Restoring one of the most iconic landmarks in Madrid (ES) takes precision, control, and the right surface preparation solution.

Built in 1887, the Crystal Palace (Palacio de Cristal) is undergoing a major restoration. This architectural icon required decades-old layers of paint to be removed from its intricate iron framework without damaging the large glass panels set directly against it.

Throughout the project, Sponge-Jet technology has delivered the highly precise, low rebound surface preparation solution needed to safely remove the layers of paint without damaging the historic structure and its glass panels.

Graffiti removal doesn't have a one-size-fits-all solution.

Choosing the most effective solution depends on many factors such as surface, type of paint, and location. While these variables can create challenges for some removal methods, Sponge-Jet's low-dust, dry abrasive technology can help remove graffiti and spray paints with greater precision and control.

When working with carbon fiber, precision is vital.

Carbon fiber requires a careful balance when it comes to surface prep, as it needs to be powerful enough to remove coatings and contaminants, but gentle enough the preserve the integrity of the woven composite material. Blasting with Sponge Media provides a controlled, surgical precision to support this balance.

As Preservation Month wraps up, we're proud to spotlight another project that demonstrates the importance of historic restoration.

At St. Mark's Church in Illinois (USA), Sponge-Jet Sponge Media was used to prepare 100+ year old ornamental tin for restoration. This project required a solution that could effectively remove existing coatings while minimizing dust and protecting the intricate details of the substrate.

Preservation projects require precision and care for the original structure, and we're grateful to support the conservators and contractors who help protect these historic spaces.

This week for Preservation Month, we're revisiting a project Sponge-Jet was a part of at the iconic Guggenheim Museum in New York City (USA).

Designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and renowned for its unique spiral architecture, the Guggenheim is a world-famous art museum that boasts nearly one million visitors a year. However, after decades of service, cracks had developed throughout the museum's concrete exterior, and the existing coating needed to be removed.

Due to these conditions, Sponge-Jet was selected to remove residual coatings and prepare the concrete for its specified coating system. Not only did the dust suppression of Sponge Media allow sidewalk foot traffic to continue around the building, but Sponge-Jet's composite media also limits micro-fissures when blasting on masonry projects, which ultimately prevented more damage to the substrate.
