PostHeaderIcon Heavy Duty Gym and Athletic Lockers


Heavy duty gym and athletic lockers will keep an individual’s personal belongings safe during practice or a game. When they’re not out on the field they can safely store their uniform and equipment in a ventilated locker to keep the contents fresh. Heavier gauge steel will provide you with high levels of strength that your other locker options don’t offer. Plenty of color choices allow you to customize the look of your locker room while still getting a durable and long lasting product.

Solid Constructed Lockers

Heavy duty gym and athletic lockers have doors that are made with 14 gauge steel, while the sides, bottom, top, and shelves are constructed with 16 gauge steel and the backs are made with 18 gauge steel. They will hold up well in high traffic areas and can take a lot of use without hours of costly maintenance requirements. Heavy duty gym and athletic lockers include a stainless steel recessed handle with a number plate so players can easily find their personal locker. You will also be able to choose from five or six foot heights for your locker room so you can easily select which works best in the amount of space you’re given to work with.

Invincible II & Wire Mesh Lockers

The diamond shaped pattern on the door and sides allows the locker to be well ventilated without reducing the amount of security a person wants from a locker. To keep unwanted odors at a minimum, these heavy duty gym and athletic lockers offer maximum amounts of air circulation. While other locker options don’t have many color choices, our heavy duty gym and athletic lockers have 21 colors. Heavy duty gym and athletic lockers have the options of sloped hoods, base plates, and ends available so you’re given exactly what you want for your locker room. Your custom order will guarantee that you’re given what you need to keep your team satisfied.

X Anti-Graffiti Powder Coating Finish

You have different finishes to choose from to further customize the locker room’s appearance. Tough and durable standard paint coating, powder coat plus with an extra thick coating, and an anti graffiti coating is available to choose from. No matter which finish you choose, you’ll be given a product that is long lasting and won’t require costly repairs each year. If your locker room is prone to vandalism you have the option of protecting the lockers from unwanted paint jobs. The durable finishes won’t fade or chip because they’re meant to last for many years.

Heavy Duty Ventilated Lockers

Not only will gyms or schools benefit from using a heavy duty ventilated locker, companies where employees are required to change into uniforms may prefer to offer their workers with a safe place to store their belongings while out in the job. If your workplace has a locker room that requires ventilated lockers, heavy duty gym and athletic lockers can be an excellent option to consider. With the many different options you have to choose from, you’re sure to find what you need while giving your athletes a safe and secure place to keep their belongings.

PostHeaderIcon The Battle Between Powder Paint Coating and Traditional Liquid Painting


“Want to paint your place anew? Well, give it up for the newest painting technique that guarantees a lot of fun and convenience! Set aside your old liquid paints because there’s a better option that will prove to be long-lasting for your home. Thanks to Jamaica, we now have the Powder Coating Painting to enjoy.

Gone are the days when liquid paints gave us trouble every time we had to apply some on the walls of our home or sections of our vehicle. It always took painting contractors and workers a great amount of time to finish their job. But now, painting is more fun with powder paint! All you have to do is call either a commercial or industrial painting contractor in Jamaica to help you in the said task.

Painting can be done in a jiffy in Jamaica, it has been since the creation of powder paint.

Powder Coating is a painting process using dry powdered paint that is baked in an oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. The oven curing melts the dry powder into a “”gel state”" then further curing causes this gel to harden into a very tough coating. With the usual liquid paint, the solids are in suspension in a liquid carrier, which must evaporate before the solid paint coating is produced. Research shows that powder paint coating was first used in Australia before it was adopted in Jamaica.

Powder coating is one of the best painting techniques out there, however not everybody is aware of it. In powder coating, the preparation is very important if you want to have the best paint job results.

Powder coating can also be applied to steel, zinc, aluminum, as well as other elements. The great thing about powder coating is that it has the ability to trump the original coating on your motorcycle. Aside from that, there are also hundreds of colors to choose from. Likewise, powder coated motorcycle parts can also withstand acids, solvents, impacts, and even abrasions.

The process of powder coating can be applied to painted items including valve covers, wheels, trim parts, sway bars, bumpers, coil springs, strut bars, etc. As for the price or cost of powder paint, one will find it relatively close to that of liquid paint or other painting substance. Some bulk plating processes similar to anodizing may be slightly less expensive. More decorative finishes like chrome plating is substantially more expensive than powder coating.

After much had been said about powder painting, weigh your options now. Personally, I would go for powder over liquid. There are several clear powder coatings available in semi gloss to high gloss. The clear powder coating works great on polished parts eliminating the need to keep polishing these areas. Best of all, the clear powder coatings outlast liquid clear coatings.”
