Information

The old, listed mill in Sissach was one of the first historic buildings to undergo energy-efficient renovation in 2012 using the world-first Fixit 222 aerogel high-performance insulating plaster. The finishing plaster was applied using Fixit 203 finishing plaster (with hydraulic lime), thus replicating the original historical finish. This reference project demonstrates that listed building conservation and energy-efficient renovation can go hand in hand – without changing the appearance.

Parish assistant's house renovation Bremgarten

Parish assistant's house renovation Bremgarten

The late Gothic building probably served as a chaplaincy for the Bullingerpfründe and became a parish assistant's house after the recatholisation in 1531. The building, which is now a listed building, has been renovated several times over the centuries – most recently in 1990. Following the conversion and energy-efficient renovation in 2016, the historic building continues to be used for residential purposes. A studio was created on the ground floor, which could also be used as a one-room flat with a small kitchen and bathroom. A 2.5-room flat was created on the first floor and a 4.5-room maisonette flat on the second floor. In addition, a basement extension with a new archive for the parish was built.

The four-storey apartment building in La Chaux-de-Fonds was renovated to improve its energy efficiency using Fixit 222 Aerogel high-performance insulating plaster.

The apartment building on Vicq d'Azir in Paris, built in 1950, was in need of energy-efficient renovation. To this end, the building with its quarry stone masonry was prepared accordingly. The old plaster was removed, the substrate was consolidated and then Fixit 222 Aerogel high-performance insulating plaster was applied with a layer thickness of 5 cm. This preserved the external appearance of the façade.
