Historic building Mühlestock renovation in Madiswil

Historic building Mühlestock renovation in Madiswil

The historic Mühlestock building in Madiswil is a listed building, which meant that external insulation was not an option in this case. In order to renovate the building in line with conservation requirements and improve its energy efficiency, Fixit 222 Aerogel high-performance insulating plaster was used. This allowed the interior walls to be visually preserved with their original character and historically curved, slightly sloping walls. The insulating plaster was applied to the quarry stone masonry of the interior walls with a layer thickness of 3–8 cm.

Historic building ‘Chesa Palmira’ Renovation Bever

Chesa Palmira in Bever was built in 1672 and the original floor plan has remained unchanged to this day. The façade of the historic building was already in a relatively dilapidated state. During the renovation, the desire for energy-efficient improvements arose. This was achieved with Fixit 222 Aerogel high-performance insulating plaster – an 8 cm layer was applied to achieve the desired result, leaving the historic appearance virtually unchanged. Fixit 208 base mix for restoration was used as the finishing plaster. The façade was then whitewashed and the sgraffito from 1952 was restored identically.

Multi-family house interior insulation Küssnacht am Rigi

Multi-family house interior insulation Küssnacht am Rigi

This multi-family house from the 1960s impresses with its architecturally valuable exposed concrete walls. The energy-efficient renovation was therefore carried out in such a way that the aesthetic appearance of the building could be preserved unchanged from the outside. To this end, internal insulation made from Fixit 222 Aerogel high-performance insulating plaster was applied during the renovation. The high insulating performance of this top-quality product allows a very thin layer of only 5 cm of insulating plaster to be applied in order to achieve the desired results.

Modern church renovation in Zurich

Modern church renovation in Zurich

This small church in Zurich is visually striking thanks to its unique shape: floating, cubic elements are combined with a round, almost tower-like element. Insulation was to be installed to reduce energy consumption. However, conventional insulation boards would have been extremely difficult to install due to the curves. Therefore, Fixit 222 aerogel high-performance insulation plaster was used. After removing the old base and top coat layers, the system was built up using the highly efficient Fixit 222 aerogel insulation plaster. Fixit 777 fine plaster with a terracotta-coloured coat was used as the top coat.
