When air does not circulate sufficiently within the structure, moisture does not escape as intended, which can result in widespread structural problems. <\/p><p>When moisture remains trapped in the structure, Finland\u2019s fluctuating conditions exacerbate the problem. Water freezes and thaws repeatedly, which <b>puts stress on the entire brick, causing deterioration, cracks, and surface spalling.<\/b> Falling pieces of brick pose a safety risk to building occupants and passersby. <\/p><p>Insulation that remains damp has a significant impact on its insulating performance.  <b>Even 5% moisture in mineral insulation can reduce its effectiveness by up to 50%.<\/b>  In addition, damp insulation fosters microbial growth, which in the worst-case scenario can lead to moisture and water penetrating as far as the interior structures, causing mold damage, for example, and thereby compromising the safety of the building. In such cases, the need for repairs is no longer limited to the appearance of the facade, but extends to the building\u2019s technical functionality, comfort of use, and long-term durability. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28d5783 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"28d5783\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:3,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;4:3&quot;,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/brix.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Photo-02-11-2018-11.29.42-1-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"28d5783\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Photo 02-11-2018, 11.29.42 (1)\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTQ4OTMsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9icml4LmZpXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI2XC8wNFwvUGhvdG8tMDItMTEtMjAxOC0xMS4yOS40Mi0xLXNjYWxlZC5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiIyOGQ1NzgzIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/brix.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Photo-02-11-2018-11.29.42-1-1024x827.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" data-height=\"646\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/brix.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_7261-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"28d5783\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"IMG_7261\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTQ4OTksInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9icml4LmZpXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI2XC8wNFwvSU1HXzcyNjEtc2NhbGVkLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6IjI4ZDU3ODMifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/brix.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_7261-1024x768.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" data-height=\"600\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/brix.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Photo-10.3.2023-9.46.55-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"28d5783\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Photo 10.3.2023, 9.46.55\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTQ4OTcsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9icml4LmZpXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI2XC8wNFwvUGhvdG8tMTAuMy4yMDIzLTkuNDYuNTUtc2NhbGVkLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6IjI4ZDU3ODMifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/brix.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Photo-10.3.2023-9.46.55-768x1024.jpg\" data-width=\"768\" data-height=\"1024\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f5ddac elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6f5ddac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How can problems with old brick cladding be solved?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da34b54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"da34b54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A viable solution isn\u2019t achieved simply by replacing individual bricks; rather, it is essential to choose a repair solution that addresses the structural causes that originally led to the problems. One of the most important features of BRIX brick cladding is its ventilation, which ensures a healthy facade for decades. <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, thanks to its slim profile, the building\u2019s energy efficiency can be significantly improved, as up to twice as much insulation can be added to the facade. This adds value to the renovation, as the project not only improves the building\u2019s appearance but also its technical performance. This results in a durable and long-lasting facade with minimal lifecycle costs while preserving the original architecture.  <\/p><p>Watch this video about problems with old brick walls and how to fix them:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e42724 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"8e42724\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/VY7l2_RvoKE&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46b3e6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"46b3e6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Quick installation reduces construction time<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7508a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d7508a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Another advantage of BRIX in facade renovation is the speed of installation.
