Whether a complete new face, additional protection or a top-coat for your façade, the right result depends on a combination of choice of colour and choice of material. It makes good sense, therefore, to take one’s time with decisions and seek the advice of a professional. Surroundings, neighbouring buildings, materials present and local conditions should all be considered, together with building type and style. Generally, façade decoration is considered successful when it works with the existing architecture, highlighting it.
Since a chosen colour often looks differently when actually applied to the face of a building to how it did in the swatch, it is advisable to paint a test-area first. Our experience is at your service – ultimately, it is in our best interests that you are satisfied with the results.
Important features in the planning process are both the protective coating of the façade and the choice of materials. For this reason, before any renovation work is begun, the existing structure must be evaluated for adequate damp and weather protection.
Typical types of damage to a facade include:
- Eroded areas
- Plant damage
- Network cracks
- Cracks in grout
- Water damage
An evaluation by a qualified professional is often worth its weight in gold.
If you are planning to renovate a building façade, it is worthwhile to consider a thermal insulation composite system
Arguments in favour of this:
- Reduction of heating costs
- Reduction of CO2 emission
- Building maintenance
- Increase of internal temperature
- Increase in property value
Taking into account the already existing costs for a facade renovation, such as scaffolding, additional costs for extra insulation remain reasonable. Costs may be further minimised by taking advantage of various financial assistance packages offered at town and county level for such energy saving measures.
