Permasteelisa Group’s FaçadeCare Expands in the Middle East
The FaçadeCare team is a specialised group of professionals who excel in maintaining, protecting, and enhancing façades
Permasteelisa Group has significantly expanded its FaçadeCare business, which is dedicated to extending the lifespan of façades on buildings across the Middle East. In the past year alone, the FaçadeCare business has experienced 33% growth, the company said.
The FaçadeCare team is a specialised group of professionals who excel in maintaining, protecting, and enhancing façades. Their primary objective is to preserve the value of façades, reduce associated costs, and enhance the environmental performance of buildings. Permasteelisa Group’s FaçadeCare is also offered to customers in London, as well as in other European countries.
The services offered by the FaçadeCare team include comprehensive inspections, planned and preventative maintenance, façade cleaning, glass replacement, and emergency call-outs. These inspections are supported by advanced diagnostic techniques such as thermal imaging and water leakage tests, enabling the team to identify and address hidden issues promptly, preventing them from escalating into more significant problems.
Alessio De Mitri, Executive General Manager in the region, comments, “For decades, Permasteelisa Group has been trusted to preserve the façades we design and build. In response to a growing demand for specialist aftercare, FaçadeCare allows us to offer our technical expertise, resources and experience to all building owners and managers in the Middle East. A façade represents up to 30% of a building’s total construction cost, so extending its lifespan is crucial. Without regular care and attention, it will age rapidly, which can compromise the property’s energy efficiency, safety and aesthetics.”
“In the Middle East, this risk is heightened by extreme heat, strong winds, sandstorms, and temperature fluctuations. In addition, many of the buildings constructed over the last couple of decades have not been properly maintained or are suffering from poor workmanship, which is accelerating façade degradation. Drawing on Pemasteelisa Group’s expertise and resources, FaçadeCare addresses these issues through specialist maintenance services and preventative treatments. Working with designers, engineers and suppliers, our aim is to preserve façades for as long as possible, ensuring buildings remain safe, visually striking and sustainable,” De Mitri added.
Given the extreme climate conditions prevalent in the Middle East, the FaçadeCare team’s maintenance offerings are tailored to address the specific challenges posed by these conditions. Their focus is on ensuring water tightness, structural integrity, and areas most susceptible to wind load and thermal stress.
