Use as intermediate layer below mineral-based final coat
Fibre reinforced, mineral-based embedding and smoothing mortar for indoor and outdoor use. High yielding Fixit 223 prevents mildew, fungus and algae attack due to its capillary active and water vapour permeable properties.
Fixit 223 is a component of the highly thermally insulating, acoustic-damping Aerogel insulating plaster system. It also serves as an intermediate layer for mineral-based final coats.
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
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.

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.

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 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 special character of the façade, with its striking window surrounds, has been preserved.
Conversion of a correctional facility into hotel/restaurant premises. The main planning effort was focused on the protected façade of the building, from which modern constructional elements (bay windows) extended. Using our Aerogel High Performance Thermally Insulating Plaster, the 350 m² west façade was insulated in accordance with the requirements of the preservation authorities.
A former farmhouse in the village of Egg. The owner wanted to keep the existing door jambs, so the old base coat and final layer were removed and replaced with a layer of Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster containing an embedded support mesh and coated with a 2mm silicate rubbed-down rending.
The façade of the building, containing both residential and business premises was renovated. The old render was completely removed, following which a 4 cm layer of Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Thermally Insulating Plaster was applied.
Base and finish coats removed. Rough cast mortar Fixit 211, Fixit 222 30 mm thick, mineral undercoat stabilizer Fixit 493, mesh embedding with Fixit 223. Undercoat with Fixit 471 Plaster base Premium then Fixit 732 APS Silicate plaster first 1.5mm then 0.5mm slurry. Fixit 784 silicate paint.
Interior renovation: The entire property is a listed building. For this reason, a gentle interior renovation was considered. For this reason, the existing base and finish plaster was removed from the interior exterior walls and replaced with Aerogel high-performance insulation plaster Fixit 222. Photo: BEP, 8037 Zurich
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.
To accomplish this indoor thermal improvement work we first removed the internal plasterwork and then subsequently applied a 30 mm thick layer of Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Thermally Insulating Plaster.
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.

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 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.
Improving the energy efficiency of the entire building. Renewal of approx. 100 m2 of indoor plasterwork over 3 floors, layer thickness 3-4 cm of Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster.
In this renovation, prior to applying the Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster we filled the joints and applied a roughcast mortar containing an adhesive agent.
