Project Case: Facade Retrofit of an Enterprise Office Building in Indonesia

Project Profile

  • Location: Indonesia
  • Application Area: Enterprise Office Building Facade
  • Project Area: 12,500 ㎡
  • Product: Red Travertine Finish Flexible Stone
  • Core Challenge: Built in the 1970s, the building is relatively old with cracked and aging walls, and the facade suffers from extremely severe water leakage. Traditional renovation requires waterproofing first, followed by decorative layers. This process is cumbersome and highly prone to secondary leakage due to interlayer peeling.
  • Our Countermeasure: Specifically developed a waterproof specialized Flexible Stone adhesive, breaking traditional procedures to achieve “waterproofing and facade decoration in one step”.

Background & Challenges

Indonesia is located near the equator with high temperatures and abundant rain year-round. This enterprise office building was built in the 1970s. After half a century of weathering, the exterior walls have shown obvious cracks and aging. The biggest headache for the property management and owners is the severe facade water leakage. During the rainy season, rainwater seeps indoors through wall cracks, damaging interior decorations and the office environment.

When formulating the renovation plan, traditional methods encountered great resistance:

  1. Cumbersome Processes and Long Duration: The traditional method requires thoroughly cleaning the exterior wall, applying thick waterproof coatings, and waiting for it to dry before applying the facade decoration. For an office building in active use, this means an extremely long construction period.
  2. Poor System Compatibility: The traditional multi-layer structure of “waterproof layer + adhesive + decorative layer” often suffers from interlayer hollowing and peeling due to poor material compatibility after exposure to sun and rain. This leads to waterproofing failure and a “resurgence” of the leakage problem.

The Solution: Waterproof Adhesive for a “2-in-1” System

Facing the stubborn leakage disease of old buildings, Guangdong Fortune Stone New Material Co., Ltd. decided to start from the root of the system—the adhesive layer—and provided a subversive renovation solution:

  1. Developed Waterproof Specialized Adhesive: Our technical team specifically targeted the rainy climate of Southeast Asia and old substrates to develop a waterproof specialized Flexible Stone adhesive with excellent flexibility and extremely high density. It not only has strong adhesion but also forms a seamless waterproof barrier on the substrate surface.
  2. Waterproofing and Decoration in One Step: Using this adhesive for the thin-bed application of Flexible Stone completely eliminates the cumbersome process of making a separate waterproof layer in traditional crafts. Bonding and waterproofing are completed simultaneously, which not only reduces labor costs and cuts the project duration in half but also avoids the hidden danger of delamination caused by the incompatibility of multi-layer structures.
  3. Premium Texture of Red Travertine: Paired with the customized red travertine texture Flexible Stone, it not only endows the old office building with a solemn and grand corporate image, but its superior breathability also allows moisture inside the wall to escape smoothly, completely bidding farewell to the stubborn issues of efflorescence and mold on the exterior wall.

Why Flexible Stone? Four Hardcore Data Points

  • ✓ Ultra-Lightweight: Areal density of just 3.96kg/㎡. The structural load-bearing capacity of 1970s old buildings is limited. The ultra-lightweight Flexible Stone system requires no expensive structural reinforcement, and can be directly over-clad safely and reliably.
  • ✓ Extreme Flexibility: Perfectly passes the 200mm diameter cylinder bending test. It perfectly adapts to the deformation of old walls caused by thermal expansion, contraction, and minor settlement, without cracking along with the substrate.
  • ✓ SGS Class A2 Fireproof: Achieves the SGS certified A2-s1, d0 non-combustible standard, meeting the stringent fire safety requirements of densely populated office buildings.
  • ✓ Highly Durable: Boasts 1500-hour artificial weathering resistance. Facing Indonesia’s intense UV and high-temperature, high-humidity climate, it maintains the vibrant texture of red travertine over the long term without fading or chalking.

Project Outcome

The project was ultimately delivered with extremely high efficiency. The water leakage problem that had plagued the building for years was completely cured, and the old building was rejuvenated with a brand-new look, exuding a modern corporate identity.

The general contractor commented: “Fortune Stone’s waterproof adhesive solution is simply great. Originally, we thought it would take months to do the waterproofing first and then apply the exterior wall, but their ‘2-in-1’ process directly cut the construction period in half. After the test of several rainy seasons, the interior of the building has never leaked again. The boss is very satisfied.”
