Certain rules should be observed when designing the façade. Firstly, it is important to match the color scheme of the façade to the surrounding buildings in order to create a visual unity. Secondly, owners should bear in mind that colors can have a different effect on large surfaces than expected, which is why a test coat is recommended. Thirdly, the design options vary depending on the type of building. Modern buildings benefit from clear structures, while historic buildings gain character through emphasized building elements.
Before starting the actual façade work, it is important to check the condition of the façade carefully and carry out repairs if necessary. Minor damage such as cracks should be repaired before painting to avoid long-term damage. Thorough cleaning of the façade - using a high-pressure cleaner, for example - is also essential to ensure the durability of the paint.
Before plastering or painting, the façade should be primed to ensure even adhesion. The absorbency and chalking behavior of the substrate must also be taken into account. A primer can help to ensure that the subsequent coats of façade paint or render adhere optimally and that the façade remains in good condition in the long term.
