Antimicrobial Coatings!

February 16th, 2021|

Developments in anti-bacterial and anti-viral technology have made HUGE leaps and bounds in the past couple of decades.  Here at Fox Valley Sandblasting, we are proud to provide Antimicrobial powder coat finishes to virtually any surface that you specify!

One industry hit hard by the COVID-19 Pandemic was gyms.  Limited capacity, constant disinfecting and customers desiring to stay home have hurt the industry.  Antimicrobial coatings can be a part of the solution!  Whether you have a home gym, small business, or manage equipment for a large chain, these coatings can help alleviate some of the issues dealt with in 2020.  Powder coating is considered the best finish for exercise equipment, but exposure to harsh chemicals and deep cleanings can wear out even the best coatings.  Our antimicrobial finishes are available in hundreds of colors and even clear coats!  This can add durability and sanitation to a work out facility.

Some businesses have taken advantage of government-mandated shutdowns and slowdowns to remodel and update.  Restaurants and commercial facilities that were in a position to reinvest have been able to get a new look and new fixtures in their buildings.  We have applied antimicrobial finishes for a number of different businesses, the photos featured today show a clear coat being applied to stainless steel door handles for a manufacturing plant in Texas that is taking the next step in helping keep their employees healthy and safe.

Welcome to our NEW Website!

April 3rd, 2020|

Thank you for visiting our new website.   This has been a crazy year so far, but we are doing our best to keep things moving forward as safely and efficiently as possible.

COVID-19 has shut down our favorite restaurants and many local businesses.  Due to the essential nature of some of our work for the municipal fresh and waste water industry, as well as some military and medical applications, we at FVS are continuing to work during this time.  We are doing so carefully and with necessary protective equipment whenever possible.

If you are on furlough or working from home, take some time to explore our new site.  We have added many photos and extra information regarding our services.

Thanks for checking in!
