Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we can shot blast gates in situ in most cases. We use containment systems and protective sheeting to prevent damage to surrounding areas. For complex restorations or gates with severe structural issues, removal may be recommended for workshop-based restoration.
No, our technicians are trained in working with decorative metalwork. We adjust blast pressure and media selection to safely clean intricate details without causing damage. Shot blasting actually reveals fine details that may be hidden under paint buildup.
Typical entrance gates can be shot blasted in 1-2 days depending on size and complexity. Large ornate gates or multiple gate sets may require longer. We work efficiently to minimize security disruption and can coordinate with your access control requirements.
We recommend hot-dip galvanizing for maximum longevity, powder coating for decorative finishes, or high-quality metal paint systems. The choice depends on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and exposure conditions. We can advise on the most suitable system for your gates.
