House of the curate, Bremgarten

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.

Retirement and nursing home Gampelen BE

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.

Energy efficient renovation Chesa Palmira, Bever

The Chesa Palmira was built in 1672, and the original floor plan has remained unchanged till today. The façade of this historic building was energy efficiently renovated by applying an 8 cm thick layer of Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster. Fixit 208 was used for the final coat. Finally lime whitewash was applied to the façade and the identical sgraffito pattern from 1952 was carved into it.
