Since the Institute for Surface Technology was founded in 1995, our experts have been involved not only in selecting and recommending designs for façade surfaces, but also in the maintenance and care of surfaces that have already been exposed to the elements. An assessment and condition survey carried out by our experts enables a decision to be made as to whether cost-effective, professional cleaning is possible or whether refurbishment is necessary. As such, our recommendations often help to achieve significant cost savings and ensure the best possible result. IFO – Institut für Oberflächentechnik GmbH has been working as an independent testing institute for the Gütegemeinschaft Fassadensanierung e.V. (GFS; www.gfs-online.net) since the GFS was founded. This means that, where refurbishment is required, we can also draw on a network of specialist contractors who specialise in the refurbishment of larger properties.
