The main problems of facades
Most often, the dilapidation of the facade plaster is observed - often huge pieces fall from the walls. Then the old plaster is completely removed (knocked down) and the building is plastered again with subsequent painting.
When repairing a facade, it is usually insulated. You can use polystyrene foam as insulation. It is of great importance to follow the instructions for its installation, otherwise a stormy wind can rip off the panels.
In recent years, such a method of repairing the facade of an apartment building has been often used as the creation of a ventilated hinged subsystem, which is then revetted with finishing materials:
- fiber cement plates;
- panels made of composite materials;
- porcelain stoneware, etc.
You should be aware that this type of work is not subject to the relevant law regulating overhaul. In such a situation, the rear finishing is carried out at the expense of the apartment owners themselves, the decision on this is made by the general meeting. The act is subject to approval by the relevant municipal authorities.
