  • we treat problem areas with mold and fungus;
  • improve the microclimate in the room;



If the house has damp cold walls and mold has appeared on them, smudges in the corners on the wallpaper and walls, drafts are walking, the walls are freezing and heat is lost - it's time to insulate the house!

Can seams be sealed in winter?

Yes, you can. The main thing is that at the time of work there should be no wet snow ❅ or rain ☂ and precipitation ﻩ*ﻩ*

The cost of repairing seams for private customers

In order to avoid difficulties with recalculations, our company made a decision and “frozen” the prices for the services provided, and for May 2016 the prices remained the same as they were in 2017.

Repair price and

sealing of interpanel seams

Depends on the type of house and features of the building, on average, is

450 rub .

for the m. with all costs incl. material, work, coordination. We do not provide any additional costs for the customer and an increase in the cost! The minimum scope of work is not less than 30 meters.

The number of storeys does not affect the cost of work.

Approximate scope of work for panel buildings:

  • - 1st room apartment- minimum order - 30 running meters,
  • - 2-room apartment - 30 linear meters,
  • - 2-room, located in the end part of the house (corner) - from 45 to 79 to running meters, see the table for calculating running meters of seams .jpg
  • - 3-room ordinary - 45 linear meters,
  • - 3 rooms end - from 60 to 95 linear meters
  • Sealing of interpanel seams is carried out along the perimeter of the panel (top, bottom and side seams of the panel). For the last floor, another technical floor is added (since through the voids in the joints technical floor water flows into the interpanel seams of your apartment). For block buildings, the amount of work is about 30% more.

    If you know the type of house, then on the calculator, if you select the proposed parameters, you can accurately calculate the amount of work:

    Seam insulation and anti-mold treatment

    Insulation of joints is carried out using the "Warm joint" technology - this is when the insulation of the interpanel space is carried out through holes drilled at a distance of 15-20 cm through the "vilaterm" or a thin layer of plaster (for some series P-44T, P3-M, KOPE, I- 155, etc.)
    In the series (I-515/5 II-18/12 P II-68 1-515/9M, etc.), it is possible to fill the insulation only if the seam is opened. This is called 100% seam opening. The "Macroflex" insulation is filled into the seam, then the "Vilaterm" pipe is laid and finally the seam is sealed with mastic (sealant) "Oksiplast" or "Rustil".
    Composition processing "anti-mold" carried out if there is mold in the seam.

    Technology of work on sealing and insulation in detail:


    "Warm joint" is a modern, reliable and durable technology, therefore this method of repair (or primary sealing) of joints between slabs is one of the most relevant services of our company. The entire list of works is carried out mainly at height and in any weather, therefore, it requires not only special equipment and unprecedented security measures, but also remarkable qualifications from the working staff.
    Our company employs industrial climbers with extensive experience, and the main constituent criterion for the selection of personnel is (among other things) a high level of personal responsibility.

    The specialists of our company guarantee a full range of construction works for the implementation of the "Warm seam" technology. This set of works includes the following stages.
    1. Pre-insulation of the joints between the boards to protect against external precipitation. This stage applies to new buildings and houses that are just put into operation. The space between the panels is filled with foam under pressure and insulated with a special tube, which is "sunk" into the foam. Then everything is leveled with a solution and additionally opened with a special sealant. This sequence of actions guarantees the achievement of the maximum result in terms of waterproofness, thermal insulation and resistance to UV radiation.
    2. The second option concerns the reconstruction of seams in prefabricated houses as part of the overhaul of the facade. This service is a set of measures to restore the sealing and thermal insulation properties of the seams in accordance with the requirements for new buildings. Moreover, if the insulation is in a satisfactory condition, our craftsmen will insulate with a sealant from the outside, without violating the integrity of the old insulation.
    Our specialists offer a full range of repair and restoration work for waterproofing interpanel joints. Such a complex provides for certain technological stages, namely:
     cleaning the seam from the old insulation material (if there was any at all), removing leaky mortar or sealant;
     maximum possible degreasing of the seam;
     treatment of the seam with antifungal impregnation;
     washing the seam against mold;
     Arrangement of the seam according to the "Warm seam" technology.
    Based on the experience of our specialists, we strongly recommend not to resort to the help of craftsmen with a dubious reputation, as well as to those specialists who offer below market prices. As a rule, the results of their work appear in the first season. The seam allows moisture to pass through, dampness and fungus appear in the room, and warranty obligations are not fulfilled by such craftsmen (and are not always provided for).


    What technologies are used for insulation of interpanel joints?

    Seam sealing materials

    We use only high-quality materials and technologies to restore the tightness of joints with high weather resistance, water and air tightness. This allows you to achieve excellent results, even when performing work at sub-zero temperatures.

    Mastic color for all types of panel buildings, in most cases - white. We use it.

    At the service of clients - an integrated approach to objects

    If you ordered repair or insulation of seams, in the range of services, starting from the coordination of work in the necessary authorities, we also perform:
      • canopy sealing and sealing windows from the outside, in places inaccessible from the premises and during or after installation by window installers.
      • repair of balconies and roofs, repair of loggias and bay windows, window washing
      • Balcony roof repair and fabrication for the upper floors (balcony roof waterproofing),
    Balconies are sealed around the perimeter, more often these are upper ebbs. For windows - excess mounting foam is removed and covered from solar radiation with sunscreen mastic.

    Sealing of external seams

    Work guarantee

    The main thing is not the chosen technology for sealing the seams, but the quality of materials and the experience of specialists.

    IN winter time the forefront is the preservation of heat in apartments, offices and industrial premises. And the first solution that suggests itself is the sealing of interpanel seams in prefabricated houses, all kinds of joints of facade elements, the elimination of drafts and the elimination of leaks. How by-effect of the above malfunctions of the facades of buildings, roofs, walls, mold, fungus may appear, which is a direct threat to the building itself and the health of the person in it. The reasons for increased heat loss, increased humidity in the room can be very diverse, but there are some of the most common generalizations.

    Also, there are often mistakes made during the construction process. It should be added that these elements not only worsen the microclimate in the room, but can also become a source of rapid deterioration of the building due to the accumulation of dirt, moisture and other things in them. There is only one solution - sealing interpanel seams. This procedure may consist of several stages, be primary or secondary (this affects the range of work performed), and so on. In each case, an individual program is selected to solve problems with the isolation of the object.

    Sealing of interpanel seams - everything is solvable

    However, you shouldn't worry about this. If you notice the source of heat loss in time and eliminate it, then your house will again be warm and cozy. It will also serve you for decades. Professional sealing of interpanel seams in Moscow is best opportunity prepare your home for the winter frosts.

    Competently performed work reduces several times heat loss, prevents the accumulation of moisture, which can lead to the destruction of structures, the formation of mold and mildew. Our company, whose main specialization is industrial mountaineering in Moscow, is ready to offer you services for finishing seams and joints of panels, walls, roofs and other components of a residential building. We not only isolate weak areas of the structure, but also eliminate possible leaks. Thanks to an integrated approach, even the most non-standard issues are solved. If you are interested in high quality, coupled with affordable price for sealing interpanel seams, then "Alpinists" will help you.


    The procedure is carried out in stages:

    • Analysis of the problem area: joints, walls, panels;
    • Selection of insulating material (this can be mastic, polyurethane foam, vilaterm, or a combination thereof);
    • Cleaning the surface and voids: removing moisture, dirt, debris, degreasing the surface;
    • Application of compositions over the entire area, uniform distribution. If necessary, insulation is additionally carried out to seal the interpanel seams;
    • Removal of excess materials;
    • Sealing with special compounds.

    After drying, the insulating materials will fill the entire available free area, creating a powerful protection. This will not only prevent moisture from getting inside, but also significantly reduce the heat loss of a residential facility. If you are interested in the cost of sealing interpanel seams, then it depends on the amount of work and the materials used. You can specify the approximate amount from the employees of the company "Alpinists" by phone or in the office.

    Houses with a large number of apartments are a huge part of the total housing stock. Many of them are made according to panel technology. A similar construction option helped to provide at one time everyone who needed apartments with living space.

    But buildings of this type have disadvantages that it is desirable to eliminate. One of the shortcomings in the construction of panel high-rise buildings is poor-quality sealing of seams in a panel house between its constituent parts- panels.

    Sealing seams in a panel house is very important, because when the apartment is completely sealed, electricity consumption decreases, the microclimate in the home improves, mold and other similar troubles cease to bother the owner. To seal the seams in a panel and other house, it is worth using modern technologies. They will ensure reliability during further operation.

    When erecting new buildings, sealing joints was far from being in the first place. The priority was usually the speed of construction. For sealing, simple tow or glass wool was often used, sometimes builders used rubber sealing materials. Connection after installation of the material, sealed cement mortar, then he was simply tarnished.

    In the first few years, any house will shrink, albeit a small one. With a minimal shift of the panel parts relative to one another, a crack can be created in the joint that has been sealed until then, which will make the structure accessible to the penetration of cold and rain. A simple option for sealing the interpanel joint is in the same way as the builders.

    This type of sealing of interpanel seams, according to the proposed technology, is the simplest and does not require large financial investments. But there is no guarantee that the structure will not move another millimeter and that the crack will not form again.

    Therefore, it is worth familiarizing yourself with other sealing options, and choosing the most suitable for yourself. It is imperative to seal the seams in a panel house, because the normal condition of the premises depends on it.

    How to repair seams:

    • Cosmetic repairs outside. This type of sealing is the simplest. It can be used if there is no strong displacement of the seams, they are almost completely intact. The method is considered cheap, but the efficiency is low.
    • In the presence of small (up to 15%) defects in the coating, the technology of partial opening of the joint can be applied.
    • The best option, which is higher than others in terms of cost, is embedding using the “warm seam” technology.

    It is impossible to seal the apartment from the inside, no matter how well the work is done. The main work should be carried out from the street.

    If work is underway to insulate the apartment, seal the seams, it is worth doing work in the apartment itself, this will not be superfluous. The joints that will be opened are filled with insulating elements, after which they are filled with a solution. There will be only a slightly noticeable positive effect from such events, and there is no 100% guarantee that the apartment is reliably insulated.

    The situation will not change much. Sealing of interpanel seams and the technology for its implementation must be known to the people doing the work and strictly observed by them. In case of violations in work, there is a risk of improper execution, and all work will be down the drain.

    The seams must be insulated on both sides. There will be no significant improvements if the joints are sealed only inside the house, because it is necessary to make the connection of the plates closed along its entire length, and this cannot be done inside the dwelling.

    Liquid that got inside the seam two floors above can easily seep into the apartment and create many problems. Therefore, if possible, it is best to seal the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house by teaming up with neighbors, which will allow the work to be carried out successfully.

    Sometimes it is impossible to bring equipment to the house, lifting structures, which are designed to reduce financial costs during insulation, in order to cover up part of the connections. The cost of work can be different, the price will differ significantly if there is a need to call industrial climbers who seal at high altitudes.

    Cosmetic home repairs

    This type of repair is carried out without opening the connections. The sealing of interpanel seams does not increase significantly. It is considered the cheapest way to fix problems with seams. If we take into account the technology of work, the repair of interpanel joints should be carried out only in the case of an ideal connection of the plates outside the house.

    Sealing of any interpanel joints after such repair is not allowed. Seal interpanel seams - make the house much warmer.

    Before carrying out the insulation of interpanel seams, it is required to consider it for the presence of defects. After, if necessary (although, most often, it happens), the old mastic is removed with a spatula. If the cement lies normally, there are no cracks, chips, this type of finish can be performed. But in reality, a high-rise building with an ideal state of wall joints is very rare.

    Activities carried out with joints:

    • The joint is cleared of resin.
    • Cleaned, it must be treated with a soil solution with a deep penetrating effect. A fungicidal additive is added to such mixtures, designed to fill all voids.
    • If necessary, the joint is sealed with cement mortar in places where the integrity of the structure is violated. Insulation of seams in panel houses should be carried out with high quality, cement should be laid so that there are no gaps, because it depends further result all work.
    • After that it is covered with a water-repellent mixture (mastic). Many of its types are sold, there are one-, two-component solutions. Understanding the difference between mixtures will help you choose among many. Specialists prefer to work with two-component solutions, because the seams get a more reliable sealing of interpanel and other joints, marriage due to poor quality material does not happen here.

    The mixture is mixed with a mixer, all work is carried out in accordance with the instructions. The sealing of panel joints must always be carried out in such a way that the joint is slightly larger than the joint. To make the groove being sealed look better after the work is done, you can glue the joints masking tape removed after all work has been completed.

    Repair with partial opening of the suture connection

    Interpanel seams should be carefully examined to identify all existing defects. In case of visible violations of a part of the coating, the sealing of the slab connection must be carried out in the following sequence:

    • the first step is to remove the cement, which leaks closes the joints. It is removed all in places of poor fit. If it is necessary to remove only a certain piece, holes are drilled every 20-25 mm, which will then need to be closed;
    • in these holes it is necessary to fill in the mounting foam in an amount until it begins to come out of them. You can use a foam gun to increase the convenience of the work. Waterproofing of interpanel seams must be carried out with high quality, this should be monitored in order to prevent marriage;
    • after the mounting foam has completely solidified, you need to remove the part that protrudes beyond the edges of the building. The joint must be treated with a primer, and the places that have been opened and drilled holes need to plaster;
    • further in the seams, all joints are filled with mastic. The thermal insulation here is high, it will turn out to significantly save on heating.

    The need for the use of mounting foam is high, because only in this way it is possible to fill the voids between the slabs, which, undoubtedly, have had time to form there.

    Technology "Warm seam"

    The most high-quality and reliable way of sealing seams is considered to be work using this technology. The price of the work will differ from a simple cosmetic repair, and the total cost will depend on the length of the area to be embedded.

    The technology for repairing interpanel seams provides for the execution of work in the following order:

    • The joint in the plates is opened completely, along the entire length. The technology of sealing interpanel seams does not allow partial opening of the channel.
    • All pieces of old insulation must be removed.
    • If required, severely damaged parts of the panels must be repaired.
    • All surfaces must be primed. It is necessary to close up large seams in a panel house with high quality, avoiding errors.
    • The space must be filled with mounting foam, you should definitely remember about its properties - compaction and expansion. Do not forget that it is able to increase in size by 2 or even 3 times. Therefore, when the material has penetrated into the joint, it is worth filling it with about ¼ of the entire volume of the channel. After, if required, add a little composition until the seam is completely closed. Sealant will work only if there are no voids inside the joint.
    • After the beginning of the increase in foam in volume, a heater based on foamed polyethylene should be placed in the joint. This material will help the foam stay inside the seam and prevent it from crawling out of the channel. It will not fill the outer border, where it will then need to be cut off, but the inside of the seam, all the bends, voids. Special material is prepared for embedded areas.

    This sealant is usually found in the form of tubes empty inside, but material filled inside is also on sale. In size, it should be slightly, about 10% larger than the connection itself, but it must be installed with a spatula, slightly pressing into the putty - mounting foam. This product must not be damaged during work, so care must be taken. Joints must be sealed with mounting foam so that voids do not form. If this requirement is not met, all the work will be done in vain.

    • The sealing of interpanel and other seams must be carried out in a certain sequence. The outer border of the joint, the slab, must be flush with the material. To complete the sealing, it is necessary to apply the mastic in the sequence indicated in the paragraph above. The sealing of interpanel seams in panel houses, the technology of work and all the nuances must be observed. Otherwise, small inaccuracies will lead to a slow destruction of the connection.

    The use of technology will provide the owners with warmth. The materials are considered one of the best on sale today, the interpanel seam after their application will become waterproof, and this will make the dwelling inaccessible to the penetration of liquids. In addition, the wear resistance of the entire building increases, since it will not be destroyed from the inside. To seal the seams in any panel house reliably, this type of sealing is suitable.

    It is better to entrust the work to professionals. You can do it yourself in the area of ​​\u200b\u200b1 or 2 floors, setting up reliable loess to perform. On the floors above, it is wise to use the services of climbers. The technology for insulating interpanel seams provides for the elimination of all problems, and it is difficult for a person who has not encountered such work to carry out such activities.

    Sealing technology Warm seam - is one of the better ways insulation sealing joints and seams in panel houses. This technology is engaged in Assol LLC. They are professionals in their field, each of their work is of high quality and cheap. I recommend. You won't regret it!

    • VecherskiY Life 7 months ago

    This solution is very promising for the repair of seams in our time.

    For a long time, the technology of sealing joints in industrial and residential buildings left much to be desired.

    But after the “Warm seam” technology was developed, all the negative aspects of the non-tightness of the seams were eliminated. The principle of this technology is to use latest material which has elasticity. After all, the materials used earlier were rigid. They wear out under the influence of low temperatures. The peculiarity of the Vilaterm material is that when it gets into the seam, it fills the entire space tightly.

    The material will gradually dry out. And along the perimeter of the seam, small holes are made, where building foam is subsequently placed. Holes according to technology are placed at a certain distance from each other. Vilaterm in combination with building foam provides high-quality sealing.

    • Anthony Ph. 7 months ago

    if the seams in a panel house are leaking, then the procedure for sealing the interpanel seams, I think, is a mandatory procedure for all residents, given our difficult climate, in winter it can be very uncomfortable without this procedure. Sealing the seams on the outside will help keep the heat inside. And it is better to entrust such work to professionals.

    "Who should repair the interpanel seams in the house"

    Readers turn to us with requests to explain whose duties include repair work on sealing seams, how housing offices that do not want to “fork out” for the restoration of joints between the panels of the house can be legally held liable. We have chosen the most interesting questions, our experts will try to give a detailed answer to them. We are looking for answers to your letters and calls in a variety of instances - from housing authorities to various government agencies.

    How to force the UK to seal the interpanel seams?

    Question: Our entrance filed a collective application with the Criminal Code with a request,. Public utility workers measured the temperature of the seams using a special apparatus. As a result, only a few apartments did not meet the standard parameters, the rest of the living space, according to experts, does not need to repair the seams. That's just a flood from the rain threatens all residents of the entrance. Docking seams almost completely spilled out on outside walls, but only the Criminal Code does not particularly care. How can you legally force public utilities to start repairing seams.

    Answer: The current repair of the house necessarily includes the sealing of interpanel seams and has already been paid for by the monthly transfer of residents.

    On a legislative basis, you need to be guided by regulatory documents:

    4.2.3.1. Chapter

    Local destruction of sealing seals of joints of prefabricated buildings should be eliminated as they are detected, preventing them further development.

    Repairing the seams on the balcony - the responsibility of the tenant?

    Question: We turned to the Criminal Code with a statement about the restoration of the seams on the facade of the building in the balcony area. Received a refusal, with a note that the seams are adjacent to the balcony, which is private property. How legitimate are the actions of the housing office?

    Answer: There is no distinction in official documents for seams adjacent to the balcony and no. The outer side of the house is common house property, and therefore is subject to repair by the forces of the Criminal Code.

    The management company refused to repair the seams?
