PREFABRICATED FACADE PANELS FOR RENOVATION
Design, engineering and manufacturing
Energy-efficient facade solutions for apartment buildings and public property renovation.
CMB Prefab designs and manufactures prefabricated facade panels that accelerate refurbishment, reduce heating costs and improve building performance.
What are prefabricated facade panels for renovation?
Prefabricated facade panels are an industrial solution for building renovation, combining thermal insulation and facade renewal into a single factory-built system. The panels are designed to fit existing buildings and are installed directly onto external walls, creating a new, energy-efficient building envelope with minimal on-site disruption.
Prefabricated facade panels
Prefabricated facade panels are factory-made elements designed to match the exact dimensions and technical requirements of existing buildings. Each panel integrates a structural timber frame, thermal insulation, weather protection and a ventilated facade with a finished cladding layer, forming the building’s new exterior. During the manufacturing process, windows and doors are integrated into the panels, ensuring high installation precision and significantly reducing on-site assembly time.
Durable facade renovation solution
Prefabricated facade panels are designed for long-term performance and durability. They provide strong resistance to weather conditions and mechanical impact, reducing maintenance needs and ensuring a long service life for renovated apartment and public buildings.
Design and Engineering
Each project begins with 3D building measurement and design, which allows for the precise adaptation of the panel solution to the specific building. Based on the developed design, the panels are manufactured in a factory under controlled conditions, where the majority of the work is completed before the panels even arrive at the site. This ensures consistent quality and a predictable result.
On-site Assembly
The finished panels are delivered to the site and mounted onto the building’s facade using lifting equipment. No scaffolding is required on-site, which significantly reduces the duration of the work and avoids inconveniencing the residents. Additionally, the building’s foundations and roof are insulated separately, thereby fully improving the building’s thermal performance. These tasks are performed independently of the facade renovation, and together they form a complete energy efficiency improvement solution.
Energy Efficiency and Comfort
Timber frame panels allow for the integration of effective thermal insulation materials and ensure fewer thermal bridges compared to traditional plaster systems. This directly helps reduce heating costs and improves the indoor microclimate, creating a more comfortable living environment for the building’s residents.
Sustainability
As the primary structural material, wood is a renewable resource that reduces the environmental impact of construction. This solution meets modern sustainability requirements and climate goals.
Design and engineering for renovation projects
Each renovation project starts with 3D building measurement and digital design, allowing prefabricated facade panels to be accurately adapted to the existing structure. Panels are manufactured in a controlled factory environment, where most of the work is completed before delivery, ensuring consistent quality and predictable renovation results.
Fast on-site installation without scaffolding
Prefabricated facade panels are delivered to site and installed using cranes or lifting equipment directly onto the existing facade. The installation process does not require scaffolding, significantly shortening renovation time and minimizing disruption for building occupants.
Energy efficiency and indoor comfort
Prefabricated facade panels integrate high-performance thermal insulation and reduce thermal bridges compared to traditional insulation systems. This improves the building’s energy efficiency, lowers heating costs and creates a more stable and comfortable indoor climate for residents.
Sustainable renovation with timber-based systems
Wood is a renewable construction material that helps reduce the environmental impact of building renovation. Prefabricated facade panels support modern sustainability standards and climate goals while enabling energy-efficient and responsible refurbishment of existing buildings.
Paneļi tiek piestiprināti pie esošās konstrukcijas, veidojot jaunu, energoefektīvu “apvalku” ap ēku. Šī pieeja ļauj atjaunot ēkas fasādi dažu nedēļu laikā, neizmantojot sastatnes un būtiski netraucējot iedzīvotājiem.
Papildus tam atsevišķi tiek siltināti ēkas pamati un jumts, tādējādi pilnībā uzlabojot ēkas siltumnoturību. Šos darbus veic atsevišķi no fasādes renovācijas, taču kopā tie veido pilnvērtīgu energoefektivitātes uzlabošanas risinājumu
Šī metode tiek dēvēta par rūpniecisko jeb industriālo renovāciju, jo lielākā daļa darbu tiek paveikta rūpnīcas kontrolētos apstākļos, un uz objektu tiek nogādāti gatavi, kvalitatīvi elementi, kurus uzstāda dažu dienu laikā
ADVANTAGES OF PREFABRICATED PANELS
A modern approach to building facade renovation and insulation, achieving energy efficiency, durability, and a contemporary appearance for the building.
Significant reduction in heating costs
An energy-efficient facade system with integrated thermal insulation reduces heat loss and significantly lowers heating costs. An investment that pays off within the first years after renovation, while simultaneously improving the building’s overall energy efficiency.
Minimal disruption to residents
Factory-made panels allow renovation to be completed up to 50% faster than traditional methods. Work is carried out without scaffolding, windows are not obstructed, and residents can remain in their apartments throughout the entire process. Assembly is precise, clean, and safe — the building is renovated within a few weeks.
Increase in property value
A renovated building with a modern facade, improved energy efficiency ratings, and an enhanced aesthetic appearance significantly increases the property’s market value and its attractiveness to potential buyers and tenants.
Aesthetics and architectural freedom
Wide range of facade finishes and color options—from classic to modern—allow for preserving the building’s character or completely renewing its visual image.
Quality and precision
The factory production process ensures high precision, consistent quality, and strict production control. This means a long-term solution with a predictable result and high operational safety.
Sustainability
Wood is a renewable and CO 2-sequestering material that reduces the ecological footprint of construction while promoting energy-efficient and environmentally friendly building renovation.
HOW FACADE RENOVATION WITH PREFABRICATED PANELS WORKS
The result – a building with a new, energy-efficient, and aesthetic facade in just a few months!
3D scanning and design
The building is scanned to create a precise 3D digital model and to prepare drawings for the panels.
Factory production
Timber panels with integrated insulation, windows, ventilation systems, and finishes are manufactured at the CMB Prefab factory.
Installation at the site
Panels are installed using a crane or a lift, ensuring fast and safe assembly without scaffolding.
Finishes and connections
Joints are sealed, old windows are removed, and interior finishing and ventilation balancing are performed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the solution suitable for apartment buildings from the 1980s?
Yes, this system is particularly suitable for the renovation of existing buildings. The panel solution is designed individually for each building, taking into account its technical condition, geometry, and structures.
How long do the insulation and renovation works take?
Most of the work is completed before the panels arrive at the site, so on-site installation is relatively fast. Depending on the size of the building, facade works usually take several weeks rather than months.
Can residents continue to live in the building during renovation?
Yes, residents can remain in their apartments. Since no scaffolding is required and on-site works are short-term, daily inconveniences are minimal.
What is the main benefit compared to traditional facade insulation?
The main advantage is quality and speed. Industrially manufactured panels ensure precise installation, fewer thermal bridges, and a more durable facade solution with a finished surface.
Does this solution help reduce heating costs?
Yes, thanks to effective thermal insulation and better airtightness of the structures, the building’s thermal resistance improves significantly. This allows for a reduction in heating consumption and improves indoor comfort.
