Architectural Surfaces Architectural Glass & Glazing News Careers Contact RETROFIT & RENOVATION REVITALIZING WITH ARCHITECTURAL SURFACES Old and outdated buildings in desirable locations offer many opportunities for owners and developers that are often times more attractive than the option to demolish and/or rebuild. On many projects, MG McGrath Architectural Glass & Glazing has worked with owners, developers, and project teams to successfully renovate these existing buildings into ones that meet the expectations of comfort, functionality, environmental performance, and cost. RENOVATION BENEFITS Increased commercial value, comfort, and functionality Ability to adapt building for different use Upgraded systems without compromising historical authenticity Newly designed space in less time and at a lower cost Due to the characteristics of the materials used to construct them, the aging of old and outdated buildings is rarely caused by structural decay. Buildings with good structural bones but outdated systems and exteriors can be upgraded to meet modern requirements and codes, and to increase commercial value, comfort, functionality, and environmental performance. In our experience, the most immediate advantage of renovation versus demolition and/or new construction is that the building already exists, often resulting in a much more sustainable approach with reduced cost, time, energy and debris.
