Full exterior restoration of a Georgia headquarters building
Two football fields of glass, metal and precast, plus nearly eight miles of caulking, restored and protected in one programme.
In September 2015 Presto completed an extensive exterior restoration of the North American Mission Board building in Alpharetta, Georgia.
The scale of it
The entire exterior surface was in scope: glass, metal and precast concrete, covering the distance of two football fields. Nearly eight miles of caulking on the structure’s joints was replaced with Dow Corning 757 SMS stain-resistant silicone.
Why restoration alone was not the point
Many high-rise buildings are built much the same way, and most are cleaned in the traditional manner every six months. Stains reappear on the glass, metal and precast within a couple of years of restoration, and the cycle repeats.
The whole exterior was restored and then protected with Presto’s product line, so the building can hold its original appearance rather than return to the same cycle. Maintained properly, it should not need expensive restoration again.
A decade of evidence
After more than a decade of continued use and testing, case study after case study shows the same thing: Presto’s protective treatments and maintenance process keep building facades stain-free.
Products used on this project
The full Presto line was used across glass, metal and precast on this project.
