Facade Repair & Restoration across Bondi buildings
Coastal salt attack accelerating concrete cancer across the 1980s-2000s slab edges, planter-box programs on the podium-deck towers facing the beach, and facade work on the salt-laden street frontages. The salt exposure is the variable that changes every remedial conversation here.
The Supcon approach is the same anywhere in Sydney metro: find the source, scope it properly, fix it once. The suburb’s build wave and exposure profile change the diagnosis, not the standard.
Understanding Facade Defects
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.
