Throughout their service life, buildings may experience performance degradation due to environmental exposure, mechanical stress, structural movement, and natural aging. As a result, sealing systems may require replacement, damaged joints may need repair, and certain building components may need to be reinstalled.
The objective of maintenance and renovation is not simply to repair existing damage. It is also to extend the service life of building components, restore air and watertightness, maintain energy efficiency, and reduce the risk of future deterioration.
Unlike new construction, renovation projects require careful assessment of existing substrates, residual sealants or adhesives, surface contamination, and the interaction of different building materials. For this reason, proper surface preparation is just as critical as selecting the appropriate product.
Typical applications include:
Replacement of aged silicone sealants and mastics
Façade joint repair
Roof leak repair
Maintenance around windows and doors
Renewal of wet area joints
Concrete crack and joint repair
Maintenance of metal joint details
Sandwich panel repair
Maintenance of modular building systems
Resealing of service penetrations.
Products used in these applications must be compatible with the existing building materials and should not adversely affect the performance or integrity of the existing system during installation.
Technologies Used
Neutral Silicones
Thanks to their excellent UV resistance and long service life, neutral-cure silicones provide reliable performance in exterior applications.
They are widely used for the renewal of existing joints in façades, windows, glazing systems, and wet areas.
Polyurethane Sealants
Polyurethane sealants are particularly suitable for applications involving the refurbishment of movement joints.
They are commonly used in the maintenance of concrete, metal, and precast concrete construction details.
Hybrid Polymer Technology
Hybrid polymer-based products are widely used in renovation projects because of their exceptional versatility.
Their principal advantages include excellent adhesion to a broad range of construction materials, permanent elasticity, outstanding weather resistance, paintability, and low shrinkage.
Their compatibility with multiple substrates makes them an ideal choice for maintenance and repair applications.
