Why clean your facade?
Facade cleaning goes far beyond the aesthetic aspect.
It is also about protecting the structure and avoiding costly renovations in the long term.
The benefits of facade cleaning:
1. Preserve the durability of materials:
By removing contaminants, you slow down their degradation.
2. Improve the overall appearance: A clean facade immediately adds value to the building.
3. Prepare for renovation: Before any painting or coating, a thorough cleaning is necessary to ensure the adhesion of the products.
4. Prevent structural problems:
Mold or lichen can creep in and cause long-term damage.
Cleaning methods adapted to each facade
Each facade is unique, whether it is made of stone, brick, concrete or wood.
Here are the main techniques adapted to different materials.
1. High-pressure cleaning: For solid facades
High pressure cleaning is ideal for removing embedded dirt from tough surfaces such as concrete or stone.
Benefits :
• Fast and efficient.
• Removes the most stubborn dirt, such as moss or pollution.
Case study:
In a house in Draguignan, a concrete facade blackened by pollution regained its shine in one day thanks to high-pressure cleaning.
Pressure settings have been adjusted to prevent damage to seals.
2. Scrubbing and aerogommage: Gentleness for delicate surfaces
Scrubbing uses an abrasive projected at low pressure, while aerogommage combines a very fine abrasive and compressed air.
These techniques are ideal for fragile facades.
Benefits :
• Preserves architectural details.
• Removes graffiti and paint marks.
Case study:
In Grimaud , sandblasting was used to restore a limestone facade covered with traces of old paint .
The process allowed the natural texture of the stone to be preserved while removing dirt.
3. Hydroblasting: An ecological alternative
Hydroblasting combines water and an abrasive to clean surfaces without emitting dust.
Benefits :
• Suitable for urban areas sensitive to dust.
• Particularly suitable for brick or natural stone facades .
Case study:
In a villa in Sainte-Maxime, a brick facade was cleaned using hydroblasting.
This method made it possible to eliminate moss and lichens while preserving the integrity of the bricks.
4. Chemical cleaning: For specific stains
Chemical cleaning uses specific products to dissolve dirt , grease or rust stains.
Benefits :
• Effective against urban pollution and smoke traces.
• Suitable for painted or fragile surfaces.
Case study:
In Roquebrune-sur-Argens , a rendered facade was treated with specific chemicals to eliminate traces of rust caused by adjacent metal elements.
5. Manual cleaning: Precision and delicacy
For hard-to-reach areas or architectural details, manual cleaning remains an essential method.
Recommended tools:
• Soft brushes for delicate areas.
• Detergents suitable for the type of material.
Case study:
In a historic building in Saint-Tropez, the stone sculptures on the facade were cleaned manually to preserve their integrity.
