As you probably already know, delamination is the detachment of a laminated layer. This occurs regularly with the (Plastisol) coating of roofs or facades that are fitted with older cladding or panels. Façades that are exposed to the sun are particularly affected by this, because the plasticizers gradually disappear from the PVC coatings due to UV radiation. They therefore become dirt-sensitive and hard and the coating will loosen over time due to rain, wind and other weather influences. This was also the case with the facade of this business premises in Hengelo. Our specialists removed the old coating and then repainted the facade in a beautiful dark gray color!

Sometimes the damage is too great to repair and then it is decided to replace the panel. This is of course only possible if the relevant panel is still available and it is also structurally possible. That was the case at Citrosuco in Ghent (Belgium) where major damage was made to 2 panels of the outer wall of their cold store and freezer. The following processes have been performed:

- Disassemble the roof hoods

- Loosen the roof covering

- Disassemble the damaged panels

- Delivery and installation of the new panels

- Replace the roof caps

- Disposal of the old panels

A motor vehicle had caused considerable damage to this panel between 2 overhead doors! This time we were called in by an insurer, because the owner of the business premises could have the damage repaired through his insurance. We can proudly say that all well-known insurers are happy to make use of Van Heemskerk's expertise. When the owner of the property came after the time to see if the damage had been repaired to his satisfaction, he asked: "Was there any damage to the left or right jamb next to the overhead door?" Look, that's what we do it for!
