Facade blasting for graffiti removal

A first option is to have the facade blasted. This cleaning method is the most aggressive and is mainly used to remove graffiti or other types of heavy soiling, such as heavy soot deposits. For this method, water is mixed with blasting medium and is sprayed against your facade under great pressure. This allows a professional to easily remove graffiti. You cannot easily do facade blasting yourself, because if you want to do it in an environmentally friendly way, the abrasive must be collected. In addition, you often need a permit or exemption.

If you choose to have your facade blasted, there are several more options. Sandblasting is one of the toughest ways and mist blasting is a milder form. Spray blasting is suitable for sensitive materials and can be used on almost any facade. Because of this, it is often used on historic buildings.
