When should you restore the facade?
If it”s been more than 10 years since you installed it, it”s time to renew the facade. Facades are used to protect the building with facade paints and plastic plasters from atmospheric precipitation and removal of atmospheric sediment into diffuse pores. The market mainly produces and offers facade dispersion paints, facade paints made of synthetic resins dissolved in organic solvents, and facade paints whose binder is based on silicates. It is very important to know that facade paints and plastic plasters from different manufacturers do not mix. That is, only entire surfaces can be worked with materials from different manufacturers. You can do any repairs under appropriate weather conditions, as weather conditions can affect the quality of the work. You should not do repairs on facades in the following cases when: it is raining or snowing, there is heavy fog and saturated air, strong wind is blowing, the air temperature is below zero or above 30 degrees.

Facade renovation procedure
Restore the facade If you need to restore the facade, it is necessary to clean the various applications (consoles, flowers, wreaths, etc.), scrape off various deposits and dust, as well as soldering with a brush. After cleaning, the damaged areas, edges and cornices are repaired with special materials, depending on the substrate on which the dispersion facade paint was applied. As in recent years facades are mostly made of Styrofoam using Styrofoam glue, we recommend using Styrofoam glue for repairs. Styrofoam glue is applied to the damaged areas with a trowel and spatula. Repaired damage should be protected from strong sunlight for several days. How much material will be spent depends on the size of the damage and the wear and tear of the facade. Before applying the dispersion facade paint, it is necessary to apply a primer to the repaired facade parts with a roller, which ensures better absorption of the walls and strengthening of the substrate on which the facade paint is to be applied. After the applied substrate has dried, dispersion facade paint is applied in two coats (layers). The basic color is white, and by tinting you can get shades as desired. You can do the toning yourself with tone pastes or they can do it for you at a paint and varnish store (painters). Our recommendation is to tint the facade color with shades of lower intensity (weaker tones).
