Location

Wisconsin

Inside a large industrial warehouse, rows of gray metal lockers sit beside a small white office enclosure with a bench, under a high truss ceiling with bright overhead lights and equipment racks in the background.

Client and Facility Overview

Our client, a food distribution warehouse in Wisconsin, has been in the business of efficiently managing and distributing food products for years. The facility includes multiple storage areas, sorting stations, and loading docks. Given the nature of the business, maintaining a bright, clean, and safe environment is crucial.

Decision Driver and Timing

The driving factor for this project was the dark and dirty condition of the ceiling, which created a shadowy and dingy environment. This negatively impacted visibility and safety, key concerns for warehouse operations.

Scope of Work

Scheduled Plant Shutdown: Carried out the project during a scheduled plant shutdown to avoid any disruptions.
Protection Measures: Covered all racks and flooring with tarps to protect them from paint.
Dryfall Paint Application: Applied dryfall paint to the ceiling, which dries almost instantly and falls to the floor as dust.
Post-Project Cleanup: Cleaned up tarps and the surrounding area after completion.

Notable Details

A key outcome of the project was improved visibility. By applying a light color to the ceiling, light reflection is increased, reducing the need for additional lighting and creating a safer and more pleasant working environment.

The use of dryfall paint was crucial for this project. This paint dries quickly, minimizing the risk of damage to inventory and ensuring a fast, efficient painting process. The flexibility of working during a plant shutdown further facilitated a seamless project execution.

Client Satisfaction

The client was very pleased with the results. The new bright ceiling not only improved the overall aesthetics of the warehouse, but also contributed significantly to improved visibility and safety for their employees. They appreciated the professionalism and efficiency that Painters USA demonstrated throughout the project.
