As the exterior of buildings is exposed to extreme weather conditions, balconies are at high risk for deterioration, such as paint fading (from sunlight), plaster peeling (from excessive moisture), bulging (from rain and cold weather), and elements that cause high collapse risk. Therefore, once such signs become evident, balcony renovation becomes necessary.
Renovation and maintenance of balconies in residential buildings and detached houses can be done partially or completely, including restoring some parts, such as the soffit, the front panel, terraces, the cornice, the façade, the roof, the walls, the tiles, structural reinforcement, and so on, or restoring the entire balcony.
Deterioration is caused primarily by water, which seeps from floor to corners causing finish elements to separate.
According to the requirements of our clients and a comprehensive assessment of the current condition and extent of the balcony's damage, our experts will carry out a thorough inspection, accurately assess the deterioration status, determine the best actions to take, calculate the associated costs, create a timeline for the intervention, and efficiently complete it. Our operators perform waterproofing interventions when water-related damage occurs.
5.1. A description of the Balcony Renovation intervention
Using the double/half rope safety technique, Edil Technology's operators and technicians can carry out partial or full balcony renovations to resolve any existing weathering problems. Using our double/half rope safety technique allows our operators to perform interventions precisely where they are needed in a quick and convenient manner without having to use scaffolding.
Intervention steps for renovation and maintenance
5.1.1. Preliminary Removing the Crumbling and Detaching Elements:
The affected structural elements should be cleaned (rusty metal parts should be brushed along with damaged concrete and masonry).
5.1.2. Pilot Treatment:
To test its effectiveness, apply the appropriate course of treatment to a small area as a pilot program.
5.1.3. Full Treatment:
Ensure that all corroded elements receive the treatment.
5.1.4. Finish:
Finish with high-quality products.
5.2. The advantages of using the Double/Half Rope Safety system
5.2.1. There is no limit to where we can reach:
With the Double/Half Rope Safety technique, our operators can reach hard-to-access parts of buildings such as rooftops, balconies, terraces and façades and conduct renovation and maintenance interventions at any altitude.
5.2.2. Cost-Effective:
The use of Double/Half Rope Safety technique is inexpensive due to a reduction in scaffolding related costs (e.g., manpower and material rental), as well as time-related costs (e.g., delay due to bad weather, logistics of materials).
5.2.3. Comfort:
Having no bulky scaffolding provides visual comfort both to the client and any building residents who may be present, as well as minimizes theft risks.
5.2.4. Quick execution:
While scaffolding and platforms require more time to prepare and assemble, a double/half rope safety technique is extremely fast. In addition, the absence of obstacles (2 ropes instead of the scaffolding structure) speeds up the process of resolving bird problems.
5.3. Balcony Renovation intervention scale
Whether the renovation is a simple painting or cleaning job, or a full-scale renovation for a whole balcony, Edil Technology's operators and technicians are ready to help.
