A building facade does more than create visual appeal. It protects the structure from weather, moisture, thermal movement and environmental exposure.
When a facade begins to fail, the consequences often extend beyond appearance. Water ingress, concrete deterioration, corrosion and structural damage can all develop if defects are left untreated.
At Supcon, we investigate facade defects, identify contributing factors and deliver remediation strategies designed to restore performance, improve durability and protect building assets.
Our focus is not simply making a building look better. Our focus is ensuring the building performs better.
Facades are complex systems made up of multiple components including render systems, brickwork, concrete elements, sealants, flashings, expansion joints, coatings and waterproofing interfaces.
Failure of one component can impact the performance of the entire facade system.
Many facade defects are treated cosmetically. Examples include:
While these approaches may improve appearance temporarily, they often fail to address the underlying causes of deterioration. Without investigating why defects developed, the same issues frequently return. Successful remediation focuses on both cause and consequence.
Assessment of facade condition, water ingress, structural movement, material deterioration and building performance.
Identification of contributing factors and underlying defects.
Preparation of a detailed remediation strategy.
Long-term strategies designed to improve durability and reduce future maintenance requirements.
Every remediation strategy begins with understanding the cause of deterioration.
Direct involvement from Thomas throughout the project lifecycle.
Clear documentation supporting informed decision-making.
Repairs designed to improve durability and reduce future risk.
Extensive experience across remedial building and structural works.
Supcon can investigate the issue and develop a practical remediation strategy designed to protect your building.
