Facade construction
Graffiti is a nuisance, especially in urban areas, but also on private facades. If your property is in a well-frequented area, it is particularly interesting for graffiti artists. The orientation is shown by the fact that, for example, motorway bridges and train station buildings are very often affected. Therefore, a graffiti protection is recommended.
The fact is: the more porous the materials of your facade, the more difficult it is to to remove graffiti and restore the facade to its original state. Villas made of sandstone or brick, but also concrete facades are very often victims of sprayers. These leave behind their "work of art" and will become a nuisance for you. We are particularly careful when removing graffiti. In addition, we offer you graffiti cleaning that is tailored to the special features of the substrate and the severity of the dirt. Depending on the needs and the problem, we can clean the facade by washing, retouching or with the subsequent application of a color. It is important that you do not wait too long before commissioning professional facade cleaning. The quicker you get graffiti removed, the more protection you have against the likelihood of copycats enlarging the image and your facade becoming a canvas for spray artists.
Have you ever been a victim of graffiti sprayers and paid a lot of money to remove it? We recommend permanent or temporary graffiti protection in the form of a coat of paint. This provides lasting protection and prevents the spray paint from sticking to your facade. Especially in the case of listed properties, the special graffiti protection can be helpful as a measure in the concrete cosmetics.
We differentiate between temporary (sacrificial layer), semi-permanent and permanent graffiti protection systems - there are also graffiti protection systems with a hydrophobic effect (= moisture-repellent). Depending on the type of building and the desired level of protection, we recommend the right concept for exposed concrete and natural stone, for artificial stone facades, clinker brick and fiber cement or plastic panels. Also on metal or colored facades, graffiti protection is a cheaper and better solution in the long term than working on graffiti removal. We will be happy to inform you in a personal consultation which protection system is best suited for your individual property.
Many Swiss cities and property owners have already had facades treated with our graffiti protection systems. This prevented damage that would be difficult to remove and the interest of sprayers. Most of our clients for graffiti removal would not have thought that their object would be attractive to a sprayer.
MVM is your reliable expert if you want to remove graffiti or have an all-in-one facade cleaning including graffiti removal and impregnation. Do you want to reduce your risk in advance? Then think about our graffiti protection early on. Opt for an impregnation that makes your facade resistant to "artistic soiling" from the spray can. We would be happy to advise you personally on preventive measures, which are particularly recommended for properties and public areas with porous surfaces. Many Swiss cities are leading the way and have had their monument buildings treated with protective graffiti protection. The result is convincing and sprayers have largely lost interest. This is because your picture does not stick and accordingly does not become an eye-catcher in the city.
