Water vapour permeable, high performance insulating plaster. Excellent thermal insulation achieved with very thin layers. Fixit 222 is the ideal plaster for indoor and outdoor thermal renovation work and offers high aesthetic quality.
The special aerogel material, developed in cooperation with Empa, reduces the thermal conductivity coefficient λto just 0,028 W/(mK). In addition, as a limestone-based mortar it is extremely economic.
The Fixit renovation technique, including the use of a 30mm thick plaster layer of Fixit 222 Insulating Plaster, created a novel room climate based on its water-vapour permeability. The combined layers of the plaster system absorb excess humidity from the air and return it in a controlled way to the room, preventing the development of mildew

The late Gothic building presumably served as a chaplaincy for the foundation of the Bullingerpfründe in 1460 and became a helper's house after its re-catholicisation in 1531. The approximately 500-year-old property, which is now a historic monument, has been renovated time and again over the course of its use, most recently 60 years ago completely and in 1990 with a gentle interior and exterior renovation.
Since the historic building is covered by a preservation order, it was not possible to use mineral-wool insulation on its outdoor surfaces. The owners wished to retain the original character of the building, for which reason they decided that Fixit 222 High Performance Insulating Render should be used, also because the walls were bowed and not vertical. Internal renovation was carried out with a layer thickness of 30 – 80 mm of Fixit 222 Aerogel flexible high performance insulating plaster over quarry stone walls.
The façade of this multi-family residential building was renovated using Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Thermally Insulating Plaster, among other materials. A 4 cm layer was applied over 1,200 m².
Architecturally and aesthetically valuable exposed concrete walls were energy efficiently renovated by applying layer of Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster to the indoor faces. The appearance was maintained unchanged. The excellent thermal insulation meant that a minimal application of just 5 cm of plaster was adequate to achieve the required performance.

Rubble masonry building
A multiple-family dwelling located in the centre of Rümland. Part of the façade was insulated with Flumroc Compact Pro mineral-wool panels, the rest (for reasons of space) with Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster. The old base and finish layers were removed in advance of the application of the Aerogel insulating plaster. This allowed the original window and door frames to be used as before.
To achieve this thermal optimization, we first of all removed the plaster on the indoor walls then applied a 30mm layer of Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster.
Chateau built in the 18th century.
Energy efficient renovation of a prefabricated building using AEROBRAN® High Performance Thermally Insulating Plaster system. 3100 m² of preinstalled exposed aggregate jointed concrete slabs were coated with the insulating plaster system. Joint-free, biocide-free and non-flammable. Energy efficient renovation as per KfW 85 requirements. The building is being subject to scientific measurements by the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT.

Energy-efficient renovation of 48 apartments in 8 residential buildings. Some 2'800 m² of Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Thermally Insulating Plaster and 600 m² AeroCalce non-woven fabric matting were applied, the former directly onto the existing plaster substrate. This technique was economic despite the higher material outlay because it allowed the entire renovation to be completed in one step rather than two, as initially envisaged. On completion the façades appear practically unchanged, whilst the energy consumption has been halved.
The ABZ cooperative apartment buildings on Hochstrasse in Zurich Fluntern, built by Otto Streicher in 1926, were last extensively renovated in the mid-1970s. The aim was to preserve the external appearance and the internal spatial structure in their essence. Therefore, it was decided to apply an aerogel high-performance insulation plaster Fixit 222 to the façades, while retaining the existing jambs. Foto: Markus Frietsch
The 4-unit multiple-family dwelling was completely renovated, both internally and externally. The energy-efficient façade restoration was carried out using a 4 - 5 cm thick layer of Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Thermally Insulating Plaster.

The multiple-family dwelling lies on the uphill side of the platform of Rüschlikon railway station. Not too long ago the building had been threatened with demolition, but after its purchase by the Rüschlikon Housing Foundation it was decided that the premises would be renovated. Energy efficient renovation was carried out using Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster. The original appearance of the building was maintained unchanged.
This object was insulated on the inside with 100 mm Fixit 222 high-performance thermal insulation plaster. In the basement, the exterior walls were renovated on the inside with Fixit 210 Hydroment. The facade was fully embedded with Fixit 462 and plastered with Fixit203 plaster with hydraulic lime.

A former manor house from the 17th century in Gampelen BE has been renovated for energy efficiency using Fixit 222 high-performance aerogel insulation plaster. Thanks to this, the historical appearance of today's old people's home could be preserved, the consumption of heating energy has been reduced and there is a pleasant indoor climate inside.
The old mill, which was converted to a multiple family dwelling, was one of the first historically important buildings to undergo energy-efficient renovation using Fixit 222, a worldwide first. Subsequently Fixit 203 Finish Coat with hydraulic lime was applied to the façade of the protected building to faithfully reproduce the original plasterwork.
The old base and finish layers were chiseled off and then replaced with Fixit 211, Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster, Fixit 497, Fixit 223, Fixit 475, Fixit 777 and a paint coat. Wall base areas sealed with Fixit 373 Multiflex.
The façade was newly coated with a layer of Fixit 222 High Performance Insulating Render. The existing render was removed only in the area of reveals and lintels to provide thermal insulation. In addition the concrete window-sills were replaced with insulated Dosteba elements.
The venerable vintner's house was restored in a gentle fashion. The façade and roof structure were renovated in accordance with current techniques.
Façade refurbishment: For the purpose of energy-efficiency refurbishment, the old base plaster and top plaster were stripped off and an airgel high-performance insulating plaster Fixit 222 was applied. A silicate-silicone plaster Fixit 740 Si with a grain thickness of 2.0 mm was used as the finishing plaster.
Since no significant changes to the appearance of the façade were permitted, the decision was made to use Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster.
The façade was renovated with a 50mm thick layer of Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster.
The school building dating from 1884 was comprehensively renovated. Energy efficient repair of the façade using Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster.
The old façade base coat was removed down to the quarry-stone wall, then completely rebuilt as follows (including allowing for appropriate drying times): Fixit 493 Mineral-based Undercoat Stabilizer was first sprayed onto the quarry-stone wall, then a 6 – 8 cm thick layer of Fixit 222 High Performance Insulating Render applied with reinforcing mesh, attached with Fixit 223 Special Embedding Mortar, embedded over the whole surface. Fixit 475 Primer for Mineral-Based Final Rendering was applied as an undercoat over the entire façade. The large white areas were covered twice with 0.5mm coats of Fixit 777 Fine Extra White Render. The smaller grey areas were covered with a mixture of Fixit 205 (base coat with hydraulic lime) and 208 (basic mixture for restauration work) to create a Tyrolean render. This was applied with a hand-operated plaster spreader/flicker. Finally the façade was given two coats of mineral-based paint.
