Façades

Façade renovation from a single source: external wall insulation, rendering and painting – coordinated between our plastering and painting departments, scaffolding arrangements included. From a single house façade to the renovation of several multi-family buildings.

  • External wall insulation – as a composite insulation system with a finishing render
  • Crack repair – properly repaired before the new build-up
  • Scaffolding arrangements – as part of project planning
  • Coordination with painting – for the finished façade paint

Frequently asked questions

Façades – in brief

Do you also carry out façade insulation?

Yes. External wall insulation is part of our façade work – as a composite insulation system with a finishing render, energy-efficient and finished to look the way you want.

How long does a renovated façade last?

Properly done and with a suitable paint finish, several decades – what matters is the preparation of the substrate, the render system and later maintenance.

Does a façade renovation need scaffolding?

For most multi-family buildings, yes. We organise the scaffolding as part of project planning – you don't need to worry about it.

Process

How it works

  • Assess the condition – Cracks, hollow areas, algae, old paintwork: we check what the façade needs – sometimes a coat of paint is enough, sometimes it isn't.
  • Arrange the scaffolding – We obtain the quotes, coordinate erection and dismantling and clarify permits where public land is affected.
  • Prepare the substrate – Crack repair, patching hollow areas, cleaning – this step decides how long everything that follows will last.
  • Insulate or render – External wall insulation as a composite system including reinforcement and finishing render, or render only without insulation.
  • Painting by our painting department – The façade paint comes from our own team – coordinated colour choice, no interface between two firms.
Our reference project

Five multi-family buildings in a row

At Schaufelweg in Köniz we renovated five multi-family buildings for Swiss Life: external insulation, plastering and painting, coordinated with the property manager Livit AG and in step with the residents – 2024 to 2025.

For owners and property managers: a façade renovation with insulation may qualify for energy funding – the programmes differ by municipality and canton. We are not energy consultants, but we will point it out when a project may qualify, so that you can look into it before work starts.
