Paint shops
BEI also operates 3 in-house paint shops which can provide an internal capacity of 5400 sq ft. A recent major investment in the latest heating and extraction systems has enabled us to increase our capacity and reduce leadtimes.
We have the capability to paint up to 1000 columns per week, enabling us to assist with PFI contracts and large projects.
We offer finishes from simple T-Wash and Etch Primer, to Department of Transport specifications, such as G2A and G2B, PSX, Glass Flake Root treatments and top coat RAL finishes to any specific colour required.
Using the latest paint technologies, such as PSX700, and Glass Flake Root finishes we can provide our customers with high specification products that greatly extended a columns life.
We also have the flexibility to paint to a customers specific requirements.
