🔵⚪️ Exchange Quay, Salford – Architectural Totem Refurbishment

🏢 The Client

Exchange Quay is a major office campus within the Media City and Salford Quays district, welcoming thousands of workers daily. Its distinctive entrance totems form an important part of the estate’s visual identity and visitor experience.

🎯 The Challenge

Years of UV exposure had caused the original powder-coated finishes on the entrance totems to fade, discolour, and deteriorate.

The client required a specialist refurbishment to restore the totems’ appearance using architect-specified colour schemes. With more than 48 individual colours involved, the project demanded precision masking, detailed sequencing, and flawless spraying—all within a busy pedestrian environment.

🛠 Our Approach

ACS Coatings deployed a specialist team to complete a full refurbishment programme across all entrance totems.

Works included:

• Detailed preparation and removal of failed coatings
• Surface repairs to UV damage, scratches, and defects
• Precision masking for clean multi-colour transitions
• Specialist spray application using architect-approved colour palettes
• Controlled colour sequencing and staged curing throughout

Each totem was treated as a bespoke architectural feature to ensure exact colour matching and a premium finish.

⚙️ Project Delivery

Due to high footfall across the estate, works were delivered predominantly out-of-hours, including evenings and weekends.

• Safe working zones established to protect pedestrians
• Coordination with site management, security, and maintenance teams
• Adaptive spraying methods used to manage wind tunnel conditions
• Multi-stage masking and curing process to maintain clean colour separation

Careful sequencing and quality control ensured consistency across every totem.

🏆 The Result

The entrance totems were completely transformed into striking architectural features.

✅ More than 48 colours restored with precision
✅ Clean lines and flawless finishes achieved throughout
✅ Enhanced visual identity across the Exchange Quay campus
✅ Long-lasting protection against weathering and UV exposure

The client praised the team’s attention to detail, project coordination, and quality of finish—leading to ACS Coatings being awarded additional restoration works across the site.

🔵⚪️ Social Media Post: Why Planning Is Critical in Architectural Painting

📋 Great Painting Projects Start With Great Planning

The success of any architectural painting project starts long before work begins. Careful planning helps avoid delays, improve efficiency, and deliver a finish built to last.

🔍 Assessing Surfaces & Environmental Conditions

Every building is different. Surface condition, weather exposure, moisture levels, and environmental factors all need to be assessed to ensure the correct preparation and application process.

🎨 Selecting the Right Coating System

Choosing the right coating system is essential for performance and durability. The wrong product can lead to premature failure, while the right one protects and extends the life of the building.

🕒 Scheduling Around Operations

In occupied or operational environments, planning is key. Works often need to be carefully scheduled to minimise disruption to residents, staff, or day-to-day business activities.

⚡ Efficiency Through Preparation

Good planning keeps projects running smoothly, improves safety, reduces downtime, and ensures work is completed efficiently with minimal disruption.

✅ Takeaway:

Great results don’t happen by accident. Strong planning ensures the right systems, smooth delivery, and a professional finish that lasts.

🔵⚪️ What Makes a Professional Finish

✨ A Professional Finish Is About Precision

A high-quality finish doesn’t happen by chance. In architectural painting, the difference between average and exceptional comes down to preparation, precision, and attention to detail at every stage.

🎯 Consistent Coverage Matters

Achieving even, consistent coverage across large surfaces requires the right products, preparation, and application methods. A professional finish should look seamless from every angle.

📏 Sharp Lines & Clean Edges

Precision is what separates a professional result from a rushed one. Clean edges, sharp lines, and accurate detailing all contribute to a polished, high-quality appearance.

⏳ Correct Drying & Curing Times

Rushing the process can compromise durability and performance. Allowing coatings to dry and cure correctly ensures long-lasting protection and a finish that performs over time.

🔍 Attention to Detail at Every Stage

From preparation to final inspection, every detail matters. Proper surface preparation, product selection, and quality control all play a role in achieving the best outcome.

✅ Takeaway:

A professional finish is built on precision — combining expert preparation, quality materials, and attention to detail to deliver results that last.
