Over-Cladding: Renovate Old Tile Walls Without Demolition

Over-Cladding: Renovate Old Tile Walls Without Demolition

Save up to 40% on Removal & Disposal Costs

In the retrofit of old residential communities or commercial buildings, the hollowing and peeling of exterior tiles are like a sword hanging overhead. However, traditional renovation solutions require completely removing the old tiles down to the substrate—this not only means high labor costs and massive construction waste disposal fees but is also accompanied by deafening noise and billowing dust, highly likely to cause work stoppages and complaints.

Is there a solution that can thoroughly eliminate safety hazards while saving this massive “demolition fee”?

Backed by core invention patents and authoritative SGS testing, the Flexible Stone system from Guangdong Fortune Stone New Material Co., Ltd. provides the perfect answer: No demolition, direct over-cladding.

1. Do the Economic Math: What You Save is What You Earn

The traditional “demolition + leveling + new tiles” solution usually accounts for 30%-40% of the total project cost in removal and disposal fees.

  • Direct Cost Elimination: Adopting the Flexible Stone thin-bed over-cladding system requires no heavy pneumatic chisels to remove old tiles, directly saving enormous demolition labor costs, waste hauling fees, and muck disposal costs.
  • Hidden Benefits of Shortened Schedules: It eliminates the long curing period for wall removal and re-plastering. Construction efficiency reaches up to 30-50㎡/person·day, cutting the project duration by more than half, which means a significant reduction in scaffolding rental and project management fees.

2. Core Technology: Why Won’t It Fall Off Over Old Tiles?

The biggest risk of not removing the wall is that “the old tiles are already unstable, and the new ones will fall along with them.” Fortune Stone solves this problem from the fundamentals of interface mechanics:

  • Patented Interface Deadlock: Relying on the “Non-Migratory Flexible Stone Emulsion Based on Reactive Emulsifier” patent (Application No.: CN202610057003.1), emulsifier molecules are bonded to polymer particles via covalent bonds, completely eliminating interface weakening caused by small-molecule migration.
  • Guaranteed Bond Strength: Combined with a specialized primer, the system achieves a stable bond strength of ≥0.4MPa on old tile surfaces, far exceeding the JGJ 110 standard, effectively “welding” the Flexible Stone to the old tiles.
  • Ultra-Light Load Reduction: SGS actual testing shows a weight of only 3.96 kg/m². Flexible Stone weighs only 1/10 of traditional tiles. Over-cladding on old tiles adds almost no structural burden, completely eliminating the load hidden dangers of secondary peeling.

3. Safety & Compliance: No “Sick Walls” in Retrofits

  • Pre-Diagnosis: We provide strict “Four Substrate Checks” (checking hollowing, strength, flatness, and contamination). For areas with excessive local hollowing rates (>20%), local repairs are performed, while the remaining intact areas are directly over-clad, scientifically avoiding risks.
  • Class A2 Fire Resistance: SGS certified A2-s1, d0 fire resistance, meeting the fire acceptance requirements for high-rise buildings.
  • Zero Dust: Adopting the Specialized Cutting Device for Flexible Stone patent (Application No.: CN202511837739.2) to achieve dust-free cutting, protecting the health of the community and construction workers.

4. Revitalizing Assets: “Non-Stop” Renewal for Commercial and Residential Spaces

Whether it’s an old residential community or a commercial complex, over-cladding can minimize disruption to the absolute lowest.

  • No heavy machinery on site, no harsh noise, and no construction waste taking up space. Residents don’t need to move out, and businesses don’t need to close, achieving a true “silent renewal.”
