Maintaining the building’s appearance and protecting it from damaging effects of moisture, pollutants, poor-quality materials, as well as eliminating design flaws or poor workmanship, is an essential part of our repair services. GIA Solutions has extensive experience in repairing and restoring building facades.
In recent years, innovations in facade renovation have focused on increasing the durability and resilience of construction materials. Energy-saving methods and technologies are employed, which help optimize material usage and reduce waste. We continuously update our knowledge of the latest industry standards, best practices, and efficient trends, allowing us to implement modern methods and technologies in all our restoration and renovation projects.
What is Facade Restoration? It can range from simple surface cleaning to a full range of repair work.
Over time, exposure to rain, snow, wind, and frost deteriorates the exterior finish of any building, leading to issues such as:
Water damage – Facades wear down, allowing water to penetrate the building and degrade the finishing materials.
Surface material damage – Harsh weather conditions, mold, and pollutants cause the facade materials to deteriorate, resulting in stains and discoloration.
Structural damage – Aging, waterproofing defects, and structural settling can cause cracks and other damages, compromising the building’s integrity.
Types of facade repairs
Cosmetic and repair work
During restoration work on damaged areas of the facade, sealing and leveling are required for subsequent finishing. This may include plastering the wall, applying putty, a primer layer, and sealing cracks. Afterward, the entire surface can be primed and painted.
In addition, decorative plaster can be applied to the repaired wall, which is becoming increasingly popular for exterior facades. The decorative layer not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the building but also provides extra protection.
Major facade restoration
Major facade repairs go beyond cosmetic fixes. They involve not only the procedures mentioned above but also additional work such as partial restoration of deteriorating wall sections, brickwork restoration, stucco repair, wall insulation, and replacement of drainage systems.
Major facade repairs are necessary when:
1
More than 30% of the walls are damaged.
2
Partial facade restoration is required.
3
The building is being repurposed (e.g., from residential to office).
