Green Coatings Comparative Cost Analysis

Green Coatings/Environmental Savings!

Green Coatings Abatement/Encasement are good for the environment/Green Coatings help save money: Green Coatings help reduce CO2 emissions by reducing the amount of unwanted waste deposited in land fills and reduce the amount of VOC's released when low VOC Green Coatings are choosen for architectural applications. Green Coatings save you money by avoiding expenses incurred by tear-off and replacement of existing roofing membranes and removal/disposal fees associated with hazardous materials remediation by removal.  Green Coatings can also save you time by avoiding downtime for your building and relocation fees for the building occupants.

Comparative Low Cost of Our Green Coatings Solutions

Your investment in GLOBAL Encasement, Inc.'s Green Coatings is less costly in comparison to other coatings in their class.  The VOC content as well as the price per gallon of the coatings aren't the only things that are less when you compare the costs associated with removal and replacement of obsolete building materials.  Consider the environmental cost of not using Green Coatings to maintain building components and increase energy efficiency in buildings.

Our Green Coatings are full bodied and considered high build coatings by industry standards.  Consider the fact that it would take twice as many coats of normal paint to achieve the same build as just one coat of GLOBAL Encasement's TopCoats.  This increased dry mil thickness does a better job of weather/waterproofing building components and provides longer lasting protection, extending the period between coatings reapplication by 4 to 5x.  This helps save on your bottom line, increasing your savings while decreasing building downtime.  These super-compliant architectural green coatings also decrease the amount of construction debris created over the life of a building, helping to reduce CO2 emissions that are created by unwanted waste in land fills.  Ask GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. how its Green Coatings Solutions can help protect and preserve your building as well as your financial resources.

Site Description:

1 Family House
2,000 square feet of exterior walls with peeling, flaking
