Complex facades

Complex facades require carefully designed Building Maintenance Units (BMU’s). With setbacks, curves, balconies, and cantilevers, a standard solution is often insufficient. Smart accessibility is essential to ensure safe and efficient maintenance.

Where a straight facade is still predictable, a complex facade demands advanced technology and forward planning. Access at height must be as thoughtfully designed as the facade itself. With innovative solutions and extensive experience, we design BMUs that make even the most complex facades safely, efficiently, and sustainably accessible, without ever compromising the building’s appearance or functionality.

Complex facades, smart solutions

A complex facade requires the same level of careful planning as the architectural design. Our innovative BMUs ensure that complex facades remain fully accessible, safe, and efficient, while preserving the building’s aesthetics and usability.

The design of this range of machines is easily altered to suit the specific needs of every project.

Safe and efficient maintenance, even for complex facades

Even for challenging facades, control and continuity are key. Our systems provide:

  • Maximum user safety
  • Robust, durable materials with a long service life
  • Comfortable working positions for more efficient maintenance
  • Manageable costs over the entire lifecycle
  • Assurance for facility managers and building owners

By planning smartly from the design stage, we prevent accessibility from becoming a bottleneck. Regardless of the building’s function, complex shapes are no longer a limitation for safe and efficient maintenance.

Comfortable and safe facade maintenance

Our facade maintenance systems are designed to make working at height safe, ergonomic, and efficient. The Facadexs Ergo gondola provides extra comfort for your team, allowing maintenance, inspection, or glass replacement to be carried out smoothly.

With smart options such as the glass replacement unit, glass facade panels can be positioned or removed safely and precisely, without risks or delays. Additional custom options make the system flexible for any building and situation.

Key benefits:

  • Safe and comfortable working at height

  • Efficient maintenance and glass replacement

  • Flexible and adaptable to your building and requirements

  • Reliable and durable solution

Building Maintenance Units for complex facades

Marriott Towers Dubai: Safe Maintenance of Complex Facades

Building maintenance units with a fixed jib can be equipped with a Glass Replacement Unit (GRU).  Glass panels can be replaced by using the BMU. The hoist system is used to lower the glass panels into place.

The cable reeler keeps BMU power and control cables safe, organized, and tangle-free. It ensures reliable operation and reduces maintenance downtime.

With a RAL color surface treatment we can provide building maintenance units with a lasting finish, matching the colors of the building, or the wishes of the customer.

The anemometer continuously measures wind speed at roof level or on the gondola. If the wind exceeds a preset limit, the system alerts the operator or automatically stops the BMU, ensuring safe operation at height.
Trackless BMUs offer flexible access to complex facades without fixed rails, ensuring safe and precise gondola movement.
