Facade Repair & Restoration across Strathfield buildings
Federation brick stock driving rising-damp and salt-damp work, and the 1995-2015 strata wave now in the heart of its first major remedial cycle. Concrete cancer rectification on the older slab edges, planter-box programs on the larger podium-deck buildings around the town centre.
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.
