The expensive solution: REPLACEMENT
New ceiling panels and wall coverings are frequently utilized to treat problem areas. However, this is the most expensive option, and not always best because the lights, return air vents, air diffusers, speakers, and acoustic tile grid work have not been replaced... or even cleaned. The clean, new ceiling tiles and wall coverings make the dirty air vents and light panels even more noticeable than they were to begin with.
The wrong solution: PAINTING
Painting is normally chosen as an alternative to replacement, because it costs less. Since cleaning is even less expensive than painting, doesn't our process make more sense? Not convinced... then read on.
What happens after painting usually makes management wish they had a better option. Painting is a lot like sweeping your dust and dirt under your rugs! The grease, nicotine, and dirt that you covered with paint, were just that - covered. They are still there under the paint. Over time, dirt, grease, and odors bleed into and through the paint.
Painting fills the small, sound-absorbing pits in acoustic ceiling tiles, which destroys their sound absorbing ability. Instead of having sound absorption, the result is sound reflection. Instead of the coziness of friendly chatter, the annoyance of a constant din takes over. Not only have the tiles been permanently damaged but they end up looking worse!
Paint is a flammable material . The local fire inspector... and your insurance agent... won't like the fact that instead of having a fire "break" for a ceiling, you now have a fire "path."
The best solution: CLEANING
Cleaning removes contaminants quickly and efficiently. It is the least expensive, most efficient method of restoring your ceilings and walls to their original condition.
