Dirty, dark, and unpainted ceilings in factories, plants and warehouses can also be dangerous. They are known to be great hiding places for contamination that can cause spontaneous combustion due to oil residue, paper dust, ink paper dust, and solvents from processes taking place below in a current or previous manufacturing process. In addition, an unclean ceiling can contaminate products during the manufacturing process by allowing dirt or contamination to fall down onto the production line. A clean and bright ceiling is also safer for workers, and service personnel.

Colour coding of piping provides service trades people and emergency personnel with a safe, easy, and clear way of differentiating the maze of pipes that most ceilings have in them. This clarity not only saves time for your trades people, but may save lives if time is of the essence during an emergency. It also looks more esthetically pleasing to everyone that sees it.

Next to painting the ceiling in an industrial plant, painting the interior and exterior walls is the best way to improve the overall appearance of your facility. If you have plans to paint the ceiling in your plant or warehouse, it's a highly cost-effective time to paint the walls as well, because a lot of the cover-up preparation would already be done and the access equipment would already be onsite.
