In modern construction, after the insulation of facades over time, the next stage is necessary – their repair. Repair of insulated facades preserves and increases the operational efficiency of thermal insulation systems of facades, ensures durability and improves the appearance of the building. Research results indicate the importance of correct installation and maintenance of insulated facades at the initial stages of construction. It was found that at this stage, various defects can occur, which negatively affect their thermal insulation efficiency and overall reliability during operation. Defects in the installation of insulating materials and other factors can reduce the effectiveness of insulation. The work examines various aspects of the repair, such as replacement of thermal insulation layers, replacement of damaged components and restoration of the appearance of the facade. One of the key tasks is the restoration of the thermal insulation layer, which may be damaged as a result of mechanical or other influences. It is important to inspect in detail, determine the degree of damage and, if necessary, replace insulating materials that may lose their thermal insulation properties in the future. In addition, the restoration of the outer finish layer is the part of the process of repairing insulated facades to ensure an attractive appearance of the building and to protect the internal structural layers, especially the thermal insulation material, from climatic and other factors. It was established that over time, different materials of the thermal insulation layer have different indicators of destruction. Particular attention should be paid to the selection of system materials that have similar vapor permeability properties. This approach will help ensure the necessary properties of the thermal insulation system and keep the appearance of the building in perfect condition for a long period of operation. It has been established that after the restoration of isolated facades, it is important to take care of their maintenance. Properly performing regular inspection and maintenance will help detect possible problems in a timely manner and prevent serious damage in the future. Climate and local building standards must also be taken into account when selecting repair materials to ensure optimal facade performance. In the process of research, it was found that repair methods are chosen, first of all, based on the technical condition of the building and the degree of damage obtained as a result of the survey. This allows you to choose the appropriate repair methods and assess the associated risks. It should be noted that a specialist who carefully examines and determines the state of facade insulation must have certain competencies in the arrangement and repair of facades. Therefore, the research results emphasize the importance of quality repair and maintenance of insulated facades to ensure their reliability, efficiency and durability. It was found that in order to ensure the quality and safety of construction objects, it is important to carry out systematic repair and maintenance of insulated facades, which can be damaged due to various influences. This allows you to preserve the building's energy efficiency and maintain its aesthetic appearance over a long period of operation.
