Creative architects, planners and builders have a growing interest in realizing fine-graded surfaces on base coat renders (underlay renders) or on external thermal insulation composite systems. With…
Old facades are often damaged by moisture and salts that have migrated into the construction. Chalking surfaces, spalling plaster, moisture penetration, surface discolouration and cracking are the…
Conventional lime-cement plasters are the best solution for these substrates due to their low water content.
There are several options for plastering magnesite-bonded wood wool lightweight board panels, the safest of which are shown here.
GISOTON bricks are heat-insulating and mainly consist of a core of polystyrene and expanded clay on the front side. Different surfaces require a tailored choice of renders for the reliable rendering…
Wood-chip cement formwork blocks are a particular substrate for rendering. In contrast to polystyrene formwork blocks, wood-chip concrete blocks can be rendered with conventional mortars. Two…
When renovating half-timbered buildings, damaged areas or weather sides exposed to heavy driving rain can be durably protected with a new render.
Depending on the surface's unevenness, polystyrene formworks blocks can be rendered/plastered after filling either with a normal reinforcing mortar or a special lightweight render.
In the case of heat-insulating masonry, thermal bridges (e.g. ceiling edges, lintels, columns, projections and skirting areas) are often formed with XPS-R insulation boards.
Mineral renders can be easily applied also on mineral boards. It is important to respect the specified minimum layer thickness.
The method can be used to renovate unpainted, mineral renders on facades if these only show render-related shrinkage and stress cracks. It must be ruled out that these are construction-related cracks…
Here, a possibility is shown how to renovate historical without using lime-cement plasters, but only lime and trass lime plasters.
The repair of static (stationary or slightly moving) cracks is most safely carried out with an ETICS (see also application tip: "Repair of cracked facades or joints with an ETICS"). If only the…
When renovating a half-timbered structure, it is sometimes necessary to completely re-create the framework (i.e. open spaces between the beams). In many cases, however, only the existing brick-lined…
When renovating facades with render or ETICS, one often encounters substrates with ceramic claddings or double-shell masonry.
This procedure takes into account the crack repair methods and additionally describes the testing of the existing coating.
Smooth plasters can be applied both on basecoats and on external thermal insulation composite systems and also on insulating plasters.
If the masonry has a high residual moisture and is only superficially dry (e.g when the chambers of the masonry elements were filled by rain during the construction period or in the particular case…
An explanation step by step how to assemble of reveal boards.
Mineral scratch overlay render is a classic and timeless topcoat, that is currently experiencing a true revival. With the application tips described herebelow, you will achieve an optimal working…

Flush-mounting door intercoms in ETICS
The weber.projekt prefabricated frame for ETICS speeds up the installation of external thermal insulation systems, especially on construction sites with many openings, e.g in offices, hotels or…
