Parapet Wall Repair
Parapet walls are the low protective walls or barriers that extend above the roofline and are an integral part of the building's exterior façade. Over time, parapet walls suffer from weathering, cracking, spalling or structural damage due to exposure to the elements, freeze-thaw cycles or improper construction.
Rebuilding parapet walls involves carefully dismantling the damaged portions, assessing the underlying structural integrity and reconstructing them using suitable masonry materials and techniques.
Shelf Angle Support
Shelf angles are horizontal metal elements installed at each floor level and provide support for the weight of masonry walls or other cladding materials. Over time, shelf angles deteriorate due to factors like rust, corrosion or improper installation. This leads to cracking, spalling or displacement of the masonry above, causing potential safety hazards and compromising the integrity of the building's façade.
During the rebuilding or repairing process, damaged or corroded shelf angles are carefully removed and the underlying support areas are thoroughly inspected. Our skilled masons assess the condition of the supporting structure to decide the appropriate course of action.
Lintel Support
Lintels deteriorate due to factors like rust, corrosion, water infiltration or excessive load stress. This leads to cracks, sagging or displacement of the masonry above, posing safety risks and compromising the overall structural stability of the building. Bond Façade will assess and repair lintels.
Projected Masonry Assemblages
Projected masonry assemblies are decorative architectural features and add character to the building's façade. Over time, projections deteriorate due to weather, temperature changes, moisture or other environmental factors. This leads to cracks, spalling or disintegration of the masonry components, affecting their structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
During the rebuilding process, our skilled masons dismantle the damaged or deteriorated masonry projections and assess the underlying support structure. The restoration process involves replicating the original design using suitable masonry materials and craftsmanship.
