crystallization methods.

Repair
Various products and methods can be used to fill and blend in with existing material to repair surfaces containing chips, cracks or missing areas.

High Pressure Cleaning of Facades or Sidewalks
High pressure applied with hot or cold water (up to 4,000 PSI) removes surface debris and stains in combination with detergents or chemicals.

Scaling and Impregnating
Scaling and impregnating applications protect stone from vandalism, stains and improve its strength and color.

WOOD

Wood is usually chosen for its warm feeling and ability to be easily shaped. From cherry to bamboo to synthetic laminates, this attractive material requires regular conditioning and maintenance.

One of the most intriguing characteristics of wood to Platinum is its sheer versatility. Another lesser-known benefit of wood construction material is its advantageous thermal properties.
