Historical Preservation is an endeavor that seeks to preserve, conserve, & protect buildings of historical signifigance. STRUTTURA is dedicated to preserving the integrity & history of buildings, murals, frescoes, interiors & exteriors that have been damaged over time by the elements or human negligence. Some of the most advanced products developed for these endeavors are used by STRUTTURA artisans to reach the desired goals of restoration.
GRAFFITI REMOVER
Graffiti can be removed by applying the Graffiti Remover, allowing the affected surface to be covered with plastic wrap until the Graffiti Remover weakens the offensive solvent markers & enamel paints. Then, using pressurized hot water & brushes to gently remove the damages caused by vandals, the original historical or mineral surface is restored. Synthetic paints, latex, or other non-permanent painted surfaces can be affected or removed in the process of cleaning the building surfaces. Original stone & mineral surfaces, such as brick & concrete, will not be affected by Graffiti Remover.
In a historical first, San Marco using their scientists & material experts, collaborating with world renown restoration experts with the City of Venice & the Superintendent for Historical Monuments, created a restoration & protection system that was Eco friendly & could be used anywhere in the world to protect Unesco World Heritage Sites & Buildings.
San Marco funded the prestigious restoration project to clean graffiti & protect the colonnades from future graffiti in Piazza San Marco, opposite the Basillica dedicated to the patron saint of Venezia, known throughout the world.

ISOGRAFF ANTI-GRAFFITI PROTECTION
ECO Compatible - provides for the removal of graffiti & a subsequent protective treatment, not altering the historical patinas & age of architectural buildings & monuments.
Provides for the treatment against graffiti, smog deposits, reduces water absorption, & dirt buildup, does not alter the breathability of the surfaces, & facilitates graffiti removal by the simple use of hot steam.
In 2007 alone, the EEC estimated the damages to historical buildings in Europe by graffiti artists & vandals was in the upward costs of 10 Billion Euros. Removing solvent markers & paints from buildings that do not have anti-graffiti protection is a very costly business that involves experts in restoration to minimize the damages to building surfaces by using solvents & cleaners that do not damage exterior surfaces. Often times, offensive wall writings are simply painted over and cause further damage to important structures & complicates restoration.
STRUTTURA offers city governments, states, the Federal Goverment, & property owners an inexpensive alternative to protect buildings & monuments against graffiti & smog with an invisible protective coat of Isograff that is non-caustic, Eco compatible, & rinses off with hot steam water.
