Problem
Buildings originally designed as offices may need window openings and intervals re-designed when changing the property's use.
Complete remodelling to cover over alterations and upgrade the overall appearance of the facade is often required.
Due to increasing requirements for thermal insulation, buildings undergoing change of use may often require upgraded insulation in walls.
A decision needs to be made regarding the positioning of new insulation. Cavity sizes are restricted and internal insulation reduces the floor space available for use.
Some features, especially those that puncture the facade e.g. wing walls and balcony walkways can provide thermal spikes and cold spots that are subject to condensation internally.
Condensation leads to other problems such as mould growth and musty odours in environments that are becoming more and more enclosed in order to reduce heating costs.
Solution
Re-fenestrate and insulate exterior of building
Use steel framing and external sheathing board to re-fenestrate and external wall insulation to protect, insulate and upgrade the structure's facade. In doing so, the whole construction is kept warm with condensation risks and cold spots eliminated.
