Facade Works

Facade renovations for every type of home

Your facade not only defines the appearance of your home, but also protects it from rain, wind, moisture and temperature fluctuations. At Faccader, we renovate and upgrade facades using durable materials and a finish suited to your property, preferences and budget.

Whether you choose render, brick slips or spray cork, we provide professional preparation, careful installation and a durable result you can rely on for many years.

Give your home a fresh new look

Over time, a facade can become discoloured, dirty, cracked or affected by moisture problems. An outdated appearance or insufficient insulation may also be a reason to renovate your facade.

A facade renovation improves the protection of your home against the elements while giving it a completely new appearance. Where required, the work can be combined with external wall insulation. This improves not only the look of your home, but also its comfort and energy performance.

A solution tailored to your facade

Every facade is different and requires a tailored approach. We therefore begin by assessing the condition of the substrate, any cracks or moisture problems, and the connections around windows, doors and roof edges.

Based on this assessment, we advise you on the necessary preparation, possible insulation and the most suitable facade finish. This ensures a durable result that complements your home both technically and aesthetically.

Crepi – a sleek and modern facade finish

Render, also known as facade plaster or decorative render, gives your home a smooth and well-maintained appearance. With a wide choice of colours available, it is suitable for both modern and traditional properties.

The render can be applied directly to a suitable facade substrate or combined with an external wall insulation system. The facade is carefully prepared beforehand to ensure that the render adheres properly and retains its appearance for many years.

Render is an excellent choice when you want to refresh the appearance of your home while retaining the option of adding extra facade insulation.

Possible render work:

• Application of facade render  
• Installation of external wall insulation  
• Repair and preparation of the substrate  
• Finishing around corners and window openings  
• Installation of profiles and plinth finishes  
• Choice of different colours and textures

Brick slips – the authentic look of brickwork

Brick slips give your home the authentic appearance of a traditionally built brick facade. They are thin sections of brick or stone that are applied to the existing facade or to an external wall insulation system.

You can choose from a wide range of colours, sizes and textures. This makes brick slips suitable for both country-style homes and contemporary architecture. They can be installed across the entire facade or combined with render to create a modern and distinctive finish.

Because brick slips require less space than traditional masonry, they are particularly suitable for facade renovations where the available space is limited.

Possible work with brick slips:

• Installation of brick slips  
• Combination with external wall insulation  
• Preparation and repair of the facade  
• Finishing around corners and window openings  
• Combination with render or other materials

Spray cork – a natural facade coating with character

Spray cork is a facade coating made from fine cork granules. It is applied in several layers to a properly prepared substrate, creating a continuous finish with a natural, lightly textured appearance.

Thanks to the flexibility of the material, spray cork can be suitable for various types of substrates. It is available in several colours and can be used to refresh an ageing facade while improving its protection against the weather.

Spray cork is applied in a relatively thin layer. It is therefore primarily a facade finish and should not be considered a replacement for a complete insulation system using insulation boards.

Possible spray cork work:

• Application of spray cork to facades  
• Cleaning and preparation of the substrate  
• Repair of damage and cracks  
• Finishing around windows and doors  
• Renewal of existing facade finishes

Which facade finish is right for your home?

Facade renovation with insulation

When renovating your facade, it is often the ideal time to install external wall insulation as well. The insulation is fitted against the existing external wall and then finished with a material such as render or brick slips.

This helps retain heat during the winter and prevents the property from heating up as quickly during the summer. It also reduces thermal bridging without taking up any living space inside your home.

The appropriate insulation thickness and system build-up depend on the existing facade, the available space and the chosen finish.

Facade repair or complete renovation?

Not every facade needs to be completely renovated. In cases of localised damage, a targeted repair may sometimes be sufficient. Examples include small cracks, loose sections, damaged pointing or localised moisture problems.

When the facade is damaged in several areas, is no longer adequately protected or you also want to improve the insulation, a complete facade renovation may be the most durable solution.

During an inspection, we assess the work required and advise you on the most suitable approach.
