When evaluating the thermal performance of a commercial building, insulation thickness is only part of the equation. The way exterior cladding is attached to the building can also have a meaningful effect on heat transfer through the wall. Thermal clips are commonly used in modern commercial cladding systems to support
Parkades are exposed to constant vehicle traffic, water, road salts, oil, and seasonal temperature changes. Over time, that combination can wear down protective coatings and allow moisture to reach the concrete below. A properly installed parkade traffic coating helps protect the surface from water and contaminants while providing a durable
At some point in the life of almost every commercial building, the roof reaches the end of its useful life. The membrane has aged well past its warranty, repairs are happening more often than they used to, and the conversations in budget meetings start circling around the same question: do
For facility managers, a full roof replacement is often one of the largest capital expenses to plan for. With competing priorities in every budget cycle, it makes sense to look for ways to extend the life of the existing system. The good news is that with the right approach, that
Most building owners schedule a cladding inspection because something has already caught their attention. A panel looks like it has shifted. A stain shows up after a heavy rain. A property manager flags a concern during a walkthrough. Others do it as part of regular maintenance, which is the better
Concrete is one of the toughest materials used in construction, but it does not last forever. Parking decks, balconies, and plaza slabs go through constant wear from traffic, temperature changes, moisture, and deicing chemicals. Over time, that wear starts to show. You might see cracks, surface damage, or rust stains.
Aluminum composite material (ACM) panels are everywhere in commercial construction. They are clean-looking, durable, and efficient to install, which makes them a common choice for everything from retail buildings to offices and mixed-use properties. What is less obvious is that not all ACM panels perform the same way when it
Your building’s exterior cladding does more than make the property look good. It sits between your structure and the tricky thing about cladding failure is that it almost never happens all at once. It starts quietly, in spots that are easy to overlook during a regular walkthrough. By the time
