Preserve History with Precision: Laser Cleaning for Cultural Heritage

For centuries, monument conservation has been a challenging endeavor, often relying on methods that posed risks to the integrity of these irreplaceable structures. Traditional cleaning techniques such as sandblasting and the use of chemicals could inadvertently damage surfaces or introduce harmful substances. Fortunately, the field of monument restoration has undergone a revolution with the introduction of laser cleaning technology.

BlueStream Laser: Precision and Efficiency in Cultural Heritage Restoration

The BlueStream Laser team has specialized in laser-based conservation and restoration of monuments since 2019. This innovative technology offers a safe, effective, and gentle solution for cleaning both large facades and delicate artworks. Originally only intended for cleaning smaller objects like sculptures, advancements in laser technology have paved the way for efficient and cost-effective cleaning solutions for large monuments and extensive facades. Today, laser cleaning of entire facades is not only possible but also a cost-effective solution compared to traditional methods, often significantly reducing total project costs. Our advanced laser cleaning machines offer a revolutionary approach to cultural heritage conservation.

Award-Winning Technology, Recognized Quality

Our laser cleaning machines are built in Europe with top European components and have won the prestigious ERIC Award in Krakow in both 2020 and 2022. This award is presented by the European Federation of Building and Construction for the best initiative in cultural heritage conservation. We are proud that our machines have been recognized for their contribution to preserving Europe's rich history.

Safe and Sustainable Cleaning with Laser

We ensure safe, environmentally friendly, and effective cleaning of a wide range of historical materials. Our technology gently removes dirt, grime, and pollutants, protecting the authenticity of cultural artifacts for future generations.

Benefits of Laser Cleaning:

• Precision: Laser cleaners remove only unwanted dirt and grime with high precision, without damaging the underlying surface of the artwork. This is in contrast to sandblasting and chemicals that can cause scratches and erosion of the surface.
• Gentleness: This non-abrasive cleaning method eliminates the risk of surface deterioration.
• Effectiveness: Laser cleaning can often be completed twice as fast compared to traditional methods, saving time and costs.
• Cultural Heritage Preservation: Precise removal of contamination with laser preserves the authenticity of the material.
• No Microscopic Scratches: Laser-based cleaning prevents surface erosion unlike sandblasting.
• Removal of Complex Contaminants: Laser cleaning technology removes a wide range of pollutants, including soot, algae, mold, and graffiti, without the use of harsh chemicals. This is beneficial for both the surface and the environment.
• Preserving and Revealing Details: Our laser cleaning machines reveal fine details and textures that may have been hidden under layers of dirt and grime. This is important for restoring the original beauty of artworks.
• Sustainability: Laser-based cleaning is environmentally friendly and does not generate waste.
• Safety and Controlled Energy Level: The energy level of the laser beam is carefully adjusted to match the specific surface being cleaned. This ensures that the material is not overheated or damaged.
• Mobile Technology: Our fully mobile laser cleaning systems provide flexibility for on-site restoration projects.
