1,400 facades of residential buildings were repaired this year

As part of the overhaul program in 2022, 1.4 thousand facades of residential buildings were overhauled in Moscow. The work was carried out by specialists from the Moscow Municipal Complex.

“Work has been completed to upgrade 1.4 thousand facades of multi-apartment residential buildings, the activities were carried out as part of the regional overhaul program. For each type of facade, a special technology was used to fully restore the technical characteristics and appearance of the building,” said Moscow Deputy Mayor Pyotr Biryukov.

During the overhaul of facades, the walls of panel buildings are cleaned of dirt and washed, the geometry of the panels is corrected, the interpanel seams are filled with sealant, after which the facade is primed and painted in two layers.

The materials used for painting the facade are resistant to external factors and have high vapor-permeable properties, which ensure long-term color retention.

“Repair of the facades of houses lined with small-sized ceramic tiles was carried out using a polymer-cement mixture on reinforcing meshes. A facade repaired using this technology will last at least 30 years, which is confirmed by numerous tests and studies,” said Pyotr Biryukov.

During the overhaul of the facades of brick houses, mandatory hydrophobization is carried out – this is a modern processing method that protects against destructive processes associated with water ingress.

Most of the facades were repaired this year in the Southern, North-Eastern and Eastern administrative districts.
