The Medibank Building's loading dock floor had a limited shutdown window of the Easter Long weekend to lightly grind the floor and apply two coats of Luxafloor FCF. Upon revisiting the site, security stated that 100-150 delivery trucks traverse and reverse park on the floor daily and it gets cleaned daily with a ride on mechanical scrubber. So far, there is no visual degradation to the coating.

Melbourne International Airport Terminal Valet and Premium Valet Parking floors demands a high performance floor coating system for constant vehicular, trolley and foot traffic that provides excellent hot tyre resistance.

The Melbourne Icehouse has three notable areas that required protective coatings: The exterior features a bright metallic blue band that breaks up the white facade. The blue is Quantum FX bright metallic polyurethane, sealed with Quantum Clearcoat to highlight the metallic lustre and protect against graffiti. The Henke Rink includes exposed steelwork and compressed particle board ceiling panels. The steelwork was protected against the highly corrosive moist, cold environment with Zincanode 402 zinc rich primer, Duremax GPE intermediate barrier coat and Luxathane R two pack polyurethane for aesthetics and protection. The ceiling was painted in Dulux Professional Total Prep and Industrial Aluminium.

An award winning ventilation system was used to spray 58 Melbourne Metro Trains. Dulux® Acrathane® IF in both colour and clear coats created a durable surface designed to withstand graffiti removal.

Industrial estates demand as much aesthetic creativity as residential and commercial developments and public spaces, as workers spend a significant amount of time commuting to, and working in, these industrial environments. Colour, therefore, plays an important role, as do durability, corrosion resistance and protection against defacement by graffiti in the choice of a protective coating system. The system chosen for the Merrifield Industrial Estate Entrance Wall is Dulux Duremax GPE ZP and Weathermax HBR.
