Restoring old houses and historic buildings requires special care. Traditional heavy materials can overload weakened walls, damage structures, and compromise the authenticity of the facade. KORDEKO flexible stone offers a lightweight solution that allows you to insulate and renovate old facades without excessive load, while carefully preserving their architectural character.
Why traditional facade materials are risky for old buildings
Old houses often have limitations that modern buildings do not:
weakened or non-uniform wall structures
limited load-bearing capacity
aged masonry and mortar
restrictions on heavy facade systems
the need to preserve historical appearance
Using classic stone, clinker brick, or ventilated systems can lead to cracks, deformation, or even structural damage.
That is why lightweight facade cladding is the safest approach for restoration projects.
What makes KORDEKO flexible stone ideal for restoration
Flexible stone by KORDEKO, produced with PletaFlex technology, is specifically suited for renovation and restoration.
Key characteristics:
extremely low weight
flexible and elastic structure
realistic stone texture
compatibility with insulation systems
minimal impact on existing walls
It visually replicates natural stone while eliminating the risks associated with heavy materials.
Insulation and cladding without structural overload
KORDEKO flexible stone can be installed on a classic insulated facade system:
Existing wall (brick, stone, mixed masonry)
Adhesive layer
Insulation (EPS or mineral wool)
Reinforced layer with fiberglass mesh
Primer
Flexible stone cladding
❗ No metal substructures, anchors, or additional reinforcement are required.
This makes it possible to upgrade thermal performance without compromising structural safety.
Preserving the historic appearance of facades
One of the key challenges in restoration is visual authenticity.
KORDEKO collections allow:
color matching to old stone and masonry
selection of textures close to historical materials
