Overview

Project Example Schloss Lich

The Task

As part of thorough renewal of the render, damage to the façade - especially extensive render damage, caused in the base area of the walls by high salt exposure - was to be repaired and the severely weathered and dirty oil coating was to be replaced. The coating system specification was for particular weather-resistance and long system life. In addition, the system had to be extremely water-vapour permeable and have a matt, mineral look. The material and colouring were to merge to form a representative appearance, and weak mottling was explicitly desired as a vivid surface effect.

The Project Stages

The commissioned architects and painting contractor therefore chose the BEECK Pure Crystalline Finish paint system. Assisted by the BEECK consultant responsible, in the first step sample areas (so-called “Musterachsen”) were prepared in which to try out precise colour recipes and determine consumption values. Based on this the individual façade areas could then be redecorated in their new colour speedily - coordinated with construction progress - and with optimum material use.

The Paint System Used

For the façade renovation and colour redesign of Schloss Lich, a silicate glaze technique was used, which was applied with a pure silicate system (completely free from organic fractions).

The Result

The matt, slightly mottled surface of the new coating enhances the present day castle complex in true period style and maintains the listed building character of the property. The BEECK Pure Crystalline Finish paint system was also able to fulfil all the requirements that had been set by the owner and the building heritage conservation authority.
