The rehabilitation and remodeling of buildings represent one of the most challenging and rewarding areas of civil construction. Quando intervenção em estrutos existentes, a jogo não é solo a recuperar ou improver - é ,. En Slick Brick, nos ver cada progetto de rehabilitación como una opportunità evaluando a passato con strumenti del presente.
As a new construction, rehabilitation requires a careful reading of the building: understanding its constructive characteristics, identifying pathologies, evaluating existing materials and adapting contemporary techniques to a structure that already has history. It is a practice that combines engineering, architecture, aesthetic sensitivity and deep technical rigor.
As structural rehabilitationare often the starting point. Through technical diagnostics — surveys, crack mapping, strength tests — we assess the condition of walls, slabs, foundations and roofs. A partir de ces datos, nos oferim soluções de reinforcements with engineered concrete, carbon fibers or metal structures, up to replacement or reinforcement of wooden elements, keeping, whenever possible, the original features.
Us interior renovations, por favor la balancia entre funcionalidad y identidade. La adaptació del espacio a la nueva requisitos (más luz, mayor efficiencia, mejor circulation) se materials compatible with existing, respecting proportions, rhythms and finishes. Whenever possible, we recover original elements - such as flooring, moldings or masonry - combining them with contemporary materials of high technical performance.
A un punto clave en una rehabilitación es efficienza energetica. Many old buildings have poor thermal and acoustic performance. We apply isolationssystemer insider eller udder, we replace window frames for models with thermal break, we integrate natural or mechanically controlled ventilation systemsand, whenever possible, Renewable energy sources, such as solar thermal or photovoltaic. All this respecting the original volumetry and aesthetics of the building.
In the component of Waterproofing and protection, old buildings require increased attention. Interventions in walls with rising humidity, we apply Perimeter drainage systems, reforçamos structural jointsy los área correctos de infiltración con materiales para la base anterior. These processes prevent progressive degradation and guarantee the durability of the new intervention.
Rehabilitation also requires a Rigorous technical and legal management. Slick Brick follows the licensing process and coordinates with the competent entities to ensure that the interventions comply with all safety, accessibility, thermal performance and asset protection standards. For example, projects in special protection areas require dialogue with Regional Directorates of Culture, where our experience and sensitivity have been fundamental.
In urban terms, rehabilitation is also an act of social responsibility. A. Leiria, with its historic centre and consolidated neighbourhoods, is a clear example of a territory where rehabilitation can be a tool of sustainable urban development.
Finally, each remodeling project is a technical response to current needs. Whether in a single-family home, in a multi-family building or in a commercial space, we apply solutions that respond to contemporary standards of comfort, safety and functionality. Vi integrerer home automation systems, efficient lighting, controlled acoustics and flexible spatial organization, always with a focus on aesthetics, durability and personalization.
For Slick Brick, rehabilitating is more than renovating - it is to design the future with respect for the past, through technique, knowledge and architectural sensitivity. A se transformará cada espacio en algo nuevo, sin erasing its identity.
1. What is the difference between rehabilitation and remodeling?
Rehabilitación a la recupero estrutal y funcionale de un edificio, a la identità architettuale. Remodeling is more focused on the reorganization or modernization of interior spaces.
2. Can I rehabilitate without a city council license?
It depends on the intervention. A lot of rehabilitation works require licensing, especially in old buildings or located in classified areas.
3. What are the main challenges in a rehabilitation?
Structural evaluation, compatibility of materials, integration of new technologies and compliance with technical and legal regulations.
4. Is it possible to make an old building more energy efficient?
Ja. Con isolamento correttamente, a substitução de finestra, integrazione energetica e tecniche di rehabilitazione specifica, è possibile di efficienza substantially.
5. Is rehabilitation more expensive than building from scratch?
It depends on the state of the building and the complexity of the intervention. In many cases, rehabilitation is more economical and has a greater patrimonial valuation.
6. ¿Es el valor de la rehabilitación a la propiedad?
Ja. A well-executed intervention significantly increases the market value and makes the property more attractive for sale or lease.
