Lead Paint Removal Melbourne
In the past there has been considerable media
attention on the issue of lead paint Melbourne
but as new paint no longer contains lead the public have been led to believe
that lead in paint is no longer an issue. Far from it, lead paint can
still be around all of us daily; it is still hazardous if not dealt with in a
cautions manner, particularly when stripping paint work on an older property.
The decision to remove lead paint from a
pre-1970s property should be taken after careful consideration. Those
undertaking the removal must avoid producing dust, seal off the area, clean
thoroughly after stripping and make sure children and pregnant women are away
from the property when the stripping is taking place.
There are three viable paint stripping options
to remove the threat from your property suggested by the British Coatings
Federation to deal with lead paint:
1. Chemical paint stripping - a method of
stripping paint off wooden surfaces that involves applying a chemical coating or
dipping the wood into a chemical bath. This is expensive, messy and time
consuming. The amateur must take care as chemicals are highly toxic giving
off solvent fumes, so masks are essential, but masks don't protect against dust
so great care must be taken. The newly applied paint layers will often
fall off and flake prematurely, because even with great care small traces of
chemicals remain within cracks and gaps that stop the paint adhesion.
2. Heat Guns - do exactly as their name
implies, they use heat to soften paint off the surface allowing it to be
scraped easier. Their working area is relatively small as it is based on
the size of the aperture opening of the gun, hence completing large paint
removal projects is very time consuming. Using a heat gun to strip windows
makes precision direction to the necessary area difficult and causes
unnecessary window glass breakage.
3.
Infrared paint removal - the final method suggested by The British Coatings
Federation that sounds like a science fiction solution, but actually infrared
paint removal technology has been around for many years.
