Repair Your Building Envelope Before It's Too Late
The term “building envelope” is used frequently in the construction and efficiency world, referring to how well your property is insulated. In other words, keeping the elements out, and your climate-controlled interior environment consistent.
While brick can be extremely efficient, warming and cooling slowly (thus maintaining temperature consistency), age and the elements eventually compromise your exterior armor. As your masonry ages and continues to deteriorate with time, moisture intrusion and decay will eventually punch holes in your envelope. This leads to energy loss, damage, and the need for extensive repairs.
