One of the main problems of modern panel buildings is the lack of sealing joints. Such an "illness" can cause:
Sealing of inter-panel joints is carried out withusing a variety of materials and using advanced technologies. The choice of the method of sealing joints is best entrusted to an experienced specialist. It must take into account the condition of the joints, as well as the type of panels from which the building was erected. For this, a thorough inspection of the object is carried out.
Sealing joints is divided into the following types:
1) Primary. It involves the laying of a heater, on top of which the sealant is applied.
2) Secondary. In this case, we are talking about sealing previously sealed joints. That is, a new layer of material must be applied to the old one.
3) Secondary sealing of joints with their fullautopsy. To begin with, the joints are cleaned of the old layer of insulation and other materials. Then, repeated sealing of the joints is carried out. Only professionals can perform it quickly and efficiently.
4) Secondary sealing of panel joints attheir partial dissection. Select a certain area of the joint, from which the layer of insulation and sealant is removed. New materials are used to seal the seam.
As for the cost of such a service, itdirectly depends on the type, complexity and duration of work. For example, the primary sealing of seams involves the installation of insulation and other materials.
For buildings built from sandwich panels,Strength and reliability are no less important than for buildings made of reinforced concrete products. Only here it is necessary to seal not the joints themselves, but roofing seams. For this purpose, highly elastic materials and rubber seals are used.
Sealing the seams of sandwich panels will further prevent the appearance of leaks and drafts. In addition, you will be able to maintain the thermal insulation properties of this building material.
So, we talked about how to seal the joints inbuildings made of reinforced concrete and sandwich panels. Without the use of reliable and durable sealants, it is also impossible to erect glass facades. In this case, special silicone-based adhesive materials are suitable. Such sealants are highly resistant to sudden temperature changes, UV radiation and to the influence of atmospheric precipitation.
Often, seal joints and seams between panelsis at a sufficiently high altitude. And this implies a serious risk. Therefore, only real professionals in the field of repair and construction technologies and high-altitude work will be able to cope with such work.
For someone, all of the above points appearinsignificant, but it is from them that the moisture resistance of the entire panel will depend. From this one can draw one conclusion: the selection of sealing elements must be approached with all responsibility.
