Wall Cladding Repair
Based on our extensive experience of repairing cladding, here are our most practical solutions for addressing common issues associated with aged and faded wall cladding straight from the experts. Whether you’re dealing with wear and tear, discolouration, or physical damage, we’ll guide you through the right approach to restore the integrity and aesthetics of your cladding.
Problem: Aged and Faded Wall Cladding
Aged and faded wall cladding can pose several challenges, including diminished structural integrity, unsightly appearance, and reduced property value. As cladding ages, it becomes susceptible to wear and tear from environmental factors such as sunlight, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Discolouration, staining, and surface damage are common issues that can detract from the overall aesthetics and functionality of the building envelope.
To effectively address these challenges, it’s essential to understand the underlying causes of deterioration and choose appropriate repair methods that provide lasting results. Thankfully, various options are available, from minor touch-ups to complete refurbishments, depending on the extent of damage and budget constraints. Giromax® have an expert team of Technical Service Managers nationwide who can support and advise on the best course of action.
Common Issues
- Wear and tear: Over time, exposure to environmental elements can cause the cladding material to degrade, resulting in cracks, chips, and surface erosion.
- Discolouration: Fading, staining, and discolouration are prevalent due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, pollutants, and moisture.
- Physical damages: Impact from debris, vandalism, or accidental damage can cause dents, scratches, and other structural damage to the cladding panels.
Solution: Complete Refurbishment
Spot repairs and partial replacements are ideal for addressing minor damages such as dents and small cracks. However, if a complete refurbishment is required, replacing the cladding is a costly and time consuming option. This process involves stripping away the existing cladding, addressing underlying issues, and installing new materials to rejuvenate the building envelope. Complete refurbishment does offer enhanced structural integrity, improved aesthetics, and ensures long-term durability and visual appeal for your cladding system.
