To this day, the BROMOCO Network Certified Restoration Team receives many cases with the same problem: ‘multiple restorations in a short time period’. In these cases, the aesthetics do not last long after each previous restoration. This is due to the fact that people always try to use wax or other ‘sacrificial coatings’ to try to make the window frames look better when they are restored. Unbeknownst to them, this is a very short-lived and quite negative solution.
One reason people often choose wax coating is because it is convenient, but is it really? If we calculate the aesthetic retention period of the wax coating, the cost of maintaining the wax coated surface and frequent re-waxing, we can see that maintaining the aesthetics of this solution over time is quite uneconomical and labour-intensive.
The major issue with wax coatings is their vulnerability to harsh environmental conditions. When exposed to factors like high temperatures, UV radiation, acid rain, and chemical pollutants, these coatings deteriorate over time. This degradation is especially problematic for faded aluminum window frames, where the wax’s weakness against UV radiation can further diminish the quality and effectiveness of the restoration.
High temperatures pose another risk, as they can cause wax to melt or deform, reducing its ability to protect and restore surfaces like curtain walling. Given the large and exposed nature of curtain walls, maintaining their integrity is crucial, and wax coatings simply don't offer the resilience needed for effective restoration.
Additionally, wax coatings lack the chemical resistance required to withstand aggressive substances, making them ineffective in restoring faded powder coatings on aluminum frames or curtain walling. This susceptibility leads to premature wear and tear, undermining both the restoration work and the aesthetic goals.
The limited durability and chemical resistance of wax coatings also necessitate frequent maintenance, which can be both costly and time-consuming. Regular reapplication and constant monitoring are required to combat the adverse effects of environmental exposure, ultimately complicating the restoration process and driving up maintenance expenses.
If you have commissioned a frame restoration service using the wax-based products just mentioned, or if you are using wax-based or other ineffective short-term restoration coatings yourself, as well as if you don't know, but the frame is in the same condition as pictured above, then you may wish to consider the BROMOCO EVB-23309E solution.
You can easily discover the advantages of the BROMOCO solution in our mock-up comparison test. In fact, a single application of the BROMOCO EVB-23309E solution will eliminate the need for frequent maintenance and re-coating for a considerable period of time in the future, which would be a much more efficient solution than the use of wax-based coatings.
In fact, the wax coating has more than one disadvantage. Wax coatings are now obsolete, both in terms of their benefits and the positive effect they can have on surfaces. In the future, we will show you the other disadvantages of wax coatings in other areas so that you can better judge whether wax coatings can really meet your needs.
