Locker Rooms: when to Know if They Need Refurbishing

Author: catheylee | Posted: 05.01.2012

If the paint on your school or club gym lockers is flaking, peeling, or chipping, they need a refurbishment. Even if the paint has just grown dull and worn-looking with age, a locker refurbishment can breathe new life into locker rooms.

The first, most-obvious concern is protecting the lockers. Aging, deteriorating paint that leaves metal exposed can lead to rust, and rust means lockers that will have to be replaced.

But there’s also the aesthetic aspect to consider. Old paint just doesn’t look good. Locker rooms should not only be functional and comfortable—they should also inspire a feeling of class.

Whether it’s paying health club members or school athletes preparing to take the field or court, the appearance of locker rooms helps create an emotional atmosphere for the workout or the game. It may be at the subconscious level, but sharp-looking locker rooms convey a sense of success and pride. Dingy locker rooms, on the other hand, can be depressing and demotivating.

LOOK GOOD AS NEW WITH ELECTROSTATIC PAINTING

In electrostatic painting, a high-voltage electrostatic charge is applied to the paint and sprayers to accelerate the paint toward the conductive lockers. This technology minimizes disruption, eliminates drips, and prevents over-spraying.

If the paint in your locker room is grungy, chose a proven, knowledgeable locker equipment company that offers electrostatic painting. They will remove the old paint, then paint and treat your lockers onsite—returning the sparkle to the locker room in short order. (This refurbishing is an excellent opportunity to consider new color choices to match school colors or create a mood.)

The right company will also provide you with repair services if you have lockers that have broken locks, door, or shelves.

Refurbishment should be a total solution to make your locker room as first-rate as if you had bought new lockers at a far greater expense.

CONCLUSION

Don’t ignore paint that’s coming off your lockers. That’s a sure sign that your lockers are due for a refurbishment. So are multiple damaged lockers.

By hiring an expert refurbishing company, you will not only protect your lockers and restore any lost functionality; you’ll bring the luster back into the locker room.
