What is façade restoration?

The façade of a building is the constructive element that suffers the most from being continuously exposed to the elements.

Although certain questions of project design, execution of the work or the materials that compose it sometimes have more or less influence on its degradation, environmental causes and those of physicochemical origin are often superimposed on those of technical and mechanical origin.

Thus, it is very easy to find various types of injuries directly related to their cladding on facades. We can find fissures, cracks, moisture stains, mold stains, chipping, material detachments….

Why is it necessary to maintain the facade?

The façade of a building not only fulfills an aesthetic mission but also fulfills a structural and protection mission for the inside of the building.

The reasons why we have to act on the facade when we detect a serious injury are obvious. The existence of cracks, fissures or chips on the surfaces is an open door to atmospheric agents. All of them cause the formation of humidity, molds and fungi in addition to the loss in energy efficiency caused by the lack of optimal insulation.

How can it be solved?

When restoring the façade, the composition and quality of the materials used is the best prevention against the physical-chemical aggression of external phenomena that are unavoidable.

So we have to choose a coating, which at least provides the following characteristics to the facade:

  • Impervious to rainwater, guaranteeing the tightness of the façade.
  • Breathable, that is, it allows a transit of water vapor and does not produce humidity due to condensation.
  • Elastic, so that it absorbs movements due to dilation, hygroscopic changes and does not cause cracks.
  • Resistant to aging due to attacks by mold, bacteria, fungi and UV rays.
  • Thermal insulation, so that we do not have thermal gains or losses inside our homes.

Why DECOPROYEC sprayed cork?

DECOPROYEC sprayed cork brings together in a single material the properties required of any coating to be considered ideal for the restoration of facades.

It is a continuous coating that gives your building a 100% ecological natural skin that eliminates the famous “thermal bridges”.

The DECOPROYEC sprayed cork gives a “plus” to the facade of the building, which will never be “bare”, nor will it be the first to be exposed to environmental factors.

DECOPROYEC sprayed cork will waterproof the façade and make it more “elastic”, breathable and resistant to natural aging as it has excellent resistance to UV rays as well as low temperatures. At the same time, we will be able to improve the building’s thermal insulation and provide it with a unique and original aesthetic that will differentiate it from the rest.
