Renovating existing facades
Your building
After the upgrade
Facade renovation for aging buildings, envelope upgrades, and Tama 38 urban renewal. Dramatic visual transformation, improved thermal insulation, no resident displacement.
New cladding on an existing building. Without moving anyone out.
A building from 20 or 30 years ago typically looks tired. It also feels that way: hot in summer, cold in winter, with property values stuck. At DAR GROUP we take that building and give it a new envelope. A cladding system installed over the existing wall, that upgrades the look, improves thermal performance, and lifts property value. Residents continue to live in the building. Life goes on.
What you get
The value we deliver
- 01
Dramatic visual transformation
An aging building that gets a modern facade. From "old building" to "premium building". The visual leap is dramatic, and property value follows.
- 02
Significant thermal improvement
A rear-ventilated facade with an insulation layer beneath the cladding. Major reduction in cooling loads, ongoing savings on electricity for every resident.
- 03
No resident displacement
All work is done from the outside, on scaffolding. Residents continue to live, sleep, work and cook in their apartments. No major disruption to daily life.
- 04
Coordinated with Tama 38 projects
Natural integration with structural reinforcement projects. We work alongside Tama 38 contractors and developers in fully coordinated schedules.

Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us
How long does a building facade renovation take?
It depends on the size of the building and the complexity of the facade. A standard apartment building typically takes two to four months from scaffolding through handover. The exact timeline is in the contract.
Do residents need to be relocated?
No. All work is performed from outside the building. Residents continue to live, work, and function normally. There may be some noise during work hours, but no major disruption to daily life.
Who pays - the developer or the residents board?
It depends on the project. In Tama 38 projects the developer carries the cost. In a renovation initiated by the residents board, costs are divided among residents based on apartment size.
What electricity savings can we expect?
Quality thermal insulation reduces cooling costs by roughly 20% to 30% on average. It depends on building orientation, local climate, and resident usage. Savings appear on the monthly bill.
Does this work with a Tama 38 project?
Absolutely. We work with Tama 38 contractors across Israel and integrate the facade renewal with the structural reinforcement and additions. Full coordination of schedules and costs.
