Mechelen – Complete Facade Renovation with Fresh Light Crepi and Black Plinth

A beautiful makeover for this home in Mechelen. The old facade received a sleek, smooth crepi layer with a stylish black finish at the bottom, resulting in a modern and perfectly insulated outer shell.

Facade Renovation Light Crepi Facade Insulation Black Plinth Mechelen

In Mechelen, we carried out a targeted facade renovation to give this characterful home a fresh, contemporary appearance. By completely wrapping the facade with high-quality insulation and finishing it with a light-colored, dirt-repellent decorative plaster (crepi), we not only modernized the aesthetics but also greatly improved the energy efficiency of the home. The dark plinth at the bottom provides a sleek contrast and extra protection against splashing water.

What We Achieved in Mechelen

Phase 1 – Preparation and Insulation

Thorough cleaning and preparation of the substrate, followed by the seamless installation of high-quality facade insulation boards over the entire exterior wall.

Phase 2 – Reinforcement and Plastering

Application of a reinforcing mesh in the base coat to prevent cracking, finished with a sleek, light-colored layer of water-repellent crepi.

Phase 3 – Plinth Finishing

Installation and finishing of the dark facade plinth at the bottom of the building, providing a visual base and extra resistance against rising damp.

1. Sleek and Light Crepi Facade

  • Covering the facade with a durable, light decorative plaster
  • Dirt and water-repellent properties for long-lasting color preservation
  • Seamless, professional connection around all windows, doors, and roof edges
  • Provides an immediate visual upgrade to the streetscape

Why choose crepi? Crepi is the ideal choice for facade renovation because it is not only highly versatile aesthetically but also perfectly combinable with exterior wall insulation. It gives your house a completely new "coat" that protects against wind and weather. Ask us for advice for your home.

2. High-Quality Facade Insulation

  • Installation of insulation boards directly onto the exterior wall
  • Elimination of thermal bridges for an optimal indoor climate
  • Ensures a significant drop in your heating costs
  • Immediately improves the EPC score of your property

3. Contrasting Black Plinth

  • Construction of a dark, protective plinth at the base of the facade
  • Prevents damage to the crepi from splashing rainwater and dirt
  • Creates an architectural, modern contrast with the bright superstructure

The Result of This Facade Project

Modern Transformation

The outdated facade has been transformed into a sleek, bright surface that immediately modernizes the home.

Energy Saving

The thick layer of exterior wall insulation under the crepi keeps the heat inside in winter and outside in summer.

Long Lifespan

Thanks to the reinforcement layer and the water-repellent properties of the plaster, the facade is protected against cracks and moisture.

Maintenance Friendly

Dirt adheres more difficultly to the new finishing layer, and the dark plinth protects the most sensitive zone at the bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crepi Facades

What is the advantage of crepi with insulation over cavity wall insulation?

Exterior wall insulation finished with crepi completely wraps the house without thermal bridges, resulting in a much higher insulation efficiency. Moreover, you immediately get a completely new, fresh facade.

Does a light crepi facade require much maintenance?

The modern decorative plasters we use are vapor-permeable and water-repellent. As a result, rain washes away most of the dirt. The black plinth at the bottom protects the facade against splashing mud water, which reduces maintenance to a minimum.

Can crepi be placed over my existing brick wall?

Yes, in most cases we can apply the insulation boards and crepi directly to the existing masonry, provided the surface is stable and correctly prepared.
