Professional Graffiti Removal

It may be vandalism, but it’s always very annoying. Graffiti on your building immediately diminishes its overall appearance. Moreover, cheap and aggressive spray paints or other paint products are often used, which can damage the underlying materials. In the long term, this leads to serious damage. Therefore, it is important to have the graffiti removed in a timely and professional manner.

When graffiti is sprayed on pre-painted steel, aggressive substances or blasting techniques are often used to clean it. While this may remove the graffiti, it also damages the underlying materials. You will always see a mark or notice that the coating has been affected.

Van Heemskerk removes graffiti professionally from pre-painted steel. We can also apply a new coat of paint in the same color. These high-quality paints are tinted on-site to achieve the exact right color. This way, we restore your facade to its original condition.

FAQ

What products do you use? Are they the same as those on the panels?

No color or panel is of course the same. Each new coil, despite having the same RAL code or name, has a different color or hue. This often occurs because most pigments for lacquers and paints are derived from nature, leading to variations with each delivery. With metallic finishes, there is another dimension known in the trade as ‘flop.’ This refers to how the metallic particles settle on the surface and can create a dark or light effect! It’s comparable to a long-haired carpet; the color doesn’t change, but when you rub over it, you get lighter or darker spots.

Buildings and cladding always discolor over the years! One of our specialties is that we can ‘re-tint’ the color on-site with the right pigments so that it matches the existing color.

Van Heemskerk has mastered the techniques to mix the best matching color during repairs! We strive to make repairs ‘invisibly unnoticed’ to the satisfaction of the customer!

What is an anti-graffiti layer or coating?

Anti-graffiti coatings are transparent lacquers that have a very fine structure, based on nanotechnology. Due to this dense structure, graffiti will have a hard time adhering to the substrate, discouraging vandals. Additionally, these coatings have a dirt-repellent effect and are easy to clean. Van Heemskerk is an expert in anti-graffiti coatings and knows how to apply them correctly.

Please note: applying it only to the lower parts or panels will result in a deeper color and gloss compared to the rest.

As a top layer over existing lacquer systems:

  • Lacquers based on nanotechnology;
  • Very dense structure, non-adhesive for graffiti;
  • Dirt-repellent and easy to clean;
  • Available in all colors;
  • Compatible with all coatings.
My anti-graffiti coating is peeling off, what now?

Some anti-graffiti coatings are not or are only slightly UV-resistant or chemically resistant. As a result, the top layer eventually peels off. In contrast, 2-component systems perform much better and have a longer lifespan.

Yes, the area of application is quite broad; please refer to other sections on the website for more information. For example, we repair aluminum frames and doors. We also work with composite or wooden structures. We usually have a solution, even if it’s not listed on the website.

I have damage; how can I best get in touch?

However, not everything can be accurately assessed with a photo, which is why we frequently have work appointments throughout the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. We can often combine visits to come by and assess the damage!
