Specialists urban economy complex More than 800 apartment building facades were repaired last year, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Urban Development. Petr Biryukov.

"Facade renovation is a crucial part of a major overhaul, as it's not only a fundamental component of a building's appearance but also an integral part of its thermal envelope. Last year, we completed over 800 facade renovations, with the most extensive work carried out in the Central, Eastern, and Northern Administrative Districts," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

For each type of façade, special technologies were used to fully restore the technical characteristics and appearance of the building.

Brick facades undergo mandatory hydrophobization. This modern treatment method protects against the damaging effects of temperature fluctuations and high humidity. When restoring painted facades of panel buildings, specialists first correct the panel geometry. In the second stage, they fill the interpanel joints with sealant, after which the facade is primed and painted in two coats, added Petr Biryukov.

Repairs to building facades clad with small ceramic tiles are carried out using a polymer-cement mixture on reinforcing mesh. A facade repaired using this technology will last at least 30 years, as confirmed by numerous tests.

All paints used for the work have high vapor permeability properties, which ensures their resistance to moisture and long-term color retention.
