Historical buildings are not only architectural treasures that carry traces of the past to the present but also unique structures that shed light on engineering history through their complex structural systems.
However, these valuable heritage assets may weaken structurally over time due to natural disasters, material fatigue, and environmental factors.

In such cases, modern Reinforcement methods are needed, with priority given to solutions that do not harm the historical fabric.

CARBOFİX carbon fiber Reinforcement systems provide ideal solutions that combine high technology with traditional architecture at this critical point.

Key Advantages of Carbon Fiber Reinforcement

• High tensile strength and low weight
• Compatibility with traditional materials such as stone, brick, and wood
• Thin-section applications that prevent aesthetic disruption
• Long-lasting and recyclable solution

CARBOFİX systems combine these advantages with high-quality carbon fabrics and special resin formulations to provide both safety and sensitivity in historical buildings.

Why Use Carbon Fiber in Historical Buildings?

Reinforcement methods using traditional techniques (such as reinforced concrete jacketing, steel plates, etc.) often risk damaging the architectural identity of historical buildings.

In contrast, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) systems:

• Require no visual intervention,
• Do not add extra load to the structural system,
• Minimize application time.

CARBOFİX branded carbon mesh and fabrics are specially developed to comply with both engineering criteria and preservation board principles in this field.

Reinforcement Application Areas with CARBOFİX

1. Stone and Brick Walls

CARBOFİX carbon fiber grids prevent crack propagation and increase wall stiffness by providing horizontal and diagonal reinforcements in masonry wall systems.

2. Vault and Dome Systems

Thanks to the high flexibility of CARBOFİX fabrics, excellent adhesion is achieved on curved surfaces. While stabilizing vault cracks, the original form is preserved.

3. Arches and Buttress Elements

Arches, columns, and supporting structures are strengthened using wrapping techniques, making them resistant to earthquakes and lateral loads.

4. Wooden Load-Bearing Systems

CARBOFİX systems can be applied to wooden elements using low-viscosity epoxy without causing damage. This method is especially effective in historical buildings and statley homes.

Preservation, Respect, and Technology Together

Reinforcement of historical buildings is not only an engineering challenge but also a matter of preservation ethics. CARBOFİX is developed within this ethical framework to ensure that while historical values are preserved, safe structures are also created from an engineering perspective.

With its lightness, high performance, and applicability, CARBOFİX represents the modern approach to conservation in historical buildings.
We offer the carbon fabric systems developed under the CARBOFİX brand with customized solutions for historical buildings in many countries, especially across Europe.

We are pleased to contribute to your preservation projects with academic collaborations, specialized project support, and on-site technical consultancy services.
