The challenge: The decorative cast iron fascia was deteriorating and the Lead-Based Paint was highly weathered and damaged.
Any restoration work had to meet the approval of the New York City Landmarks Commission and be reviewed by the State Historical Preservation Office.
Any products used had to have NYC Buildings Dept. MEA Acceptance, conform with NYS Uniform Building Code #1120-5, had to be an approved encapsulant with NYS Department of Public Health and have passed ASTM E-1795 testing which includes exterior weatherization performance.

Results: A GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. System was designed to meet all the needs of the client and the requirements of the New York City Landmarks Commission. The three part system included R.I.P.™ Rust-Inhibiting Primer to address any rust and corrosion associated with the cast iron areas. The second step called for a coat of PrepLESS Primer™ to re-intact all loose materials. The final step was the application of the durable waterproofing LeadLock™ TopCoat, custom tinted four historic colors. The long-lasting LeadLock™ encasement system saved time, money and reduced lead dust exposure concerns because the leaded paint was not disturbed during the process. All of the products were easy to use and the job was completed in a timely, safe and environmentally responsible manner. The client saved 80% over the cost of removal and repainting.
The installation of exterior flood lighting now makes this a spectacular and highly visible historic landmark at night.
