How often should the façade of buildings be rehabilitated

It must be taken into account that when we talk about rehabilitating a building, one of the most important parts is the rehabilitation of the façade. This important element of the building is not only an aesthetic part of it, but it also plays a key role in the efficiency of the environments, comfort, energy saving (something very important nowadays), the quality of life of the people who live or work inside, etc…

Not only that, but the façade is the first thing you see of any flat, flat, office, house, and therefore it is very important to bear in mind that it can have a great impact on the revaluation of the interior properties.

The importance of rehabilitating a building’s façade

There are several reasons why a facade must be rehabilitated, and during the time it must also be controlled and inspected. Many times it is decided to rehabilitate or control because a visible or aesthetic problem has appeared, but not always when there is a problem it is visible. Today we are going to give you some of the reasons why it is important to control and rehabilitate:

• The rehabilitation of the façade increases the quality of life, comfort and convenience inside the building.
• The energy efficiency of the building is something that is highly valued, in fact, it is important in order to have a good energy efficiency certificate. This factor has an impact both on the quality of life of the people living inside and on the energy savings of all properties. We leave you here another blog post to learn more about this energy efficiency certificate.
• And as mentioned above, having the façade refurbished or new will increase the value of all the properties inside.

The time that must pass before a facade is rehabilitated depends on the state of the facade and how it was built and with what materials, but a recommended estimate would be to rehabilitate the facade every 25 to 30 years. It is always best to have professionals assess the condition of the façade and evaluate it.

Criteria to take into account when renovating a façade

In Velló Monfort Architects in Gandía, we have been working for years to give our clients the best service of reforms and rehabilitation of facades, so we want to tell you more about the subject, so you know the importance it has. Over time and with the evolution of the sector, new ways of rehabilitating façades have been appearing, going beyond a simple aesthetic change. With new techniques and new methods, the quality of the homes and properties inside the building is also improved, and of course, focusing on the energy savings that this entails. For this, one of the keys when reforming or rehabilitating the façade is to have a much better and more optimal external thermal insulation.

Today, these systems have much more sustainable and efficient renovation methods. Today they work with coating technologies that reduce CO2 emissions, and work with solar shading elements that help reduce heat build-up on surfaces, reducing façade temperatures and preventing them from penetrating into the interior.
