For tho­rough and material-fri­endly cleaning

Facades are exposed to extreme envi­ron­mental stress every day. Weather, air pol­lution, UV radiation, algae, moss, or graffiti can impair their appearance and pro­tective function. Regular cleaning is the­r­efore crucial to maintain the aes­thetic impact and lon­gevity of buildings. 

Blasting media enable tho­rough and material-fri­endly cleaning of facades. They remove dirt, loose par­ticles, or old coa­tings and opti­mally prepare the surface for potential pro­tective coa­tings, impreg­na­tions, or repainting.

Why are blasting media important in facade cleaning?

Facades consist of various mate­rials such as natural stone, con­crete, plaster, clinker, glass, or metal. Every surface requires adapted cleaning to avoid damage. Blasting media provide:

Effective removal of contaminants

Dust, soot, algae, moss, graffiti, or old coa­tings are reliably removed

Gentle surface processing

The sub­s­tance of the facade is not damaged and sen­sitive mate­rials are protected.

Pre­pa­ration for pro­tective measures

After cleaning, impreg­nation, varnish, or pro­tective coa­tings adhere signi­fi­cantly better.

Standard-com­pliant cleaning

Requi­re­ments and stan­dards can be met for his­to­rical or listed buildings.

Advan­tages of using blasting media in facade cleaning

  • Effective removal of dirt, algae, moss, and graffiti
  • Material-fri­endly cleaning of sen­sitive or his­to­rical facades
  • Optimal pre­pa­ration for pro­tective coa­tings, impreg­na­tions, or paintwork.
  • Standard-com­­pliant and sus­tainable cleaning
  • Longer service life and aes­thetic value retention of the building envelope.

Tips for optimal facade cleaning with blasting media

Every facade reacts dif­fer­ently to blasting media. Blasting tests can assist in the optimal sel­ection of the right blasting media.

Excessive pressure can damage plaster, natural stone, or orna­mental details, while insuf­fi­cient pressure will not remove dirt adequately.

Scaf­folding, cherry pickers, or rope access are often required when cleaning facades. Per­sonal pro­tective equipment including a helmet, gloves, safety goggles, and respi­ratory pro­tection is man­datory for facade blasting.

Blasting damp facades can cause material damage, while dry sur­faces yield better results. The­r­efore, try to prepare the facade so that it is dry.

After cleaning, sur­faces should be impreg­nated, sealed, or recoated as necessary to ensure long-term protection.

Blasting media residues and loo­sened con­ta­mi­nants should be coll­ected and dis­posed of pro­fes­sio­nally, espe­cially in urban or sen­sitive areas.
