Dismantling the Old Facade
With the Stofix brick slip cladding, it is possible to build a well-functioning facade that meets modern technical requirements and improves the building’s U factor by increasing thermal insulation – with only a slight change in the external dimensions of the building.
Construction of the External Skin and Insulation of the Facade
In projects where the entire facade has to be dismantled, the ventilation and drying capabilities of the facade structure are essential for ensuring the longevity of the brick facade. Replacing the entire external skin is the only renovation method that ensures that dampness and/or microbes will not remain in the existing wall structure.
Demolishing the old external skin and facade brickwork and by replacing the insulation and recladding with the Stofix brick panels has the following benefits:
- More thermal insulation can be added, helping to cut the U factor of the wall structure enormously
- A ventilated facade ensures a healthy interior structure
- Water is efficiently conducted from the structure
- The appearance of the building is maintained without compromising the details of brickwork architecture.
