Structural Steel Painting
DALLAS, TX
Specialized coatings for exposed steel frames.
Professional Overview
Structural steel painting provides critical corrosion protection for exposed steel building frames, trusses, beams, columns, and other load-bearing structural elements. Dallas's industrial and commercial buildings often feature exposed structural steel requiring specialized protective coatings. Without proper corrosion protection, steel structures deteriorate, compromising structural integrity and creating safety hazards. Professional structural steel painting extends steel life indefinitely while maintaining the industrial aesthetic many Dallas properties feature.
Service Description
Structural steel painting encompasses complete surface preparation, anti-corrosion primer systems, and protective topcoats for all types of structural steel including wide-flange beams, columns, trusses, joists, bracing, and connections. We follow SSPC and AISC standards for surface preparation and coating application. Projects range from new construction steel coating to maintenance painting of existing structures and complete restoration of deteriorated steel frameworks.

Ideal For
Dallas Local Expertise
Dallas's industrial architecture includes extensive exposed structural steel from warehouse trusses to architectural steel in modern office buildings and restaurants. The industrial aesthetic is popular in developments like Deep Ellum and the Design District. Our team has coated structural steel in facilities ranging from manufacturing plants to upscale restaurants featuring exposed frameworks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does structural steel painting last?
Properly applied structural steel coatings last 15-25 years depending on coating system, environment, and exposure. Interior steel lasts longer than exterior. Harsh industrial environments or coastal exposures reduce life. Regular inspection and touch-up of damaged areas extends coating life significantly.
Can you paint structural steel in occupied buildings?
Yes, we regularly paint steel in occupied buildings. We use containment to control debris and overspray, coordinate with operations to minimize disruption, and can work during off-hours when necessary. Low-VOC coatings reduce odor concerns in occupied spaces.
Do you provide fire-rated coatings for structural steel?
Yes, we apply intumescent fire-resistive coatings that protect structural steel and provide fire ratings from 1-4 hours as required by building codes. These specialty coatings expand when exposed to heat, insulating steel and maintaining structural integrity during fires. All fire-rated work is documented and approved by fire marshals.
