The major fire in the cathedral took a heavy toll on the natural stone masonry. Soot and released pollutants settled on and in the walls, causing damage to them. Cleaning was carried out using a solvent-free, film-binding peel-off paste, which traps the impurities. The layer that forms is then stripped off to remove the particles from the masonry.

All the wooden elements needed to have the same final colour, even if they were made from different types of wood by different companies. Working closely with the architect and the building contractor, Remmers coordinated the technical aspects of the coating.

Sustainability played a major role in the choice of materials: The wood for the staircase came from sustainable forestry and the wood waste generated during the construction of the staircase was also reused. The products used were also chosen for their sustainable credentials. At the same time, they also need to withstand the high loads that are exerted on the stairs and floors by numerous visitors over long periods of time.

The new construction of the underwater world and the large aviary in Luisenpark had to be finished with flat roof structures that would provide reliable waterproofing over the long term. Due to the exposed location and the construction-related moisture load, the flat roofs are the part of the building that is subject to the most stress. A flat roof is exposed not only to rainwater, but also to extreme temperature differences, complex structural-physical interactions and mechanical loads, such as stresses caused by expansion, shrinkage and deflection of the structure. The individuality of the roof construction presented planners and contractors with particular challenges when waterproofing the flat roof construction. But a quick and easy solution was found in the form of MB PUReactive+.

Choosing the right floor coating system was an important aspect when planning the hangar. The authorities stipulated that the system used must be approved according to the German Federal Water Act. In addition, the maintenance areas in the hall needed to meet slip resistance class R11, while the planned washing area required a slip resistance rating of R11/V4. And that’s not all: In addition to the rolling loads of the aeroplanes, the flooring – spanning a surface are of more than 10,000 m² – would also need to withstand other intensive mechanical and chemical stresses. And if that wasn’t already challenging enough, the floor coating had to be applied within just four weeks.

The Hagn family commissioned the conversion of a former storage depot for the delivery, production and distribution of red and white wine. The project called for the installation of an industrial floor that could meet the hygiene requirements of the food production sector and the loads exerted by the transport vehicles. The decision was taken to use a chemically and mechanically resilient, pigmented epoxy coating that fulfils all the physical and hygienic criteria.

The Millennium Háza is located in the famous “Városliget” city park in the centre of Budapest. Formerly known as the Olof Palme House, the building was designed by Ferenc Pfaff in 1885 in the Neo-Renaissance style. The building originally served as a venue for art exhibitions. Over the course of the 20th century, it housed the city museum, a sculptor’s workshop, a dance school and various restaurants. After lying vacant for many years, the Millennium Háza underwent restoration between 2017 and 2022.

Numerous sandstone buildings in the park have been damaged or destroyed over the centuries due to peeling, iron crusts and salt exposure. To counteract the exponential progression of weathering, classic and elasticising stone strengtheners were used on the walls, decorative elements and sculptures. With the help of a special binding agent, various additives were used to produce and apply injection compounds, battering mortar and glazes on site.

In order to withstand the daily stresses and strains of employees’ vehicles, a coating system specially designed for surfaces with heavy traffic loads was applied. The epoxy blinded coating features high chemical and mechanical resilience.

Two solutions were used to waterproof the house. The first step was to seal the ground floor base. This was done from above. The base of the house was then waterproofed from the outside. This protects the substrate of the building from moisture on both sides.

It was important to create a floor that would score high points not just for design but also for durability. It would also have to be slip resistant and easy to clean. Defects in the existing floor were patched up using Betofix R4 and Betofix HQ3. The substrate was then primed, laminated, coated and sealed using a variety of Remmers products. All the products used feature exceptional mechanical and chemical durability, slip resistance and UV resistance. A fast-drying primer was used to save time during the work.

The new reception building next to the school church has a large window façade. The window frames were treated with natural effect varnishes in order to preserve the natural appearance of the Accoya wood and protect it against the elements. The internal walls were treated with Decorative Wax Stain. This product is recommended for damp rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens, making it ideal for the reception building since this is also used as a cafe.
