Why Monsoon-Readiness Matters
India’s heavy rains, high humidity, and strong winds can damage poorly protected facades, leading to:
- Water seepage & structural damage
- Mold growth & indoor air quality issues
- Corrosion of metal components
- Increased maintenance costs
Pre-Monsoon Facade Inspection Checklist
Critical Areas to Examine:
🔍 Glazing Seals – Cracks in silicone joints?
🔍 Drainage Systems – Clogged weep holes?
🔍 Metal Components – Early rust spots?
🔍 Structural Anchors – Loose fasteners?
🔍 External Cladding – Cracks or gaps?
Pro Tip: Conduct a water spray test (IS 1363 Part 13) to detect hidden leaks.
Essential Monsoon-Proofing Upgrades
(A) Corrosion Protection
- Anodized Aluminum (Class I for coastal areas)
- Stainless Steel Hardware (Grade 316 for salt resistance)
- Anti-Corrosive Coatings (Zinc-rich primers)
(B) Wind Resistance
- Ensure facade systems meet IS 875 (Part 3) wind load standards
- Check anchor bolt torque values (typically 30-50 Nm)
Material-Specific Protection
UPVC Windows/Doors
- Clean drainage channels monthly
- Apply UV-resistant lubricant to tracks
Aluminum Glazing Systems
- Replace worn EPDM gaskets
- Verify thermal break integrity
Concrete Facades
- Apply hydrophobic impregnation
- Repair cracks >0.3mm immediately
