🏙️ Preserving Architectural Heritage: The Importance of Maintaining Metal Cornices in New York City Buildings 🏢

8 April 2024

🏢 In the urban landscape of New York, 6 to 10-story buildings are fundamental pillars that shape our communities. From residential apartments to commercial spaces, each of these buildings has its own story to tell.

🔧 At M+S, we are aware of the critical importance of maintaining metal cornices in buildings of this scale. Our experience in supervision and maintenance of construction has allowed us to perfect techniques and solutions that ensure the durability and structural integrity of these architectural features.

💼 Our approach covers every detail of the metal cornice maintenance process. From initial inspection to the implementation of customized solutions, our team is committed to ensuring that these key structures are in optimal condition. This includes the removal and replacement of flashing, rebuilding backup structures, and the application of high-quality sealing fluids, such as those from Sika USA, as well as the use of primed and painted 24-gauge galvanized steel to patch or replace damaged elements.

🌟 But our commitment does not stop at the surface. We also focus on the long-term protection of these structures against the elements. To achieve this, we implement a bond break barrier with adhesive-backed polyethylene tape, such as the reliable “Polyethylene Tape 483” from 3M, ensuring superior thermal protection between differential materials and increased resistance to wear.

👷‍♂️ By entrusting M+S, you not only get first-class maintenance service but also the peace of mind knowing that your metal cornices are in the hands of experts committed to excellence. From small repairs to complete restoration projects, we are here to preserve the beauty and integrity of your building, one building at a time.
