Facade Cleaning Protects Your Home and Your Health

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The airtight thermal insulation that currently adorns most panel buildings contributes to the proliferation of mould and moss. Many facades are thus covered in a green-black mass, and residents of housing estates struggle with respiratory problems. However, even a long-neglected facade can be treated and rid of contaminants using pressure cleaning and biochemistry.</span>

<h2>Which building locations put a facade most at risk?</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Whether your apartment building is located in the middle of a concrete housing estate or closer to natural vegetation, climatic conditions act on it throughout the year and leave their mark on the condition of the facade. A building that is close to a forest, woodland park or body of water primarily contends with moisture, which contributes to the growth of moss, fungi and mould. These organic contaminants thrive especially on the north-east and north-west sides of buildings, where the sun fails to reach for most of the day. Buildings in city centres, on the other hand, are more affected by smog and dust, as well as emissions from cars and chimneys. <em>Over time, every facade — regardless of where it is located — becomes coated in dirt and loses its original beauty.</em></span>

<h2>Insulated facades require the most care</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Particular care is required for insulated facades on panel buildings, where thermal insulation prevents the free flow of air. The airtightness and lack of sunlight then cause persistent wall dampness. The negative effects of this airtightness are most pronounced on the north-facing side of the building. If we neglect cleaning a facade affected in this way, colonies of microorganisms will irreversibly damage it. The insulation will be compromised, cracks will form and the facade will lose its protective function. <em>Maintenance should therefore be repeated at least every 5 years.</em> After gentle washing with a stream of warm water, we treat the facade surface with a spray that provides long-term protection against the spread of microorganisms. You can also call our company if you only want to clean the north-facing side of the building, or for example a garden shed or driveway. <a href="https://umyjemto.cz/sluzby/cisteni-fasad-rodinnych-domu/">Facade cleaning from Umyjemto</a> is fast and environmentally friendly.</span>

<h2>A quality coating prevents dirt from settling</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Even a long-neglected facade that has been affected by dust, smog or smoke <a href="https://umyjemto.cz/sluzby/myti-fasad-bytovych-domu/">can be restored to its former glory with the help of high-quality Kabe Farben coatings</a>. These paints are distinguished by enhanced resistance to contamination, a self-cleaning effect, and — thanks to the use of inorganic pigments — high colour stability. They thus guarantee protection against all types of organic and inorganic contaminants.</span>
