le nostre radici

Care UP is the after-sales service platform developed by Gualini SpA, dedicated to the advanced management of complex façades and building envelopes.

A structured model designed to support buildings throughout their entire life cycle — from technical diagnostics to scheduled maintenance, up to refurbishment and decarbonisation strategies.

Designed for asset owners, developers, general contractors and property managers, Gualini Care UP transformsafter-sales service into a strategic tool for protecting and enhancing real estate investments.

After-sales services for façades: why they are strategic

Modern façades are no longer simple architectural elements,but high-performance technological systems, exposed over time to environmental, regulatory and functional stresses.

Without structured management, the risk is a progressive loss of performance, an increase in extraordinary maintenance costs and a direct impact on the value of the asset.

After-sales services for building envelopes make it possible to:
- preserve design performance over time
- reduce operational and maintenance risks
- plan interventions in advance, avoiding emergency works
- extend the service life of façade systems
- maintain the building’s aesthetic quality at ahigh level

A single partner for façade management

Gualini Care UP is born from Gualini’s direct experience in the design, construction and management of complex façades.

This expertise allows every phase to be approached with an integrated vision, where analysis, maintenance, cleaning, extraordinary interventions and sustainability are all part of a single, coherent process.

An approach that ensures technical continuity, clear accountability, and effective long-term management of the building envelope.

Check UP

Technical analysis of the building envelope

The Check UP service forms the foundation of any effective façade management strategy.

Through a comprehensive technical analysis, Gualini assesses the condition of the building envelope and its actual operational performance.The activity includes verifying weather proofing, analyzing thermal and acoustic performance, identifying signs of degradation, and evaluating potential critical issues.

Check UP also supports decisions regarding refurbishment, retrofit, or performance enhancement, providing technical and regulatory consultancy to designers and asset managers.

Keep UP

Scheduled façade maintenance

Scheduled façade maintenance is a key element to ensure performance continuity and cost control.

With Keep UP, Gualini develops tailored routine maintenance plans for façades, roofs and window systems, calibrated to the environmental context and the specific characteristics of the installed systems.

Through preventive interventions and continuous monitoring, potential issues can be detected early, component lifespan extended, and the need for unscheduled extraordinary maintenance minimized.

Clean UP

Professional façade cleaning

Façade cleaning is an integral part of building envelope maintenance.

The Clean UP service provides specialized cleaning interventions designed to preserve materials, finishes, and performance overtime.

Gualini employs advanced techniques, including rope-access operators, drone systems for inaccessible areas, and specialized treatments for complex surfaces, ensuring operational safety and long-lasting results.

Call UP

Emergency response and extraordinary maintenance

Weather events, accidental impacts, or sudden degradation can compromise the functionality and safety of a façade.

‍Call UP is the emergency response service for façades and window systems, designed to react quickly to critical situations.

The service includes technical diagnostics, repair or replacement of damaged components, interventions on sensitive window systems (US doors, smoke outlets), resolution of water infiltration issues, and post-event safety measures.

Cycle UP

Decarbonisation and material reuse

Building envelope management is increasingly linked to sustainability and decarbonisation goals.

With Cycle UP, Gualini supports the recovery and reuse of materials from façade demolition or replacement works.

Materials are reintroduced into production processes, reducing environmental impact and contributing directly to the ESG objectives of developers and real estate investors.

Shield UP

Advanced façade protection

Shield UP is the façade protection service using e‑coating treatments based on nanotechnology and photocatalytic processes.

These treatments reduce pollutant deposition, promote self-cleaning of surfaces, and enhance the durability of the building envelope.

The result is a better-protected façade, cleaner over time, with reduced long-term maintenance costs.
