Facade restoration: how to do it with CAMP
Building facades are continuously exposed to the action of weathering agents, such as wind, rain, and moisture, which cause their progressive deterioration.
To these is added smog that contributes to the degradation of materials and the alteration of their appearance.
Let's discover together the main problems and how to solve them with CAMP products.
RESTORING FACADES INTERESTED BY MUDS, MUSKS AND LICHENS
Because of the constant action of weathering, facades undergo an inevitable process of alteration. Often, especially on more porous materials and surfaces, or on north-facing facades, mold, mosses and lichens form.
The CAMP solution
- Mildew Remover for removing stains and blackening
- Mold Control Restore to restore the substrate in depth and counteract over time the regrowth of biological pollutants such as mold, algae, moss and lichen
- Hydro Pro to protect facades from the aggression of driving rain and moisture
RESTORATION OF FACADES THAT PRESENT SALINE EFFLORESCENCE
wet, watery component present in the masonry parts of buildings tends, with the passage of time, to evaporate and water-soluble salts that cause efflorescence to rise to the surface.
The CAMP solution
- AfterLay for cleaning and removing efflorescence from acid-resistant stones and materials
- Hydro Pro AS to protect materials from efflorescence formation over time
CLEANING OF FACADES DEGRADED BY SMOG AND POLLUTION
Air pollution affects materials by contributing to the degradation process. Facades often show staining and blackening caused essentially by smog.
The CAMP solution
- Alcadet for cleaning and removing smog blackening
- Hydro Pro to protect natural stones and absorbent materials over time
IMPERMEABILIZATION OF TERRACES AND BALCONIES
Very often the appearance of a facade is compromised by water infiltration from balconies and terraces. Proper maintenance can prevent material detachment and structural damage.
The CAMP solution
- Proter a high-penetration water repellent developed with Nanotech technology that consolidates and protects the surfaces of terraces, balconies, facades and floors. The product saturates the macroporosity of substrates and prevents water infiltration.
CONSOLIDATION OF FACADES CONSISTENT WITH CHALKING PLASTERS AND MATERIALS
A widespread problem is that of chalking and possible deterioration of facade cladding materials. Particularly plasters, brick or porous and chalking stones such as tuff and pietra leccese.
These types of materials with time and exposure to the weather, are subject to a process of chalking and degrado.Infatti, water and moisture trigger alteration phenomena and the materials produce a powdery, clear sign of deterioration.
The CAMP solution
- Compact Eco protective consolidant that does not alter the appearance of the facade and preserves the breathability of materials
The BONUS FACADE
Camp products for the care and maintenance of materials fall under the Facade Bonus Decree (contained in the 2020 Budget Law), which allows a tax deduction of 90% of the expenses incurred.
The rehabilitation or restoration of exterior facades allowed are:
- the consolidation, restoration and renovation of the constituent elements of the exterior facade of the building, which constitute only the vertical opaque structure, as well as only the cleaning and painting of the surface;
- the consolidation, restoration, including only cleaning and painting of the surface, or renewal of the constituent elements of balconies, ornaments and friezes;
- the works attributable to urban decoration such as those referring to gutters, downspouts, parapets, cornices and the arrangement of all plant parts insisting on the opaque part of the facade.
