Reconstruction of building facades

Modern conditions in cities and metropolitan areas have adverse effects on materials used for exterior decoration of buildings. This leads to their destruction, which gives the structure an unpresentable look. Solve the problem can repair the facade, which will be discussed in this article.

The market for building materials and constantly evolving technological methods, which experts adopt from foreign partners, allow us to implement any project for the repair of facades.

What you need to repair the facade

So, you want to repair the facade. What is needed first?

Reconstruction work plan

1. Initially, the inspection and measurement of problem areas.
2. After that, a reconstruction project is being developed and a procedure for its approval is carried out. After permits are issued, work can begin.
3. The first step is to clean and strengthen the facade (if necessary).
4. Further, finishing works and installation of decorative parts are carried out (if such are provided on the facade of the building).

Reconstruction project

The project document outlines the work that must be done, as well as a list of materials.

The reconstruction of the facades can be divided into two variants.

1. Loss of aesthetic qualities. In this case, cosmetic work is performed, designed to restore the former characteristics of the facade or, subject to the use of advanced technologies, to give a completely different look.
2. Technological characteristics. As a rule, in this case, several types of work are carried out to modify the structure of the building by adding new rooms, changing window designs, etc.

Note! Such work is better to trust professionals. They carefully examine the entire building, will competently draw up a plan and in a short time will carry out all the necessary work.

Work coordination

Reconstruction of the facades of buildings is carried out only after coordination of the project in state bodies, when all research works have been carried out:

1. Inspection of the foundation for the presence of deformations.
2. Check overlaps.
3. In some cases, the trim is opened with a sample of the used trim material.

Project work

The above works are carried out to determine the possible cause of the destruction of the facade. Then a project is drawn up, in which the general condition of the building at the time of the repair is prescribed and an approximate construction drawing is drawn up after reconstruction.

What is included in the project?

• The project prescribes all the necessary work that will be carried out during reconstruction.
• It describes in detail how the building will be after renovation.
• Separately, they say about those activities that are aimed at improving the fire-fighting qualities, sanitary standards, materials that will be used for this purpose are reading.

The project is compiled in two copies. One remains at the customer, and the other goes through the approval procedure at the necessary state agencies.

You can start work only after obtaining the necessary permission.

Reconstruction of a brick building

Repair of such buildings is a rather complicated process. On examination, specialists should determine the need to strengthen the brickwork. The process of strengthening is carried out by the "conclusion" of her cage.

The yoke is a vertical corner of steel, which is mounted on the corners of the walls or pillars. They are connected by strip steel in increments of 0.5 meters. In the holder, the masonry is in compression condition on all sides, which significantly increases its resistance to longitudinal force and reduces lateral deformation.

Repair of masonry is carried out by thoroughly injecting cement between the masonry and the clip. Before that, polymer or cement mortar is injected into the damaged areas and the cracks formed. After repair work, the surface can be trimmed with any material.

This process of reconstruction of the brick building allows you to restore the bearing capacity of the brickwork.

Repair of plaster facade

For a quality repair of the plaster facade, procedures are first carried out to identify the cause of damage and samples are taken to select the necessary material.

Note! The materials to be used for work must not only meet aesthetic needs, but also comply with GOST standards.

Repair technology

1. Initially, experts completely prepare the surface, removing from it all damp places, tar spots and efflorescences.
2. Then there is a plaster of all problem areas.
3. After drying, the repaired surface will be non-uniform. This is due to the difference in the textures of the old and the new plaster. To level it, it is treated with a primer and putty with a finishing putty.
4. The final stage is painting the surface, for which it is better to use a spray gun.

Note! If you do not use special materials, the facade repair is best done at a temperature not lower than + 5 ° C.

Ventilated facade

Such finishing of facades is considered durable in itself and, basically, reconstruction consists in replacing one or several panels.

1. After inspecting the surface for problem areas, the deformed panels are removed.
2. Then they inspect the waterproofing and insulation and, if necessary, they also change.
3. After that new panels are mounted.

Note! At the opening it is necessary to pay attention to the condition of the frame. It must be strong and free from corrosion damage.

Strengthening the facade

The facade is not only the face of the building, it also protects it from various negative factors. Therefore, in some cases, structural reinforcement is required.

To do this, during the examination, specialists must identify the cause of the deformation, of which there are several:

1. Mechanical effects.
2. The impact of natural factors (in particular water).
3. The use of low-quality material in the construction.
4. Technogenic factors.

To enhance the use of modern materials that protect the facade from the penetration into it of various destructive elements. In addition, the protective layer will allow for quite a long time to maintain the appearance of the building in an aesthetic way, even with regular cleaning and washing. The technique of work is determined by the materials from which the facade is made.
