Why renovate the facade of a building in Mauritius?

In tropical climates, building facades deteriorate due to humidity, sea salt, and UV radiation. Cracks allow water to seep in. Facade renovation treats the substrate, applies a durable antifungal coating, and restores the building’s appearance. Y²M Co. Ltd. systematically prepares surfaces before any application.

What type of paint should I use for exterior applications in a tropical climate?

The recommended facade paints in Mauritius are acrylic or siloxane formulations, resistant to humidity, UV rays, and fungal growth. Thorough preparation (high-pressure cleaning, filling, and priming) is essential for the finish’s longevity.

How does a painting project proceed on an active building?

Y²M Co. Ltd adapts the schedule and work areas to maintain business continuity. Work is carried out at night, on weekends, or during holidays, depending on constraints. A complete site cleanup is performed each evening before work resumes.

Does Y²M Co. Ltd undertake painting work on NHF-listed buildings?
