Restoration & Refurbishment
Precise restoration without damaging the surface
Restoration & Refurbishment – Precise, Gentle on Materials and Efficient with Dry Ice Blasting
In the restoration and refurbishment sector, one thing matters above all else: working with precision without causing further damage. Whether dealing with fire residues, mould, flood damage or the gentle cleaning of historic surfaces – dry ice blasting offers a completely residue-free, dry and gentle method that reliably removes even stubborn dirt without damaging substrates.
With ASCOJET dry ice blasting systems, refurbishment companies, restorers and specialist firms gain a high-performance solution that combines efficiency, safety and maximum protection of materials.
Fire Damage Restoration – Targeted Removal of Soot, Smoke Deposits and Odours
After a fire, surfaces are often heavily contaminated with soot, charred residues and stubborn smoke deposits. Dry ice blasting enables the thorough removal of these contaminants without the use of water or chemical cleaners. The residue-free sublimation of the dry ice produces no secondary waste, whilst protecting sensitive materials such as wood, concrete and metal, as well as installations and cables.
Organic residues are completely removed, which also significantly reduces odours. Compared to mechanical methods such as grinding or sandblasting, the amount of post-treatment work required is considerably lower, enabling the efficient and gentle restoration of a wide variety of building structures, machinery, pipes and systems.
Mould Removal – Thorough, Dry & Chemical-Free
In the case of mould infestation, simply removing the surface layer is not enough, as spores and root structures must also be reliably eliminated. Dry ice blasting penetrates pores and fine gaps, effectively removing microbiological deposits without introducing additional moisture. This makes the process particularly suitable for moisture-sensitive materials and structures.
Surfaces are gently cleaned, whilst preparation and drying times are significantly reduced. Dry ice blasting enables efficient and sustainable mould remediation, particularly on wooden beams, OSB boards, masonry or screed, making it ideal for use in residential buildings, cellars, roof structures, as well as storage and utility rooms.
Historical Restoration – Controlled Cleaning for Valuable Surfaces
When restoring historic buildings, cultural heritage sites and classic cars, the preservation of sensitive materials is paramount. Dry ice blasting enables precise, easily controlled cleaning and is particularly suitable when dirt, old layers of paint or age-related deposits need to be removed in a targeted manner. Due to its non-abrasive nature compared to many conventional blasting methods, cleaning work can be carried out with reduced material removal – depending on the substrate, nozzle, pressure and amount of blasting agent.
This means that half-timbered structures and ornamentation can be treated just as effectively as stone, marble, metal or historic façade elements. With classic cars, too, the underbody, engine compartment, bodywork and interior can be cleaned in a targeted manner to remove deposits such as soot, wax or aged coatings in a controlled way, thereby laying the groundwork for further restoration steps.
Advantages of Dry Ice Blasting in the Renovation and Restoration Sector
The use of dry ice blasting offers numerous advantages over conventional cleaning methods:
Residue-free cleaning
No water, no chemicals, no secondary waste
Non-abrasive
Protects surfaces, equipment and delicate items
Dry cleaning without moisture
As no moisture is introduced, dry ice blasting is particularly suitable for wood, masonry and moisture-sensitive building materials.
Quick and efficient
Dry ice blasting enables targeted cleaning and significantly reduces the frequency of maintenance and cleaning.
Environmentally friendly and safe
No solvents, no waste water, no additional disposal costs
Versatile
For metal, plastic, rubber, glass, wood, paint and many other materials
ASCO Dry Ice Blasting Systems
ASCOJET dry ice blasting machines combine precise blasting performance with efficient technology, enabling particularly gentle yet powerful cleaning of both sensitive and robust surfaces. The ergonomic and mobile design facilitates on-site use – ideal for demanding refurbishment work where flexibility and rapid responsiveness are crucial. ASCOJET machines are designed for industrial use in demanding environments and are characterised by robust construction and reliable operation under real-world industrial conditions.
In-House Dry Ice Production – Maximum Independence for Restoration Companies
Restoration companies benefit particularly from a fresh supply of dry ice that is available at all times, as blasting performance increases significantly the fresher the dry ice is. With their own production solution, companies remain flexible, independent and ready for action at all times – a decisive advantage for frequent, short-notice or large-scale restoration projects.
By producing their own dry ice, restoration companies reduce delivery costs, dependencies, waiting times and performance loss due to aged dry ice – thereby creating the ideal foundation for efficient, high-quality restoration and renovation work.
Efficient Restoration, Precise Results, Maximum Protection of Materials
Whether it’s fire damage, mould, flooding or restoration in line with heritage conservation standards – dry ice blasting delivers fast, clean and safe results. With ASCOJET blasting systems and in-house dry ice production, renovation and restoration companies achieve maximum efficiency, flexibility and quality.
