Aerospace facility painting requires compliance with multiple certification standards including AS9100 (aerospace quality management), ISO 14644 (cleanroom standards), NADCAP (special processes accreditation), and facility-specific requirements from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, or other prime contractors. Our painters are trained in FOD (Foreign Object Debris) prevention, cleanroom protocols, and aerospace-specific safety requirements. We maintain all necessary certifications and can provide documentation for audits.

Yes, Moorhouse Coating has extensive experience working in FAA-regulated facilities, DOD-cleared environments, and AS9100-certified operations. We understand the documentation requirements, quality management systems, and traceability standards required for aerospace work. Our teams have completed projects at Boeing, Lockheed Martin supplier facilities, and various defense contractor locations with full compliance to all applicable regulations.

Aerospace-approved coatings include non-outgassing epoxies for cleanrooms, MIL-SPEC compliant finishes for defense applications, static-dissipative coatings for ESD-sensitive areas, chemical-resistant systems for fuel and hydraulic fluid exposure, and fire-retardant coatings meeting FAR 25.853 flammability requirements. All coatings are selected based on specific environmental requirements and manufacturer specifications.

Aircraft hangar painting requires specialized approaches including high-reach equipment for ceiling work up to 100+ feet, coordination with aircraft movement schedules, FOD prevention protocols, fire-suppression system protection, and proper ventilation management. We use low-VOC coatings to minimize impact on adjacent operations and coordinate closely with facility managers to maintain aircraft protection throughout the project.

Our cleanroom painting protocols include gowning procedures (coveralls, booties, hairnets, gloves), HEPA-filtered air handling, tacky mat placement, tool sterilization, material airlock procedures, and continuous particle monitoring. We follow ISO 14644 classification requirements and can work in Class 100 to Class 100,000 environments while maintaining contamination control standards throughout the coating process.

Yes, we specialize in operational facility painting with minimal disruption. Our approach includes phased scheduling coordinated with production cycles, mobile containment systems, HEPA filtration for overspray control, night and weekend shifts, and strict adherence to facility access protocols. We've completed projects in 24/7 manufacturing operations while maintaining production schedules and safety standards.

Timelines vary based on facility size and complexity: Small hangars and support buildings (10,000-30,000 sq ft) typically require 2-4 weeks. Medium manufacturing facilities (30,000-100,000 sq ft) need 4-8 weeks. Large assembly plants (100,000+ sq ft) can take 8-16 weeks with phased execution. Cleanroom projects may require additional time for contamination control setup. We provide detailed project schedules with milestone dates during planning.

We provide comprehensive documentation packages including material certifications and SDS sheets, batch/lot traceability records, application parameters (temperature, humidity, DFT readings), cure verification documentation, before/during/after photographic records, quality inspection reports, and certificates of compliance for regulatory audits. All documentation meets AS9100 quality management requirements.
