Lockers & Office Furniture in Ottawa

Older steel office furniture is often built heavier than what replaces it. A filing cabinet or steel desk from decades ago frequently has thicker metal and sturdier drawer slides than a new one, and the only thing wrong with it is the colour and the scratches. Sending it out the door means paying for new furniture, paying for disposal, and putting a perfectly sound piece of steel into the waste stream.

Electrostatic painting refinishes this kind of furniture where it sits, or in a corner of the building set aside for the job. Rows of lockers in a school, gym or staff room can be done in place, with the paint wrapping into the vents, louvres and door edges that make lockers so awkward to paint any other way. Filing cabinets, steel desks, shelving, washroom partitions and building mailboxes all take the same treatment, which lets an office change its whole colour scheme without changing its furniture.

Each piece is cleaned of hand oils, old labels and adhesive residue, then scuff-sanded so the new coat bonds. Locks, handles, name plates and drawer pulls are masked, and the floor and nearby walls are covered. Drawers and locker doors are emptied beforehand and propped open while they set, so nothing sticks shut. Where staff or students are nearby, low-odour coatings are used and the work is planned around the hours the space is busiest.
