Case Study: Commercial Exterior Painting Marrickville


Project Overview
Client: Ausbeds
Location: 136 Victoria Road, Marrickville, NSW
Industry: Industrial/Retail (Mattress Showroom & Warehouse)
Project Type: Commercial Exterior Painting
Duration: 2 Weeks
Team: 4 Licensed Brushworks Painters + Scissor Lift Access

Project Background
Situated in the bustling industrial zone of Marrickville, Ausbeds is a locally respected mattress retailer known for its quality Australian-made adjustable beds. With growing foot traffic and increased visibility from passing traffic, the business recognised the need to revitalise its street presence and align its exterior with the premium quality of its products.
That’s where Brushworks Painting came in.
Scope of Work
Brushworks was engaged to repaint the entire exterior façade of the Ausbeds commercial office and warehouse, focusing on:
Ground-level structural repainting
- High-pressure cleaning and sealing of external concrete surface
Facade and column restoration
Soffits and awning ceiling repaint
Roller door and entrance area detailing
Colour scheme redesign for a modern and clean finish
Surface Preparation & Concrete Sealing
The Brushworks team began by thoroughly preparing the front concrete forecourt using high-pressure water cleaning to remove years of built-up grime, oil, and surface debris. This ensured optimal adhesion and longevity of the sealer coating.
After drying, we applied a two-coat system using Dulux Avista coloured concrete sealer, delivering:
A clean, uniform finish
Enhanced durability and slip resistance
Long-term weather and UV protection
Improved visual continuity with the building’s fresh colour scheme
Challenges
High-traffic commercial zone with limited access for equipment
Required coordination with ongoing showroom operations
Building height and under-awning access complexity
Our team of four licensed, accredited, and experienced commercial painters used a scissor lift to safely and efficiently access elevated sections. Work was carried out with minimal disruption to business operations, including weekend and early-morning scheduling.
Before: Industrial and Dated Appearance
Before Brushworks began, the building’s exterior was dominated by dark green paint and worn, stained finishes. The area appeared dull and uninviting, with faded details and mismatched presentation between the office and loading bay. The signage was visible, but the dark backdrop limited its impact.
The visual message: outdated, heavy, and more functional than customer-focused.
After: Clean, Bright, and Professional
The transformation was striking. The Brushworks team revitalised the exterior with a fresh white colour palette, accented by sky-blue columns and under-awning ceilings, delivering a crisp, modern look that instantly brightened the entire façade. The darker trim and roller shutters now contrast beautifully with the clean walls, giving the building a polished, high-end commercial appeal.
Key Improvements:
Dramatically improved kerb appeal
Enhanced visibility of brand signage
Professional, welcoming impression for showroom visitors
Results & Client Impact
Improved Brand Image: The updated exterior now reflects the premium, innovative products Ausbeds offers inside.
Increased Foot Traffic: A more inviting storefront has helped draw attention from passing vehicles and foot traffic.
Lasting Durability: High-grade, weather-resistant paint ensures the property stays protected and visually appealing for years to come.
