Every facade deserves new life with the right facade film

Of course, as the owner of the property, you can have a painter come in, but by doing so you accept the maintenance that comes with painting. There is a much better solution: having it covered with a durable film. Now let that be the specialty of Building Wrap Foil Technology! We speak with Fred Kok, director and owner of Building Wrap Folie Techniek BV. "We specialize in the application of facade film and solar window film," Fred opens the conversation. "To ensure maximum quality, we work with renowned brands such as 3M, Renolit and Avery Facade film. Our film is applied to aluminum and plastic window frames, as well as aluminum or Trespa facade cladding."

A true transformation

If the color of a facade is dated or weathered, Building Wrap provides a true transformation. "When the before and after situation are compared, mouths fall open in amazement. A fresh new color or print works wonders. The advantages are many. The film lasts more than 15 years, so during that time you don't have to worry about it. No facade panels need to be replaced, saving time, materials and costs. This circular solution also reduces CO₂ emissions reduced. The possibilities in terms of appearance are also numerous: solid colors, wood and natural stone are among the options. Working with maintenance-free facade foil is not only of our time, but also the right way for the future," Fred outlines.

The work process

Fred can be brief and to the point: "The most important thing in the pasting process is the cleaning and pre-treatment of the facade parts to be pasted. With traditional painting you have to sand, apply a primer, possibly sand and paint again. That's a lot of labor-intensive work, with the chance of the paint peeling off after 2 or 3 years. With facade foil it is pre-treatment, bonding, done and then no longer need to worry about the facade for 15 years. In short: it is cost-saving and environmentally sustainable."

Own professionals

Building Wrap can guarantee perfect results thanks to working with the best brands in film and having its own applicators. "Our people are expertly trained film mechanics and have all safety certifications. For our company, employees are our most important 'assets.' To go one step further, we are now working on ISO 9001 certification and VCA company certificates. Quality assurance is a real priority for us."

Sun protection window film

Building Wrap Folie Techniek not only has facade film, but also specializes in solar control window film. "In this, as a 3M Premium Dealer, we are distinctive in the Netherlands. The summers are getting hotter and longer which now creates a need for cooling. The solution to this is sought in power-guzzling air conditioners. However, since cooling costs five times more energy than "just" heating, this is not a cheap and environmentally friendly solution. The unique 3M Prestige solar control window film prevents too much heat from entering. This window film also offers a solution for buildings that are "over-insulated" (HR⁺⁺) and/or not being able to adequately ventilate which also causes heat nuisance.
