The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
Even a cursory glance along the streets of the old town reveals that the majority of façades are in very poor condition. However, it is also true that a handful of owners of multi-dwelling buildings are opting either for renovation or for the installation of thermal insulation façades, which could serve as an example to others.
Problem
Even a cursory glance along the streets of the old town reveals that the majority of façades are in very poor condition.
Solution and Method
However, it is also true that a handful of owners of multi-dwelling buildings are opting either for renovation or for the installation of thermal insulation façades, which could serve as an example to others. By adding thermal insulation, buildings become environmentally friendly. For buildings that are under the supervision of the institute, this method of renovation is not permitted; only renovation using traditional methods is allowed.
The façade is the face of every building, and these faces together form the mirror of the entire town of Ptuj. With a degree of ingenuity and within the framework of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, a building can appear warm, homely, and beautiful, or conversely sad, cold, and ultimately repellent. The façade can tell us a great deal about a building.
In most cases, the issues are directly or indirectly connected with moisture in the walls and renders, and partly also with the use of unsuitable materials during renovation. An experienced observer will be able to notice at first glance the white maps spreading across the entire façade, thereby revealing the presence of capillary moisture containing salts, as the buildings have neither horizontal nor vertical damp-proof courses installed. The thesis presents the procedure for façade renovation in the old town centre under the supervision of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia.
The thesis covers all stages – from obtaining the necessary approvals from the institute, to the required documentation for the operational execution of works, including a demonstration of renovation using traditional methods and the use of modern materials.
