Our technology
involves introducing cob, glass bead, sodium bicarbonate or potassium
sulfate formulations into a low pressure air stream. This enriched
air stream is finely tuned for size, flow and pressure then directed
at the surface to be de-painted. These fine fragments cut into the
coatings then explode from the force of being blasted. The tiny explosions
help lift away coatings while greatly minimizing any damage to the
cedar or other wood below.
Through
Dwight Hoel, President of Canadian Cedar Log Ltd. (CCL) we were able
to test and perfect our revolutionary process on an original CCL home
in Okotoks, Alberta. This home had portions of failing original finish
and numerous other coatings that had been applied by the owners through
the years. Not only did we handle this challenge but we exceeded the
expectations of Dwight Hoel and the crew from CCL. And we blew away
our competitions results (sandblasting, pressure washing and chemical
strip). That original test was in the Spring of 1998 and we've gone
on to strip coatings from hundreds of homes since, all with the same
remarkable results and satisfied customers.
What
you can expect
1.
We discuss our process with you, to best determine your needs. We
request photographs, blueprints or drawings in order to determine
what special considerations there may be, such as, walk-outs, ornate
gardens, slopes, etc.
2.
Based on this information we review, plan and generate a bid for
your consideration.
3.
Upon approval of the bid, we create a schedule. Our trained and
professional crew will be on time and fully prepared to:
Prepare
your home by carefully removing or protecting any surfaces not suitable
or intended to be blasted.
Blast
with the formulation chosen to suit the needs of your environment.
Blast
with high pressure air to ensure dust and coatings are completely
removed.
Buff
with our special buffing pads, the entire surface of your home.
Blast
once again, with high pressure air to ensure all dust and residual
material is removed.
Clean
up. We perform a thorough post-job clean-up.
We recommend
at least 24 hours of settling time prior to applying any coating after
our process.
We have
achieved remarkable results with our unique process yet NaTECH Industries
Inc. continues to innovate and develop new blast media and processes,
furthering our commitment to provide the highest quality of wood and
cedar log home surface preparation.
