Restoration of facade with stone finish

ULMA Architectural Solutions has carried out the design and manufacture of a special front facade for the restoration of a building on Secretari Coloma street in Barcelona.
The particular aspect of the piece is its finish in a special slate texture, combining aesthetics with innovation as in the line of prefabricated elements this type of piece had not been developed until now.

The owners' association that ordered the restoration of the façade wanted a different finish and the restoration company OBREIN proposed to ULMA the possibility of manufacturing the pieces with a slate finish. ULMA studied the possibility and developed the pieces especially for this project.

According to Jordi Gómez from Obrein, there has been full collaboration with ULMA’s technical and commercial department which, at all times, has been capable of getting round the setbacks that it has had to accomplish to create these new pieces. “We are particularly proud of this work as it is one of the most spectacular facades in the area and it has changed the appearance of the property, affording it a clear increase in its value to the benefit of its owners”, he states.
