Q and A Commercial Exterior Building Restoration

What is Exterior Building Restoration?

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.

What are Joint Sealants?

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.

What are joint sealants?

Caulking Points.

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.

Benefits of EIFS?

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.
