The building envelope is the barrier between the exterior and interior environments enclosing a structure. Exterior building restoration can involve brick, block, stone, façade repair and installation. These methods will help shield the building from the elements, such as rain, ice, snow, and wind, keeping the building functioning and healthy.
Historic building restoration and landmark restoration services begin with in-depth planning to identify, retain and preserve the wonderful structures of the past. The best historical and landmark restoration practices ensure that our historical and landmark structures always keep their original strength and splendor.
Joint sealants are an essential component to commercial building design and construction. The main function of sealants is to prevent air, water, moisture, debris, and many other environmental elements from entering or exiting a building or structure, while also permitting limited movement of the substrates.
1) For best performance, caulking must maintain good adhesion to both sides of the joint.
2) Must be able to flex with the joint when movement occurs.
3) Retro Caulking: all existing caulking must be removed.
4) Caulking over existing caulk can lead to the system failing.
5) Primer should be used for joints under heavy stress.
6) All surfaces need to be clean of all dirt, paint, and oil.
1) More versatile than masonry because EIFS comes in a large range of colors and a wide variety of design textures.
2) Flexible design capabilities.
3) Does not affect building's interior square footage since it goes on the outside.
4) In areas where square footage is at a premium, EIFS is a major incentive.
