神飛Maintenance continues after the clean.
Protective and coating treatments for building exteriors, planned alongside cleaning and inspection.

Once a facade is clean and its condition is known, it can be protected. Coating and protective treatments follow the same planning, site control and record-keeping as all our work.
Product systems, application methods and expected service life depend on the facade material and the treatment specified. These are confirmed per project.
- Suitable surfaces
- Confirmed for each facade material, finish and condition during site assessment
- Product systems
- Selected for the facade material and specified in the project proposal, with a trial area before full application
- Typical sequence
- Inspect, clean, treat, record
- Records delivered
- Treated zones, dates and conditions of application
- 01Assess
We visit the building and read it: height, surroundings, facade material, access, and who uses it.
- 02Plan
The facade is split into zones, flight paths are drawn, and the ground below is closed off on paper first.
- 03Execute
Drone work runs to the project SOP, one zone at a time, with the site under control.
- 04Record
Every pass and every image is logged against a zone and a floor.
- 05Deliver
You receive the project record: what was done, what was found, and what we suggest next.
Every surface is checked before it is treated.
A protective system is chosen for the facade material, its finish and its condition, and is specified in the project proposal. Before any treatment, we check the points below on each material and complete a trial area.
| Facade material | Checked before treatment |
|---|---|
| M-01 Granite | The finish, and how readily the stone absorbs water |
| M-02 Marble | The condition of the polish, and sensitivity to acidic products |
| M-03 Travertine | Whether the pores are filled, and with what |
| M-04 Ceramic tile | Hollow or loose tiles, and the condition of the joints |
| M-05 Glass curtain wall | Any coating on the glass, and the state of the sealant joints |
| M-06 Fair-faced concrete | Any existing sealer, and how a trial area looks once dry |
| M-07 Metal panel | The panel coating type, chalking and edge corrosion |
Frequently asked questions
Which surfaces can be treated?
Protective treatments exist for most common facade materials, including natural stone, ceramic tile, fair-faced concrete, glass and metal. Whether we recommend one for your facade depends on its material, finish and condition, and is confirmed during the site assessment.
Does the facade need to be cleaned first?
Yes. A treatment needs a clean, dry and sound surface, so the facade is normally inspected and cleaned before it is applied. Damaged areas, such as loose tiles or failed sealant, should be repaired first.
Will the treatment change how the facade looks?
It depends on the product. Some treatments are designed to be almost invisible; others can slightly darken the surface or change its sheen. A trial area is done first, so the result can be approved before full application.
How long does a protective treatment last?
It depends on the product, the material, exposure to sun and rain, and how the facade is maintained. Any expected service life is stated in the project proposal for the specific product system, based on the manufacturer’s documentation. We do not quote a general figure or guarantee.
How should a treated facade be maintained?
Clean it regularly with cleaning agents suitable for the treated surface, and avoid harsh or acidic products, which can shorten the life of a treatment. Periodic inspection shows when it is wearing off; for water-repellent treatments, water no longer beading on the surface is an early sign. Reapplication is planned from those inspection results.
