Airless Spray / Production Rates / Painter Fatigue

Airless Spray Painting Advantages:

Quality of finish - a sprayed finish done correctly looks
much better than brushed and rolled. Lap marks are completely avoided.

Speed of application: A standard 10 x 10 surface can be spray
painted in under 4-5 minutes compared
to 15-20 by brush and roll methods.

Time savings ? Mask time notwithstanding, a time
savings of 2/3rds can be realized.

Safety on ladder: One hand free to hold ladder means greater
safety and comfort

We spray painted Palladian windows and bay box
window surrounds in under 10 minutes
which would have taken 2-3 hours to brush paint.

Operator Fatigue: Airless spray makes painting
a breeze and turns hand fatigue and carpal tunnel
issues into a non-event. Anyone who thinks scraping,
torching/scraping and brush painting windows does
not takes it toll on someones' hands and arms is badly
misinformed !

People are generally shocked and surprised that
once we mask a window we can paint it in under
1-2 minutes with a sprayer, but let me tell you
when they see the quality of the finish they are
blown away by it ;)
