When you are planning an iron fencing project, an important
aspect of the entire project are maintenance questions such as: How well will
the factory applied finish hold up to the weather? What is the life expectancy
of the original finish? Empire Fencing uses electrostatic coatings and paints
on all of its iron fencing and tennis fencing
projects.
Electrostatic painting is the best, most efficient, and longest lasting method
of coating a fencing project.
How Electrostatic
Painting Works
The truism that opposites attract is used in practice when it
comes to electrostatic painting. If you have ever had to paint a small fence by
hand or with a spray gun, you understand how messy, wasteful and time-consuming
the process is. Imagine if you could just have the paint “stick” to the fence
when you applied it, no missed spots, runs, drips, overspray or mess! That is
the beauty of electrostatic painting.
The concept behind the process is simple: Create a negative
charge on the fence and a positive charge in the paint or coating. When you
spray the paint on the fence, it sticks to every nook and cranny, with little
overspray, creating a void-free paint job that looks beautiful. While the concept
is simple, the practice is much more involved. The process requires highly
specialized equipment that takes a skilled person to operate correctly.
Finishes Applied in Our
Warehouse, Unlimited Color Selection
Most of the electrostatic painting process is completed in
our warehouse. Empire has a large enough facility to handle any size project;
we do all of our finishing in-house, we do not use any subcontractors. Our shop
uses only industrial grade paint products. The first step in the process is to
apply an epoxy-based primer, sealing the steel against penetration and damage
from the sometimes harsh Arizona weather.
The factory is environmentally controlled, and the finishes
are applied perfectly to the fence. A correctly applied electrostatic finish
will last for many years and require minimal maintenance. If your fencing
installation requires on-site welding, Empire also can touch-up and apply
electrostatic finishes on site. And with our process, we offer you unlimited
color options! When you bring your creative fencing project to us, we will make
it a reality. Our experience in the fencing industry guarantees you a perfect finish.
