How We Work
Letoon Architecture’s Technical Secrets: A Holistic System Approach
In many projects, the first question is “Which product should we use?” At Letoon Architecture, we don’t start with that question. Because the issue is not just choosing the right product; it is a technical process that requires correctly reading the structure, the surface, and the root of the problem.
Our job is not to pick products from a catalog; it is to define the need, design the system, and guarantee the result.
1 Diagnosis and Surface Analysis
At Letoon, no project starts by suggesting standard products from a catalog at a desk. First, we read the surface and get to the root of the problem. Because a wrong diagnosis makes even the best product fail.
We Look at the Origin, Not Just What is Visible
- Efflorescence (Salting): Not just a stain, but a structural moisture movement.
- Moisture: Not just wetness, but a problem whose source (capillary, condensation, etc.) must be identified.
- Biological Growth: Not just cleaning, but eliminating the environment that allows regrowth.
- Past Interventions: Analysis of what incorrect materials the structure has been exposed to previously.
2 Developing Specific Technical Strategy
Letoon does not offer standard prescriptions. Every structure is different, so the solution must be “tailor-made.” After analysis, we design the integrated system best suited for that structure.
Surface Preparation and Cleaning
Letoon Architecture knows that the foundation of success in restoration and construction applications lies in proper surface preparation and cleaning. Every structure undergoes a detailed inspection based on material type and current condition; the appropriate cleaning method for natural stone, concrete, wood, or metal surfaces is meticulously selected. Mechanical cleaning, low-pressure washing, or eco-friendly chemical applications are used to remove dirt, algae, salts, and old paint residues without damage.
Repair and Protection
Letoon bases its interventions in restoration on the specific character of each structure. In local repairs, only damaged areas are strengthened to avoid unnecessary interventions; historical and aesthetic values are preserved. After repair, areas requiring protection versus coating are meticulously planned, and the selected system is designed not to hinder the structure’s ability to “breathe.”
Maintenance Scenario
Letoon Architecture plans not just for today, but for the future of the structure. Maintenance scenarios are created to maintain the long-term performance of applied systems; inspection intervals and potential necessary interventions are determined in advance. Thus, while preserving aesthetic and structural integrity, future costs are minimized.
3 Correct Technology and Production Power
For us, it’s not about the brand label. It’s about the right technology meeting the right surface. To achieve this, we use both the power of global giants and our own production experience.
Global Technology Partners
We integrate the world’s best protection technologies into your projects.
- KEIM: Inventor of silicate technology.
- EVONIK (Protectosil): World leader in building protection chemicals.
Our Own Brands: ECOTERA / BAUTERA
Our domestic and sustainable production power developed with 20 years of experience.
- Ecological and high-performance solutions.
- Not every surface handles standard products; project-specific production when necessary.
4 Application Responsibility and Follow-up
For us, the process doesn’t start when the offer is submitted; it truly begins when the application starts. We don’t just sell products and walk away, because even the right product applied incorrectly will fail.
Active Role in the Field
We provide technical guidance before application and personally inspect critical stages on-site. We audit the correctness of dosages, methods, and techniques.
Result Oriented
Our follow-up doesn’t end when the project is done and scaffolding is removed. We monitor the structure’s reaction to the new system and its performance, taking responsibility for the outcome.
