Peel Away 8
Project Overview
As Ponsonby generally has a very dense population and small to medium sized properties, it was important that the removal of the lead-based paint was carried out in a completely safe and contained manner to ensure the neighbours and occupiers of the villa's peace of mind.
West End Painters used Peel Away 8, a product that is completely environmentally-friendly and easy to apply. After completing a test patch, we found out that our product removes the top layers of acrylic paint, several layers of lead paint and the sealer beneath with a single spray application.
Peel Away 8 is designed to encapsulate all toxic or health-averse elements that might be contained in any single layer of paint. This way, it is safe to use anywhere around the house and even in dense, urban locations without the need of shrink-wrapping the building.
