Anodized Aluminum Restoration

Metal surfaces of building façades are easily neglected. They suffer because of the assumption that these metals are virtually maintenance-free. Surprisingly, the original protective layers on these metals are only 1 or 2 mils (1/1000th of an inch) thick—quite literally, “paper thin.” Without proper care, protective finishes deteriorate and permanent damage occurs. Stuart Dean has special techniques that carefully remove harmful, dulling soil and pollutants. Restored surfaces are protected with both clear and colored high-performance coatings. Our systems renew the luster and both protect, and modernize the appearance of architectural metal curtain wall systems and building façades.

Stuart Dean‘s Specialty Services Division focuses on the restoration of architectural metal of curtain wall and building façade, with expertise in the restoration of anodized aluminum. We employ leading experts in the application of field-applied fluoropolymers and other high-performance coatings.
